Ringan Ledwidge’s advertising work was marked by an ability to turn a 60-second spot into a slice of mini cinema that, while keeping the brand’s message front of mind, always hinted at much wider narratives. He brought a very human, emotional touch to his advertising stories, which could be funny, sexy or packed with pathos.
