ASSOCIATED MARKETING LIMITED

Associated Marketing Limited is an Irish export-growth specialist that partners with credible SMEs to accelerate their sales into new overseas markets. Since its founding in 1970, the firm has helped companies of all sizes - from a few million euros to several billion - across a wide range of product sectors, drawing on experience in Ireland, the EU, the US and Asia.

The company's model is simple and risk-free for clients: for a minimum of five years it funds all up-front market-entry costs, manages the export operation and assumes all international contract and debtor risks. In return, Associated Marketing recovers its investment through an agreed share of the sales it helps generate. Its current focus is on opening doors for Irish firms in Scandinavia, the Middle East and India, leveraging the expertise of CEO Hugh Kelly, former chairman of the Irish Exporters Association's Asia Trade Forum and past President of the association.

By removing financial barriers and providing hands-on market-entry support, Associated Marketing enables Irish businesses to grow exports sustainably, profitably and with lasting impact on Ireland's international success story.
