Welcome
Good Life 2030 is an invitation to imagine a brighter future.
The Irish advertising industry has united to launch the world’s first large-scale campaign “Less Buying, More Being” challenging the consumerism culture around Black Friday. The campaign, inspired by conversation with citizens across Ireland, promotes a vision of wellbeing focused on connection rather than consumption.
The campaign’s messages - displayed in both Irish and English - include: “ Less Shopping Sprees, More Native Trees,” “Less Buying, More Being,” and “Less Fast Pace. More Open Space.” These messages appears on TV, cinema, radio, outdoor advertisements, and online media throughout November 2024, to coincide with Black Friday sales.

The artwork was painted outside in nature, the films were captured in the wilds of Co. Wicklow, and the radio was produced in collaboration with ornithologist and wildlife sounds recordist Séan Ronayne aka Irish Wildlife Sounds. All audio clips used are originals by Séan, captured in a variety of locations across Ireland.
