Ciaran Devine - Director DevineAir Ltd
IMS began in 2000 with a mobile phone, a laptop, and a clear vision: to help businesses grow through smart, strategic marketing. Working from home in those early days, the business quickly gained momentum—expanding into a full-service agency with a talented team and a growing portfolio of council, retail, and government contracts across Northern Ireland and the UK.
Our work was recognised at the Chartered Institute of Marketing (CIM) Awards, and over the years, many of our clients have gone on to receive accolades for their own marketing achievements—a reflection of the strategic foundations we help them build.
As the marketing landscape has evolved, so have we. IMS has always adapted to meet the changing needs of our clients. Unlike traditional marketing or purely digital agencies, we offer a blend of both—grounded in strategy, delivered with creativity, and focused on generating real results, not just metrics.
To make marketing work smarter.
At IMS, we build strategy-first plans that drive real growth—not just clicks and impressions. We blend insight, creativity, and action to help businesses across sectors stand out, scale up, and succeed.
No confusion. No guesswork. Just intelligent marketing that delivers.
With over 30 years in strategic marketing, I bring deep expertise shaped by hands-on work with local start-ups and global brands alike. My approach is collaborative and agile, I operate through a trusted network of associates, ensuring each project is matched with the right people and the right experience.
Continuous professional development keeps me sharp and aligned with today’s customer expectations. I’ve built a broad skill set across sectors, translating complex challenges into clear, actionable solutions that empower teams and drive results.
What hasn’t changed over the years? My passion. I still get a buzz when a project lands well, when the strategy clicks, and the outcomes speak for themselves.

Our initial consultations are a chance to listen, understand your goals, and get a feel for what’s working—and what could work better.
