Kalle Ryan Named “Creative Communicator of the Year” at 2025 Irish Enterprise Awards
Kalle Ryan has been named Creative Communicator of the Year 2025 at the Irish Enterprise Awards, hosted by EU Business News, recognising his achievements as a leading voice in creative communications, performance, and strategic storytelling.
Ryan, originally from Waterford, is a well-known figure in Ireland’s spoken word and arts scene, having curated LINGO, Ireland’s first and only spoken word festival, and hosted the acclaimed Brown Bread Mixtape live show for over a decade. Described by many in the artistic community as a dynamic MC and engaging performer, Ryan’s work bridges the worlds of communication, creativity, and culture.
In 2023, he founded poetic, a creative communications consultancy with a simple yet distinctive philosophy: “Get creative. Make a difference. Have fun.”
Positioning itself as a “playful, professional place with a creative lens on the world,” poetic offers strategic communications, keynote speaking, and workshops designed to spark original thinking. Whether delivering talks, developing messaging frameworks, or leading creative sessions, the company centres its work on combining clarity of message with human connection.
With a growing reputation for delivering high-impact workshops and engaging events, Poetic has carved out a niche as a consultancy that not only crafts crisp, strategic communications, but does so with creativity and fun at its core.
As Ryan continues to build on this latest recognition, he remains committed to the ethos that has guided much of his work: bringing people together through storytelling, empowering ideas, and creating space for fresh thinking.
