What did you do before joining Impact Media?
Most recently I returned to college to undertake a Masters in Marketing at the University of Limerick. I also worked for a number of years in sales and consultative roles within the property and recruitment sectors in the Mid West. During my time in UL I also worked as a tutor within the Management and Marketing Department.
Where are you from?
Limerick
What exactly do you do?
I work as Marketing & Business Development Manager at Impact Media. My role involves driving the business, meeting new and potential clients and generally getting the Impact Media name out there!! I also provide a consultative role for clients, advising on the optimum marketing strategy for their business.
What’s the best buzz about your job?
Being part of such an innovative and creative team. I feel genuinely proud talking to people about the work we do and the services we provide.
What are your career highlights so far?
Joining Impact Media…hopefully the best is yet to come.
What are your spare time passions?
Spending time with family and friends. And as I am from Munster I would be disowned if I did not mention rugby – strictly as a spectator though.
Your one secret (but non-work related) talent.
I fall short on interesting talents. I could probably say a poem if I was pushed but you don't ever want to hear me try to sing or play a musical instrument.
What’s your favourite ad of all time?
It was before my time but the advertising campaign that best caught my imagination during my academic research was The Volkswagen ‘Think Small’ campaign created by the DDB agency in 1959. It helped change advertising into how we know it today and launched VW as a global brand. It did everything a good advertising campaign should set out to do.
If you were reincarnated, who or what would you come back as?
A professional tennis player.
I wish I knew more about…
There is a long list which includes geography, history, politics and sport…Oh and cooking.
People say I look like…
Sorry I’ve got nothing…my Mom.
What’s your idea of perfect happiness?
Surfing on a tropical beach with good friends, no requirement for a horrid wetsuit and no messy white wash to struggle through. Then I might finally be able to surf after 5 years of trying!
What’s your dream vehicle?
It changes regularly but currently I wish I drove a Volvo C30. And for the weekends a fully fitted camper van so I could take off and explore the country whenever the sun was shining.
If I wasn’t working for Impact Media, I would be…
Living out of my VW camper some place in Italy....or more realistically, probably at home painting my sitting room.
