My background

Before setting up my consultancy service in 2009, I spent more than 30 years in account management and strategic planning roles within large advertising agencies and PR consultancies in both Ireland and New Zealand.

I have developed and implemented innovative brand strategies for a wide range of social marketing, FMCG, healthcare, financial services and retail brands including TeachNZ, Sanitarium Healthfood, BP, Hyundai, Nestle, TSB Bank, Panadol and Life Pharmacy.
