Sumário

Having worked as a creative since 2007 I've got shedloads of experience in launching, maintaining and monitoring highly successful TV, press, radio and digital campaigns.

I gathered lots of awards and accolades working as a Copywriter & Creative in a number of advertising agencies in Ireland and Australia.

With all of this experience in advertising I have manoeuvred into a superb Content Coordinator role in the Institute of Advertising Practitioners in Ireland (IAPI), which is the body for the commercial creativity and communications industry in Ireland.

My ambition is to promote good, quality creative and back the people behind the work.
