Summary

I am a highly skilled creative, adept at meeting tight deadlines and successfully pitching to creative briefs. I headed up the Sync & Creative department at Paragon Records for three years, and built a robust network and client base from scratch. We had 2 clients and 0 creative briefs coming in when I started out as an intern during my third year of business school, and I expanded that to over 70 clients with creative briefs being received on a daily basis which resulted in the creation of new revenue streams and marketing channels. I am further developing my various skills and deepening my knowledge of the media industry during my time as an Account Executive at Dentsu Ireland.
