About Me
I have over 15 years experience developing, selling, negotiating and managing sponsorships & partnerships across Ireland, the UK and the Middle East. I bring a commercially driven and strategically focused approach to every project.
My career has spanned both sides of the industry. I’ve worked closely with leading rights holders (e.g. IRFU, GAA, Connacht Rugby, UAE Olympic Committee, Emirates Cricket Board etc. ) and globally recognised brands (e.g. Heineken, GSK, Unilever, McDonald’s, Cupra, Jaguar Land Rover, Emirates & more).
I have worked on every stage of sponsorships (e.g. strategy development, property selection & valuation, contract negotiation, activation, delivery management and performance measurement).
This ensures that your solution is tailored to your needs and not a copy and paste agency approach.
Who I Work With
-
I have worked with brands across almost every industry. With Fortune 500 Global Giants and local business looking to innovate.
I have also worked on both business and consumer focused brands.
-
My ethos is that sponsorship guidance should be available to rights holders of all size.
No sports club too small, no governing body too big. We all have sponsorship challenges including;
Sports governing bodies
Sports clubs
Arts & Culture
Music & Entertainment
Gaming & Esports
Charities
Festivals
Media
& more
-
Not all talent have agents experienced in sponsorship and not all talent want an agent - they prefer to be at the driving seat of their commercial deals;
Sports stars
Ambassadors
Celebrities
Influencers
Content Creators
etc.
-
Not all content creators have the budgets to hire a full time consultant or agency. However, they still have strong opportunities for brands that may be overlooked;
Podcasts
Youtube Channels
Media Owners (TV & Radio)
Social Media
Other (Gaming channels etc.)
