About

With an extensive 15 year background in insights and media, my expertise has been honed in delivering cutting-edge quantitative and qualitative research as well as deploying effective media planning strategies. At Human8, my focus was on generating actionable insights that drive strategic decisions across diverse industries, from FMCG to healthcare. I am very comfortable managing people, running projects from brief to delivery and looking to grow and expand the client repertoire. Project scope ranged from trackers, product innovation, in depth discussion forums, ethnographies, U&A, supported by advanced tools and methodologies that include Max Diff, Price point analysis and TURF analysis. I have experience using AI tools, dashboards and other more bespoke methodologies such as ICE (Integrated Communications Evaluation studies). Some of the work I've done been a part of has won a range of industry awards such as Game of Thrones for Tourism Ireland and Sea of Thieves for Microsoft. Myself and my team’s success is rooted in a deep commitment to understanding consumer behaviour, utilising advanced analytics, and contributing to diversity and inclusion initiatives. We've delivered tailored solutions that resonate with our clients and supported meaningful progress within the organisation.
