About

Rather than dusting off some shoulder pads, digging out old denim shirts or grabbing a ‘scrunchy’, since blogging has been declared “over”, I decided that I’d go against the grain of fashion by starting a blog.

My name is Julie O’Donnell and I’ve been working in marketing and PR in Dublin since 2007, advising companies big and small across a range of sectors – Telecoms, IT, Healthcare, Recruitment, Interiors and Financial Services.

I’m Strategic Planning Director with Publicis D Healthcare (all views are my own) and am responsible for delivering market leading campaigns in the pharmaceutical sector -  Driving value for money and meeting objectives through implementing integrated PR, marketing and digital initiatives.

Focusing on public relations, digital strategy and social media, I’ll also blog about pretty much anything that catches my eye. I find these days that between reading other blogs, newspapers, tweets, and so on that we’re all inundated on a daily basis with interesting tit-bits of information, great articles and news on new tools/services. I intend to use this blog as a bit of a resource for myself – aggregating the best/most interesting/weirdest things I spot during the day.

Although I do have a healthy Waterford accent, a love of shiny gadgets, travel and Manchester United, I do not have an inflated ego so feel free to drop me a line, comment on the blog and proffer up any thoughts or criticisms you may have.
