What can I say, this is my personal blog, I use it as a place to dump random ideas and thoughts I’ve had, or on things I’ve stumbled across on the web… I also use it as a place to write stuff about branding and social media from time to time, so feel free to poke around and leave comments.

Digital Media Consultant (AKA How I pay my mortgage):
Highly skilled Creative Digital Media Consultant with a proven 20 year track record in Digital Media, Branding and Live Events, liaising at a senior level predominantly in the pharmaceutical, financial, retail, corporate and governmental sectors.

Founding and developing my own successful digital agency, leading to it’s £1m acquisition, is testament to my thorough business acumen and comprehension of balancing financial planning and budgeting with client expectations, whilst inspiring employee engagement to achieve business objectives.

Combining my understanding of branding and digital media, with an extensive technical knowledge, having lead agile development environments, I continually monitor market trends and new technologies, assessing their potential implications and business benefits for clients and customers alike. Naturally take an open and analytical approach to forming proposals and excel in giving and advising on presentations and creative business strategies.

Living abroad and through years of producing live events and exhibitions worldwide, 
I have gained a wealth of practical knowledge of international client and customer cultures, interactions and touch points, both online and offline.

Leveraging my interest in personality profiling, I seek to build environments that stimulate creativity and encourage collaboration. An INTJ myself, thus naturally a big picture thinker, I endeavour to inspire others to think without constraints when brainstorming.

Innate interest to acquire new skills and keep abreast of developments in various fields, an active consumer of data visualisations and statistics, read extensively and engage in numerous business related social forums.

I’m currently developing ID me at™, an identity aggregator that lets users manage their contact details from a single location, the system then seamlessly pushes their most current info to their contact’s mobile & desktop address books, negating the need for anyone to input or lose contact information. It’s free and it’s now open for pre-registration for the Beta, so grab your username before someone else nabs it, as it’s first come first served.

For an example you can IDme@brendan

In tangent to “ID me at” I’m heading the development of www.nopaper.com, a business that handles digital information while dramatically reducing paper wastage (specifically in the live events, corporate environments and pharmaceutical industry). no paper is currently in beta, with a public release due soon.

I can’t believe you actually read all of that!
