MX3 Marketing Experience Delivered

As Director of MX3 Marketing Experience Delivered (www.mx-3.ie), I have the privilege of working with business owners to help them spread their brand message across digital and traditional media by building and implementing smarter marketing strategies. Networking has played a huge role in the development of my business and me as a person over the past number of years. The community spirit, support and tenacity of the members in Wicklow and across Network Ireland as a whole is what attracted me to join in 2017, and it was the best decision I could have made at the time. I knew I was in the right place from the first day I visited the Wicklow branch for an evening event under the stewardship of Louisa Meehan at the time. Since then, I have been delighted to support our Wicklow branch on the committee and I was honoured to be the Wicklow branch President for 2022. I look forward to supporting Joanne Costello in 2023 as EX Officio.
