ABOUT PAUL DARRAGH

Passionate, motivated, ambitious, trustworthy and adaptable to change with a willingness to learn new skills. I have 28 years of advertising sales experience selling across local, regional and major national press titles working on both Display and Classified sections with some of the UKs best known brand names as well as cross platform selling on B2B and B2C titles. Selling digital advertising solutions are a fundamental and stimulating part of my role. I thoroughly enjoy this aspect of the job. I am as comfortable prospecting potential new business as I am calling and maintaining established business whether it be a local business or large advertising agency. My decade of experience with Express Newspapers, News International & Mail Newspapers combined with my easy going nature allow me to naturally establish rapport quickly with both clients and media agencies alike, it also helps me to grow those relationships easily. I endeavour to give clients the best service by listening to them and responding to their needs quickly and efficiently.I have a real passion for digital media and run successful retro football Twitter and Facebook pages with over 29,500 Twitter followers. I would love to use this experience to help companies market themselves to a massive social media audience. My main strengths include prospecting for new business, account management, effective pitching, and outside the box thinking in order to give the client some creative alternatives and to get them thinking about what they can really achieve with their marketing. I will always act in the best interests of a client in order to help them achieve their desired results.I have a keenness to continually learn and develop new sales skills as I believe that a good salesperson never stops learning and am very flexible in my approach.
