Cian’s keen to help local businesses
By Michelle Crean
A 22-year-old local man is so keen to help businesses adopt a new approach to marketing that he has set up his own company.
Not one to rest on his laurels, Cian Gammell from Muckross Grove is currently in his final year studying Biochemistry full-time in UCC. He is also balancing his time with a part-time role in Apple as a technical support advisor and is looking to pursue a career in Pharmaceuticals after college.
By setting up Tourism Killarney Digital Marketing, he plans to offer a variety of services with flexible plans and reasonable prices to support businesses who wish to upgrade or update their online presence in the market place.
"It's now no longer an option to have well-structured business social media platforms, it's a requirement," Cian said.
"Learning necessary skills to create websites, edit videos and produce consistent, captivating content on social can take time."
The popular footballer plays with Killarney Legion, has also represented Kerry at underage including Minor and U20 in the last few years while also playing a part in St Brendan’s Colleges Hogan Cup double in 2016 and 2017. He has undertaken a course in Social Media Marketing and now is doing a course on Data Science and Analytics to further upskill.
"With this new venture, I am looking to help local businesses of all sorts get off the ground in terms of helping with websites, Instagram, and marketing strategies," he said. "There is never a perfect time to build a website or create ads, the sooner you can get your brand name out there and make an impact, the better. The average person spends over two hours a day on social media, that's a significant amount of time for businesses to capture the attention of people who tend to be generally aimlessly scrolling on various online platforms."
