Brand Nerds

With decades of experience working in fashion, media and start-ups in Dublin, London and Amsterdam, Brand Nerds bring a mix of media expertise and digital marketing savvy to their approach to helping small businesses. As previous editors, heads of ops, project leads, and creative directors, we’ve experienced some of the pitfalls which can lead to failure as well as the strategies which lead to success. Having both worked in successful enterprises, we also understand what makes big companies tick. Niamh O’Dea is a creative director and digital strategist who lives in Cork. As creative director and part of the launch team of a fashion start-up and a med-tech in Amsterdam, she regularly devised and implemented high-impact digital marketing strategies. She is an accomplished fashion editor, stylist and columnist, and a blogger since the early 10s. She has a Dutch cat and an Irish baby. Regina Lavelle is an award-winning journalist and editor and holds an MA in Political Communications. She has been a commissioning editor on UK nationals, on the launch team for a startup which secured $7m funding and launched a UK newspaper iPad app. She lives in east London with a plant. Together, we offer complete and transparent pay-as-you-go marketing packages aimed at small and owner-operated businesses. No contracts, just results.
