Ciaran Dolan

Art Director

Crayon wielding Art director specialising in content creation, online, digital and social strategy. After spending seven years working in the commercial photography industry, the lure of the full creative process brought me agency side where I create, produce and direct social, video, content and activations for clients such as Bulmers, Kildare Village and TG4 while also picking up a few awards along the way. Currently spending most free time learning to put bobbins in hair and negotiate bedtimes with a two year old.
