E-mail: andrew@halopromorisk.com
Andrew is an international promotional marketing leader. He’s built a successful career on delivering ground breaking promotional campaigns that have shifted the dial for clients such as Lucozade, McDonalds, Walkers, Carlsberg and GM to name but a few. At the heart of all this activity is always a big idea – and ideas that give tangible results by ensuring customers change their behaviour. During his career he’s been fortunate to ply his trade in US, EMEA, LatAm and more recently back home in UK.
Despite being a committed Evertonian Andrew’s glass always remains half full and you’ll find his experience of buying promotional risk a positive asset and support on your next promotional campaign.
