Maj started her media career at UM London where she rose from Media Exec to Account Director cutting her planning teeth on the likes of L'Oreal.
After 8 years, she moved to Galway to raise her young family but stayed in the business with the Galway Advertiser. The lure of London and News UK brought her home where she first worked within their creative solutions dept before working for Abba Newberry as Head of Strategy.
After 4 years, Maj went back agency side joining her old work colleagues from UM days at December19 as Head of Clients, where she continues to be an inspiration to everyone.
Congrats Maj!
