Zebedee people

Zebedee Marketing joined forces with Kieran Dwyer in 2006, creating a synergy that has formed one of the strongest creative marketing agencies in the South of Ireland. Each of us in Zebedee brings different talents and experiences to the table, and the result is a well rounded partnership, offering our clients a very comprehensive and personal service to benefit their entire marketing requirements.

Sue Frawley - Marketing Director

A gold medal award winner and graduate of the Marketing Institute, Sue has been in the business for over 22 years. Seeing a gap in the market for SME’s who did not have their own marketing personnel, Sue set up Zebedee with fellow Director Andrea Gunn in 2001. Prior to that her experience covered a broad range of clients from Bank of Ireland to Ford, British Airways and Sun Alliance. The company has since evolved through the need of clients to outsource other services.

What makes me tick: I think life is far too short to spend it doing something you don't enjoy. I love what I do and I think that shows in our work. I have two young children and my family is also very important to me so getting the balance right is crucial. The time that I have to spend at work has to be effective and I bring that same discipline to the work for our clients.

Enjoys: I really enjoy athletics and used to run competitively, winning some All Ireland medals. Now I spend more leisure time walking with my family. I love living near the sea and the outdoors. Invigorating water sports come high on my agenda on a summer’s evening!
Andrea Gunn - Sales Director

A passionate sales executive who has been dedicated to the cause since an early age! Experienced both in the business sector and hospitality industry, Andrea is a natural entrepreneur with a stubborn determination to get the job done successfully, seizing opportunities which others miss.

What makes me tick: I get a great buzz when our clients do well following our work with them. I love working as part of a team and really enjoy the challenge of different projects. The need for action and new challenges motivates me daily!

Enjoys: Life is for living so enjoying my job makes my life perfect! I love being with family and friends, going for walks with our dogs, horse riding and adventures at high speed on the high seas! Music is a must and of course flowers – their vibrant colours have fascinated me for years.
Kieran Dwyer - Creative Director

Continual driven to produce creative, strong and effective design solutions that really work for the client, Kieran considers work an ongoing education in all aspects of the business but particularly design. His experience in the business stems back over 18 years, working in a land before computers and straight out of a diploma course in WIT. Kieran consequently concluded his studies, receiving an Honours degree from Leeds Metropolitan University.

What makes me tick: Good design and great ideas in any discipline give me a rush! Finding a successful resolution for the client gives me enormous satisfaction. Everyday is different, every job is new and that’s how it should be, every client presents a different scenario which allows us to get excited about each and every one. Splitting my energies between three smallies at home and our work isn't easy, the equilibrium is so important in making sure there are smiling faces all around!

Enjoys: The sea is my first love when it comes to time off, I like to be in it, on it, or around it. Sailing for pleasure and competitively since I was a child, I now try to find as much time as possible to get the kin afloat.
Siobhan Mulcahy - Design Executive

With four years experience in the field, Siobhan is Zebedee’s Design Executive, bringing both creative talent plus management experience to the team. Siobhan also has 10 years of experience working in the hospitality industry. She has worked in various management positions in the Ireland, UK, France and the United States. Four years ago, she bravely decided on a career change to pursue her true calling, which is design.

What makes me tick: Carpe Diem. I enjoy getting the most out of life, both at work and at home. I love seeing a job through from beginning to end. Giving the customer the design they want means a job well done.

Enjoys: I love being with my friends and socializing and I also enjoy painting and playing the piano. I love living near the sea and going for walks with our dog. I try to take a winter break and go snowboarding when I can.
Nigel Robertson - Senior Designer

Having moved to Cork in June 2007, Nigel has been working at Zebedee for a year and a half. With significant expertise and creative flair, Nigel has been working in the design industry for over 13 years and has over 5 years experience in website design and construction. Nigel is Senior Designer in Zebedee.

What makes me tick: Moving from my ‘native’ Edinburgh to Cork has really broadened my horizons. It was a scary but great life changing event. Living in Cork has allowed me to meet new people while continuing to work in an industry and environment I really get something from. There’s no haggis here though...

Enjoys: I really enjoy all aspects of design as well as sifting through lines of html code. Painting with Acrylic on canvas is another passion, as is a good pint of Murphys. I combine the two when I can.
Margot Mulcahy - PR Consultant

A great communicator, Margot recently joined Zebedee as their Public Relations Consultant. With many years experience, Margot also brings a wealth of experience in marketing and project management in the hospitality industry to the team.

What makes me tick: Having a sense of humour keeps me sane and I love being busy with lots to do! I am a bit of a perfectionist and hate to see second rate work and wasted potential. I get great satisfaction on the completion of a successful project and happy clients..

Enjoys: Photography is high on my list and I love nature. Walks with our crazy springer spaniel, gardening and golf also play an important part of leisure time. I really enjoy time spent with my family – especially when we manage to have a family skiing holiday! I love living by the sea and swimming. I also enjoy painting, music and writing – I would love to write a book!
