Damian Traynor

Role: Marketing Director
Region: North West

Damian specialises in helping companies who haven’t yet benefited from marketing.

He’s established a marketing capability for many companies, some small and some large, but all using the same multi-disciplinary approach to marketing that he’s developed and evolved over the last 20 years.

Damian is a hands-on marketer with an outstanding track record in helping B2B companies in a variety of sectors including technology, financial services, professional services and outsourcing. He combines strong commercial, market and customer insight, an outcome driven approach and effective stakeholder engagement, to deliver outstanding results.
He’s a thinker and a doer.
