Killarney

By Michelle Crean
<h3>A 22-year-old local man is so keen to help businesses adopt a new approach to marketing that he has set up his own company.</h3>
Not one to rest on his laurels, Cian Gammell from Muckross Grove is currently in his final year studying Biochemistry full-time in UCC. He is also balancing his time with a part-time role in Apple as a technical support advisor and is looking to pursue a career in Pharmaceuticals after college.
By setting up Tourism Killarney Digital Marketing, he plans to offer a variety of services with flexible plans and reasonable prices to support businesses who wish to upgrade or update their online presence in the market place.
&#8220;It&#8217;s now no longer an option to have well-structured business social media platforms, it&#8217;s a requirement,&#8221; Cian said.
&#8220;Learning necessary skills to create websites, edit videos and produce consistent, captivating content on social can take time.&#8221;
The popular footballer plays with Killarney Legion, has also represented Kerry at underage including Minor and U20 in the last few years while also playing a part in St Brendan&rsquo;s Colleges Hogan Cup double in 2016 and 2017. He has undertaken a course in Social Media Marketing and now is doing a course on Data Science and Analytics to further upskill.
&#8220;With this new venture, I am looking to help local businesses of all sorts get off the ground in terms of helping with websites, Instagram, and marketing strategies,&#8221; he said. &#8220;There is never a perfect time to build a website or create ads, the sooner you can get your brand name out there and make an impact, the better. The average person spends over two hours a day on social media, that&#8217;s a significant amount of time for businesses to capture the attention of people who tend to be generally aimlessly scrolling on various online platforms.&#8221;
