Rich O’Brien
Head of Digital
Rich is an experienced digital marketer with a love for music and all things digital. After joining Newicon in 2013 as an administrator and glorified office tea boy, Rich found his passion for digital marketing and soon formed the digital marketing department now known as Flex Digital. Since then he has taken the team from strength to strength, developing new services, building long-lasting client and partner relationships and working on training and consultancy programmes. His short sabbatical to companies such as SunLife helped him see what life was like in both client-side and agency-side roles, bringing in the learnings from both and applying these to the day to day running of Flex Digital. Outside of work, he still enjoys creating and writing music, playing gigs, gaming and spending time with family and friends. Oh and he can also clap with one hand… so that solves that age old question…
