Retail and social media strategies are particular specialities of Des Mulholland, who in addition to being a member of Facebooks Client Council has worked for and with such organisations as Dunne’s Stores, The National Trust, Woodies DIY, National Hardware Association and Haldane Fisher.

Des provides high-level business development strategies and management controls to build consistently improved business performance. He is strategically focused analytical, flexible and able to influence at all levels.

Des will be discussing where social media presence and selling fits into a business’ marketing strategy, why it should be an extension of selling techniques rather than replacing them and will illustrate by example what does and doesn’t work when generating sales when engaging with markets digitally.
