Testimonials

“It was great working with Lucy in 2024. Last January when I thought about the year ahead, our 20 year anniversary in business, our rebrand and other projects that were in the pipeline, I knew I needed help to make sure we were highlighting the work we do and to continue developing my professional network which is key to my work.

Lucy instantly came to mind as someone who is well connected and understands how and when to position good news stories in order to profile our company. Her event management skills were excellent which I already knew having seen you in action previously!

Her guidance, mentoring and being a consistent sounding board during our time working together was an added bonus and was of great value to me and my team during the past year.

I look forward to working together again.”

“Given Lucy’s vast experience of working in a membership organisation, I recently asked her to carry out an extensive review of our membership and communications strategies, also looking at our profile in the business community and how to develop a comprehensive learning and development programme.

Lucy brought great focus and attention to detail to her work, listening to our needs and requirements. She quickly grasped a good understanding of the values or our organisation and of our target audience.

She has encouraged me and my team to think creatively and to embrace the new ideas which she delivered in a very detailed plan. She completed this review ahead of schedule, in a positive, professional and efficient manner, keeping me informed at all stages.

It was a pleasure to work with Lucy.”

“I truly appreciate the support and guidance provided, which has been incredibly valuable for me, especially at these early stages of my business.

Working with Lucy O’Donoghue was a great experience. Lucy was always professional, well-prepared, and shared useful advice that is already helping my business. Her knowledge and practical tips have given me more confidence to move forward with my plans, and I feel better prepared to grow my business thanks to her guidance.”

“I have used Lucy on multiple occasions to devise media campaigns for Eirdata Ltd and ESS Ltd. She has a great ability to listen and quickly grasped the ethos of our business, our key messages and our target audience. She gelled really well with my team, educating us on how the process would work and kept us on our toes as print, radio and online media opportunities arose. Lucy is highly organised, dedicated and insightful. She delivered on our plan in a professional, timely and efficient manner, keeping me well informed at all stages and following through on our ideas. The results have been very positive for our business. I highly recommend Lucy O’Donoghue Consulting to any business owner who needs to get their brand and message out there.”

“Lucy worked with the team at the Hincks Centre for Entrepreneurship Excellence, MTU, on two regional events in 2020. Lucy organised two photo shoots in West and East Cork, prepared and pitched or events to the media, all the while juggling constant changes to public restrictions due to Covid19. Her ideas, patience and excellent time management supported our team in delivering two very successful online events.

Lucy is an expert in her field and has endless contacts in the world of media and communications. It was a pleasure to work with her.”

“I engaged Lucy for some coaching at a time where I didn’t know, and really struggled with identifying who I was and what I am, to promote myself digitally as an expert in my field. It can be very difficult to put words to yourself and finding someone who can enable you to dig deep and help you to verbalise what it is you really want to say can also be very tough.

Lucy was fabulous to assist me in this way, she understood me professionally and the values I stand for and I finally got a Linkedin profile I was confident in sharing with others and feel proud of.

Many thanks Lucy.”

“Working with Lucy was a complete pleasure and I can honestly say we would not have received HPSU investment from Enterprise Ireland without her. Here is the story… We worked with Lucy on general PR of our young technology company. One of the pieces she landed was “businesses to watch out for. ” Six months later I pitched to Enterprise Ireland but we were the last at the end of the day and frankly there was no energy in the room for what I was saying. I had printed the article and on my way out I put a copy in each of their hands saying, “Business and Finance magazine think we are a business to watch out for – I hope you do as well.” We got the funding! I know you will find Lucy sharp, well connected and someone who always follows through on what she is pursuing with you in mind. I was skeptical about PR before her but now I would not use anyone else.”

“Lucy is a talented professional who always puts the client first. An example of this professionalism was demonstrated when she managed our Exxcel Programme. Targeting Women Entrepreneurs, many of whom were working outside their comfort zone, Lucy took time to coach each of them on their journey.

Lucy’s support for the Rubicon was not just limited to Exxcel. Her skills provided inputs to the Rubicon team in the areas of Marketing and PR and to its clients, providing a practical approach to all who needed her help.”

“Lucy is a pleasure to work with, the epitome of professionalism and faultless in delivering on her commitments. She took the time to understand our business and our goals and devised a PR programme to match what exactly what Mojo For Leaders needed. She was able to educate us on what our roles were in creating and managing our own public profile and where she could step in to provide the extra exposure that would help us get our message to our target audience. She fully met her commitments to get us published in the relevant online and physical publications. I would have no hesitation in recommending Lucy O’Donoghue Consulting to anyone who needs to get their brand and message out there.”

“Lucy is a very passionate and professional person to work with. She has a beautiful way about her and she will go out of her way to help you achieve you goals. She gets to the core of what you are creating and her advice is invaluable. I would recommend Lucy as a fabulous mentor, she is always available to support and guide you. Thank you Lucy.”
