Bio
Bryn Gallagher
I worked with Mathieu for 4 years at Publicis on our national accounts. As a strategic creative, it was a huge pleasure to work with such a strong and forward-thinking strategic mind. Mathieu is extremely intelligent with such drive and love for the industry. He brought such extensive knowledge & data on industry and consumer behaviour that lead to such strong consumer insights and really pushed the creative to the next level. I learned so much from him. He is always open to explain (sometimes more than once) and collaborate which made every project with him just that much better. I can’t wait to see where your career path will take you Mathieu!
