The short-term replacement who's made herself irreplaceable

When Marian came on board in 2022, it was as a short-term maternity cover for one of our marketing team. But within a few short months, it was obvious to everybody that we were never going to let her go!

With a background in graphic design, digital media, and content creation, I brought essential skills to ifac, which the firm recognised as hugely-valuable once I joined.

My stamp can be found on pretty much every aspect of our visual identity, whether it’s content for our website, promotional or advertising material, reports or any of the hundred and one jobs within the company that needs to look professional and well-designed.

In effect, I am the keeper of the flame as far as our brand identity goes and ensure consistency and a recognisable look and feel to everything we produce for public consumption.

"I love the varied creative challenges that are thrown my way by the company, it really lets me flex my creative muscles on a daily basis.”

In the online world, video content rules the roost, and this is something that I have a real interest in, so it’s a marriage made in heaven. I also love the many and varied creative challenges that are thrown my way by the company, and it really lets me flex my creative muscles on a daily basis.

I am also a member our Green Team - a group of staff from all areas who are the driving force behind the company to make positive sustainable changes. Including designing the look and feel – and completing a micro-site for the initiative – I have a genuine passion for the cause of sustainability.

As I reflect on my experience at ifac, I can't help but emphasise the invaluable work-life balance and flexibility the company offers, especially for parents like myself. I am a Mum to two young boys, and really appreciate the flexibility that parents enjoy within the company. I’m normally in the office three days a week, but if I have to move things around, it’s absolutely no problem once the work gets done.

It’s nice to be trusted! When people are trusted they tend feel secure and do the best job possible. It’s one of the positive aspects of working for a company that really knows how to treat its people.
