Lee Kanavagh

I am the Founder and Managing Director of BrandYou Creative Agency, a pioneering branding and marketing firm based in Dublin. With over two decades of experience in business development, sales, and marketing, I has a proven track record of transforming ideas into thriving businesses.

I began his entrepreneurial journey in 2001 with the establishment of Body Glow, a beauty and tanning salon where he also served as the main distributor for Emarni makeup and Ecogenics skincare products in Ireland. Under my leadership, the business grew from an initial turnover of £60,000 to €380,000 by 2007, expanding distribution to over 34 salons in the UK.

In 2007, I founded Lee Kavanagh & Associates, offering a range of online and offline business development solutions. My expertise in website development, SEO, and video marketing quickly garnered me a diverse clientele across the South East of Ireland and Dublin. Over the years, I managed more than 300 clients, completing over 10,000 projects. Notably, I secured a significant contract with Irish Fire Flood Restoration, outmaneuvering major competitors like Golden Pages.

My success in business development continued when I took on the role of Territory Sales Manager at Irish Independent Directory, where I excelled in selling advertising space. I consistently met and exceeded sales targets, earning promotions and recognition as one of the top achievers within the company.

Recognizing the growing importance of branding in the digital age, I founded BrandYou Creative Agency in 2009. Under my leadership, BrandYou has become a market leader in branding and marketing services. My agency offers comprehensive solutions, from concept development to final product delivery, helping businesses enhance their brand identity and reach their target audience effectively.

My passion for continuous learning is evident in his commitment to attending refresher courses in sales and marketing, as well as his interest in life and business coaching. My ability to adapt to new challenges and provide tailored solutions for his clients has been a cornerstone of his success.

Outside of work, I enjoys horse riding, swimming, and exploring world cuisines. I am also a member of various clubs, including combinative arts and kickboxing.
