LOUISE Media Coordinator

Louise (nicknamed Loobey) is an indispensable part of team Luan. The angels sent her to us! It happened when Louise invited Luan onto a radio show she was anchoring in 2007 and we haven’t looked back since. Louise (from Co. Kildare) is involved in every nook and cranny of the media in Ireland. She is at times a journalist, radio presenter and radio researcher all of which she excels at. Her passions are music, & sport. Despite her youth, Louise knows and is known to almost EVERYBODY in Irish media circles. As importantly she is loved by all of them. There has never been a bad word said about this wonderful girl. Louise has an infectious bubbly personality and a wonderful zest for life. If you are feeling low or a bit negative, 5 minutes with Louise will change all that. Lurking behind that wonderful personality is bundles of intelligence and people skills. She also has huge energy, which is definitely required in team Luan!Notwithstanding her work in press and radio Louise also has a natural flare for PR and has played a very key part in the success of “Ghost”, Luan’s biggest hit to date. Watch out for this young lady. She has a very bright future. We would certainly recommend her to anybody who needs a bright, positive thinking, honest, knowledgeable, go getting and well connected agent. And of course we couldn’t finish with saying: “Thanks Louise, We love you!!!”
