Meet The Team
We believe that the best marketer, is the end consumer.
That’s why we focus on the niche we know inside out and back to front; health and wellness. Our entire team are passionate about this industry… from CrossFitters to sea swimmers, and from yogis to bodybuilders, we’ve got the lot!
So when it comes to engaging with the health and wellness category consumer, we’re pretty good at it.
Because each and every one of us, is one of them.
Jessica Nolan
- Founder & Chief Disruptor
With a profound passion for building brands, Jessica started her first marketing agency at the age of 24. Also specialising in the health and wellness niche, it had an exclusive focus on experiential marketing (in-store activations and larger scale events). As time went on, and consumer attention was more and more focused on phone screens and laptops, Jess’s attention moved to answering the question ‘how can we really connect with people there as well?’
After a brief stint as marketing executive for WellFest (stupid Covid) Jess decided to bring back Elite Brand Experience, with a new name, and a digital-first focus. And so, The Disruptors Agency was born.
When she’s not building brands, Jess can usually be found at Perpetua Fitness. A qualified personal trainer, former bikini athlete and rower, and newbie CrossFitter, Jess has a SLIGHT competitive edge and loves to push herself to the limit, both in the gym and in business.
Roisín Ryan
- Social Media Manager
An avid sailor, with an eye for aesthetics, Roisín was the very first recruit to our team! Roisín specialises in content creation (copywriting & visual design) and also has extensive experience in Shopify store development.
Roisin built her own Shopify store and developed a STUNNING brand, for the craic, during lockdown. Because, you know, banana bread was just not enough of a challenge.
(Check it out here and make sure to follow their Insta!)
And when she’s not making us swoon over jaw-dropping imagery, Roisín loves to travel and can usually be found somewhere close to the sea!
Paul McCabe
- Social Media Manager
‘The moustached marketer’, they call him. Our very own Mr Baywatch. Paul is one of ‘those people’ who regularly swims in the sea at the crack of dawn and is a bundle of positivity and productivity as a result.
We try not to hate him for it.
With an Msc in Digital Marketing, Paul is officially the most qualified member of our team to actually do what we do. (He should probably be the boss. But don’t go giving him ideas).
Paul has also recently launched his very own ecommerce brand - Papi - And we can’t WAIT to see what’s coming next! For an example of Paul’s style of creativity and SHARP AF aesthetic - Check out Papi on Insta!
Lisa Downey
- Project Manager - The Disruptors
If you look up the term ‘go-getter’ in the dictionary, you’ll find a photo of Lisa’s face.
Lisa is an enigma: She is the most driven, ambitious and hard-working of the lot of us, and yet she is also the one who is the best at practicing meditation, mindfulness and breathwork. (There is a lesson in there somewhere, probably).
She also is in the process of getting her ‘psychological first aid’ qualification… So that’ll be handy for when the rest of us have our meltdowns.
In her spare time (which is scarce as she works so flipping hard), Lisa can be found hill walking, working on self development, meditating or listening to Gary Vee’s podcast.
Alan Roche
- Photographer
Alan is an OG. He has been part of the team since before the team existed. (we know - that’s deep).
Alan has created some INCREDIBLE content for our clients… From shooting on location in tropical spots such as the top of Killiney Hill, all the way to creating a makeshift gym for a shoot in Jess’s car park (during those 5km lockdown restrictions) - Alan is one of the best in the business and we are very proud to have him on our team.
We REALLY wanted to share a pic of Alan’s incredible fitness journey on here - But then we decided it’s not really the place. So let’s just say…. When it comes to hard work and dedication in the gym… NOBODY comes close to what this man has accomplished!
(TBF he should definitely be the one in front of the camera. But none of the rest of us know how to work it so…)
