With a history of taking stories from their initial concept all the way through to the final product, Ruairí Tobin is no stranger to a challenge. This has been clear since he joined the team here at Brafton. But, how did it all begin for this marketing professional? We spoke with Ruairí to hear more about what brought him here and what his time at the company has been like so far.
Ruairí From Scratch
When it comes to the life of videographer, Ruairí Tobin, at Brafton, this story starts a little further than you might think — across the pond at Dublin Institute of Technology (now Technological University Dublin). His time in Ireland awarded him a bachelor’s degree in Film & Broadcasting, which “very few employers cared about once I moved to the States,” he tells us.
Luckily, his skills have done the talking for him over the years.
Starting a Career in the States
As Ruairí stepped into the professional world, he explained his life, in a nutshell, like this: “20% freelance, 20% bartending, 60% despair.” If you’re a creative professional yourself, there’s a good chance you’ve done this math before. But fast forward a few years, and that’s when Ruairí turned in his freelance life for a full-time career as a videographer at Brafton.
How’d he find his way to the team? Simply put, through the power of Linkedin.
After almost 2 full years at the company, he tells us, “it’s been great.” He continued on to explain, “This is the first fully remote job I’ve had in my career, and I really enjoy the work-life balance that it affords — and the fast-paced nature of the work which means no two days are the same.”
A true storyteller at heart, Ruairí has always enjoyed the unique experiences that this kind of career and marketing work can offer. He tells us, “As a videographer, I’ve gotten to film with some wonderful people, and have gotten to visit places I hadn’t had the chance to before.”…
