Let's meet the Team!
James Hamel-Smith
Yea your boss is a go-getter and all, but do they run a whole Trini based company from Australia?
We didn't think so! Say hi to James everyone ๐๐ฝ Connect Media Agency Director. When he's not killing it from the Aussie timezone (thank you Zoom and chocolate covered espresso beans) he's an avid surfer and a loving Dad to two kiddos. Catch him online at 4:00 am Australia time or schedule a catch-up during one of his frequent visits back to his homeland, but one thing's for sure: James keeps us all connected ๐ช๐ฝ
Arielle Du Quesnay
Introducing someone who thrives behind the scenes AND in the great outdoors: our Creative Director Arielle!
When Ari's not bringing Connect's wild ideas to life, she's working on her passion project: ROAM, making the beauty of the islands accessible to everyone!
Aside from her weekday hustles, you can catch her wakeboarding, jet skiing, chasing waterfalls or simply lazing on the beach each and every weekend ๐
Megan Gomez
Meet Megan!
The creative mind behind our client's social media feeds ๐ป She's so good in fact, we asked her to finish this blurb about herself:
"Iโm a HUGE horror movie fan, the crazier and bloodier the better. I enjoy learning Japanese. ใฏใใใพใใฆ! Iโve never met a dog I didnโt love. In a nutshell, Iโm an INFJ-Gemini, so we can definitely talk about how much you hate your ex but I will need 3 Business Days to recharge after."
Danielle Williams
Say HI to Danielle!
Our resident Ad Strategist, the way to her heart is through beautiful data visualisations and optimising for the best cost per result ๐
When she's not boosting content for our clients, you can find Danielle singing opera ๐ถ(no, really, she's classically trained).
She thinks Verdiโs Requiem could be the most beautiful piece of music ever written โจ and everyone needs to go listen to it...๐
Israel Ramjohn
Ladies and Gentleman, our lead videographer Israel!
With his keen eye for detail and natural storytelling prowess, this guy is a driving force behind our client's compelling and impactful video content ๐น
When he's not capturing stunning footage or piecing together seamless edits, Israel brings the same level of passion and creativity to the kitchen, whipping up some of the BEST ramen in T&T ๐ ( and that's not just us being biassed)
