Work, Family Life and Everything In-Between

Tanya McDonald , Marketing Executive at IMGS & DataBuilders, discusses work, family life and everything in-between.

Can you describe your role at IMGS?

I hold the position of Marketing Executive at IMGS and DataBuilders, with key responsibility for branding, event management, marketing, budget management and sales support across both brands.

What do you love about your job?

I’d have to say the variety is what I enjoy most – no two days are ever the same.  Every day brings an opportunity to learn something new, which keeps things interesting.  On top of that, we have an amazing team that creates a positive and supportive work environment.

What would your perfect weekend look like?

Long walks, good food, a glass of wine in front of a roaring fire, trying out new recipes and cheering on my kids at the sidelines of their GAA games.

What movie genres interest you the most?

I’m a sucker for a rom com, you can’t beat them for the feel good factor.  I also enjoy World War II movies, 2 of my favourites are Saving Private Ryan and the Imitation Game.

If you could travel anywhere in the world where would you go and why?

I travelled a lot in my life so far, but one destination that remains on my bucket list is Hawaii, with its breathtaking scenery, rich culture, history and unique wildlife.

If you could do another job for just one day, what would it be?

Growing up I always wanted to be a primary school teacher; however my grasp of the Irish language was a barrier to entry unfortunately.  I think teaching is such an important profession because it allows you to shape young minds and inspire future generations.

What's something that you've always wanted to try or learn?

I would love to play a musical instrument, in particular piano as it’s such a beautiful instrument with a soothing sound.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be?

I've given this alot of thought, and I always come back to teleportation as the top choice. It would make daily life so much more convenient, with the added bonus of being able to travel anywhere in the world effortlessly - no more airports or long flights to deal with.
