Success Stories - Growth and Outreach

David Connolly has been with Firefish for over 3 years – and having started in a completely new role as Growth Outreach Specialist in 2019, he helped shape it into what it is today!

David worked within his initial role for just a year before he got promoted to Senior Growth Specialist. He was so ambitious and eager to create a whole strategy for Firefish Outreach, that he simply couldn’t be overlooked! He proved that a great outreach strategy can not only improve the efficiency with which inbound leads are handled but also generate quality outbound leads – all during some of the toughest times for the industry!

In 2022, he got promoted to Growth Outreach Functional Lead and is now starting to build a team of his own Outreach Specialists, overseeing the development of that department.

David highlights how important the support of his colleagues and our Chief Fish, Wendy, was in his journey here – he says that Firefish created an incredibly supportive environment for growth, where it’s okay to try things and not always get them right.

Here's what our Head of Marketing, Campbell Nelson had to say about David's time at Firefish:

David’s journey (so far!) really has been amazing. From joining Firefish as our first Outreach hire back in 2019, he has pushed boundaries, challenged processes that weren’t generating results and has now taken ownership of the Outreach strategy after progressing to Functional Lead last year. Over and above his day-to-day Functional Lead role, David is continually contributing throughout the company, working cross functionally to accelerate both business and personal growth and accelerate his next stage of progression!

Our Fish can test the waters of different roles and grow in the way that is most suitable for them – because we understand that growth is unique for every individual we take their individual qualities, skills, and aspirations into consideration, instead of just pushing them through a funnel.

So, the question is – what will your story be?
