Belfast Copywriter Tall Paul ‘delighted to be a finalist’.
A delighted Paul Malone comments, “It’s hard to believe that I quit a secure, full-time job in July 2020 during the first lockdown to concentrate on Tall Paul Marketing full-time.

Paul continues, “I’d just like to say a huge thank-you to every single one of my clients for placing their trust in me with website content, blog content, copywriting and marketing material over the past year.
“Tall Paul Marketing wouldn’t have been so successful if it weren’t for all of you trusting me.”
Great pride at shortlisting news.
“I feel great pride in being shortlisted for these awards, and I’m excited now for the big night at the awards.
“With Covid causing so much disruption over the last year or two, it’ll be great to get dressed up and attend an in-person event.
“I’ll be in great company in both categories; the others who have been shortlisted are a great example of local businesses adapting to a challenging period.
“Personally speaking, being able to work at something I love every day is a privilege, and I’ve met so many incredible people with such unique stories,” he adds.
