Here's mine from the "about us" section on The Football Republic site...happy to answer any other questions tho! Andy is a publishing and advertising industry veteran of over 20 years with a career spanning time in Europe, America and for the last ten years Australia. In that time he has worked at some of the world’s leading publishing companies such as VNU, Ziff Davis & Haymarket Media. He is also, some would say more importantly, a 40 year football veteran as an Aston Villa-obsessed Brummie (he even has a dog called Aston), a former semi-professional player and now an AFC qualified coach of elite junior players. Six years ago he identified and seized the opportunity to merge his professional expertise and his life-long football passion to launch the FourFourTwo brand in Australia. Since then FourFourTwo has gone on to win six Publishers Australia Awards including an unprecedented clean sweep ‘hat trick’ in 2010 winning Best Integrated Brand, Web Site of the Year and the overall Publishing Excellence Award. Andy and his team have built FourFourTwo into a multi-media, multi-platform offering incorporating a monthly magazine and iPad edition, a web site, a weekly podcast, live events and a significant social media presence. An estimated 200,000 football fans now have around 5 million interactions per month with the FourFourTwo brand in Australia. Beyond the day to day running of FourFourTwo, Andy and his team have created numerous football content executions and marketing programs for some of the biggest names in the sport many of which can viewed on this site. Andy can provide a unique insight into the football industry in Australia from a vantage point at the heart of the game amidst the media, the fans, the players, the sponsors and the governing bodies. http://www.thefootballrepublic.com/who-to-contact/
