Background
Originally from Sligo, Sheila graduated with a Degree in European Business Studies from Coleraine University; she spent a number of years working in Paris and Budapest in marketing roles before returning to Ireland, working with a number of blue-chip firms including Irish Distillers, Masterfoods and Nestle. Sheila moved to the sunny south east in 2000 and has been at home there ever since!
A firm believer in continuous development and improvement, Sheila obtained an MBA from WIT in 2006, and a Diploma in Digital Marketing Management in recent years. Sheila acquired Márla Communications in 2008, when the agency focused primarily on traditional marketing solutions for the construction market; over the subsequent eight years, Márla expanded its market sectors to include food, tourism and professional service; the agency also began to move very steadily towards digital solutions. A journey that began some years ago has resulted in the agency being firmly established and growing considerably due to their success in achieving measurable and meaningful digital results.
