About Sinead Murphy

20+ years building brands people believe in.

I spent two decades inside major Irish organisations, sitting at board level, owning the commercial outcome, and making decisions that had to work. I left a secure senior role because I wanted to bring that calibre of leadership to ambitious brands that need it but cannot justify a full-time hire. That is what fractional means in practice.

How I think about this work
A brand that has earned the right to be ambitious should not have to settle for a strategy deck and a debrief.

Most consultants hand over a document and leave. Most agencies pitch with senior people and deliver with juniors. I built my career doing the opposite: embedded, present, measured by what the numbers do, not what the slides say.

At Liffey Valley I worked at board level for ten years, driving strategy across retail, events, ESG and brand. Every decision had to deliver commercially. That direct accountability to results is the standard I bring to every engagement now.

AI in Marketing is part of the same philosophy. I build capability inside your team that changes how they work week to week. If it does not change the commercial output, it does not count.
