About The Company
Web Journey is a digital marketing consulting firm specialising in inbound marketing and sales, content creation, websites, and graphic design, and they are also a HubSpot Solutions Partner.
The company is founded by Sinéad O’ Driscoll, who started her journey as a software developer in global financial services companies. She was a Software Development Manager for 20 years and during this time, she loved working on User Experience. This is closely aligned with marketing and encouraged Sinéad to complete a digital marketing diploma along with other marketing and graphic design courses at the same time as having a job.
Learning these new skills while working gave Sinead the confidence to eventually set up her own business.
Why start your own business?
-
Sinead wanted better work/life balance, more variety in her work, and not to be limited to one industry. Sinéad loves the flexibility and the challenge of running her own business.
-
“Life’s too short to be spending 4 hours a day commuting. And yes, you still have to work long hours as a startup but it’s different when it’s your own and you’re passionate about it – it doesn’t feel like work!”
-
“I’ve made many mistakes, but I’ve always learned from them and they’ve made me better. Fail fast – learn fast.”
-
“From my own experience, the best advice I can give other founders, particularly ones with no sales background, is to not underestimate sales and the value of putting a solid sales process in place at the start that can scale as the company does.”
