She possess expertise in digital marketing, marketing strategy, strategy, direct marketing, social media marketing and 25 more skills. Colleagues describe her as "Once you work with Shirley you'll instantly know that you've met one of the most talented, smart and "can-do" entrepreneur/manager/marketer/get-things-done people with whom you'll ever have the pleasure of working. I've had the good fortune of working with Shirley on a number of internet start-up projects and her ability to build and motivate a team, to take a business from concept to reality, and to successfully manage a seemingly impossible array of minor and major tasks is -- quite frankly -- astonishing. Once you've had the good fortune to watch Shirley work, you'll finally know what is meant by "the A team". When I grow up, I want to be Shirley." and "ENERGY, INNOVATION and SMARTS Shirley Bergin possesses all of these qualities in spades which is what makes her an outstanding business leader and entrepreneur. I first worked with Shirley when she was leading the iDirect team at Ryan Partnership and I was with start-up Emerging Interest. Shirley took a risk with EI and made us Ryan's defacto partner to vet all of potential technology partners in addition to giving us direct exposure to high profile clients, including Dove and Unilever...literally transforming our credibility as a start-up overnight. In the end, iDirect under Shirley's leadership was every bit as innovative as Emerging Interest was as a start-up. Shirley was continually looking for new ways to add value and give her clients a leading edge in the market...we had to run to keep up with her!! Since then, Shirley and I have both gone on to other ventures in the digital media space but have kept in close contact as colleagues: Shirley never ceases to amaze and inspire me. Recently, from within Walker Digital, Shirley launched "Cellphone Postcards" -- a product that already looks poised for great adoption and success. My dream is one day we'll work together...as anyone that has Shirley on their team is guaranteed to be unstoppable..!"
