In fact, she believes there are many untapped revenue opportunities for agencies.“As a client, I regularly experienced my agencies missing many of our strategic needs that would have resulted insignificant additional work.”

Sharon spent a good portion of her career leading account management and strategy at a number of agencies, including DDB, HL2 and Hornall Anderson Design. She was instrumental in leading client relationship training, organic growth and numerous new business pitches.Prior to joining Mirren, she led the brand marketing team at Holland America Line, a premium cruise line within Carnival Corporation–the world’s largest leisure travel company.
