Galway sisters launch new company

TWO Galway sisters have started a new research-led social media agency and creative collective.

Hannah and Rachael Ryan launched RAYN Collective at the West x West – Tech, Venture and Culture Festival in Castlebar.

The company aims to assist businesses across Ireland to understand their customers to grow their brand and audience online. The Ryan sisters are looking to launch free marketing clinics for local businesses in November alongside a series of workshops and speaking events.

Rachael Ryan spent ten years in New York and worked as Head of Research and Insights at TikTok. Hannah Ryan has built up experience in influencer marketing and previously managed influencers with Andrea Roche at the AR Agency.

“I was lucky enough to work in New York, gaining years of global experience, and now I am incredibly excited to build something in the West of Ireland,” said Rachael Ryan.

“We grew up here. We’re Galway girls, and we love this place. We are thrilled to bring our experience home to support the businesses that make Galway such an incredible place to be,” commented Hannah Ryan.
