Niall McGarry

Niall McGarry (born March 6, 1980 in Castlebar, Mayo) is an entrepreneur and the owner and founder of Joe.ie and Her.ie, male and female-focused websites in Ireland. Both websites fall under the banner of Maximum Media, the umbrella company founded by McGarry, who owns and runs both sites.[1][2][3][4][5]

McGarry attended St. Gerald's College in Castlebar, Mayo.[6] He then studied at Limerick Institute of Technology with rugby union player Jerry Flannery who owns 18 percent of Maximum Media.[7] After graduating in 2002 with a degree in Marketing Management, McGarry worked for just over a year in advertising sales for a newspaper in Galway City. There, he established Impact Media in 2003. The company grew and represented clients including Supermacs, Eircom and Radisson Hotels. Having grown the company to a 20-strong workforce, McGarry sold this business to Cork company H+A Marketing+PR in 2011. McGarry originally created JOE.ie in 2010, providing an online outlet for Irish males with an interest in areas like sport, tech, entertainment, motors and fashion. The site now attracts 3.1 million unique visitors a month. McGarry created Her.ie, a site that caters for Irish women in July 2012 and has achieved almost instant success, already attracting an audience of over 2.2 million unique visitors each month.
