Marie Ryan is a Digital Marketing and AI Trainer who specialises in turning confused beginners into confident, capable marketers—usually within the first hour of a session. She teaches with UCD Professional Academy and delivers training for Local Enterprise Offices across Ireland, where she’s known for her clear frameworks, sharp insights, and ability to make even SEO feel oddly enjoyable.
Marie works across LinkedIn strategy, content marketing, email marketing, GA4, SEO, and practical AI tools for business. Her superpower is taking something that normally induces panic, like analytics, algorithms, or the phrase “ideal customer persona”, and breaking it into simple, logical steps that actually make sense.
Her teaching style is warm, structured, and just sarcastic enough to keep everyone awake. Participants regularly describe her sessions as “surprisingly fun,” “weirdly motivating,” and “exactly what I needed but never knew existed.”
She believes marketing is for everyone, and when taught well, it’s not just useful… It’s transformative.
Expertise
Marie has mentored hundreds of founders, professionals, and teams across sectors including tech, finance, retail, and manufacturing. Whether working with a first-time entrepreneur or a seasoned manager, her goal is the same: cut the fluff, explain what works, and leave people feeling energised, capable, and ready to take action.
