WME Group has promoted Marie Sheehy to executive VP and chief communications officer, overseeing all communications strategy and operations for the company, which includes the WME talent agency, IMG Licensing and Pantheon Media Group.
Sheehy serves as WME Group’s lead spokesperson, while managing external, internal and executive communications for the firm.
The veteran comms exec has been with the company for more than two decades, joining what was then the William Morris agency in 2005, helping lead communications through its merger with Endeavor, the company’s transformative acquisitions of IMG and UFC, and last year the take-private by Silver Lake. Sheehy also led corporate communications for Endeavor Content (now called Fifth Season), helping to launch that studio.
“Marie has been instrumental to WME for two decades and has helped steer the reputations of our company and our clients through countless milestones and constant evolution,” said Christian Muirhead and Richard Weitz, co-chairmen of WME Group, in a statement. “Her strategic counsel, steady leadership, and trusted relationships across the media and entertainment industries have made her an invaluable partner as we position WME Group as the premier destination for talent representation.”
Sheehy is a member of USC Annenberg’s Center for Public Relations Board of Advisors and serves as a mentor in The Hollywood Reporter’s Women in Entertainment program.
