A Mayo entrepreneur has announced the sale of his business Fabric Social, a social first creative company, for an undisclosed sum.<\/p>\n

Niall McGarry, a native of Moneen, Castlebar, today confirmed that one of the world\u2019s biggest advertising and marketing groups, France-based Publicis Groupe, is taking over his operation to create a new PR, social and influence agency.<\/p>\n

Revealing the news on his Facebook page, he stated: “Wow! What can I say.<\/p>\n

“When the world\u2019s biggest advertising and marketing group comes knocking on your door, it\u2019s hard to say no.<\/p>\n

“I am beyond proud to announce that Fabric Social has been fully acquired by the 100,000 plus people, global institution Publicis Groupe.<\/p>\n

“To sit alongside the advertising household names such as Saatchi & Saatchi and Leo Burnetts is truly mind blowing!<\/p>\n

“A massive thanks to my incredible wife Sarah Maria and son Max for their unwavering support.”<\/p>\n

McGarry was the brains behind JOE.ie in 2010, providing an online outlet for Irish males with an interest in areas like sport, tech, entertainment, motors and fashion.<\/p>\n

He also created Her.ie, a site that catered for Irish women and achieved almost instant success, already attracting an audience of over 2.2 million unique visitors each month.<\/p>\n

In July 2020 Joe.ie was bought by an investment fund, Greencastle Capital.<\/p>\n

Niall subsequently established Social Fabric which became very successful in recent years.<\/p>\n
