I’m Hannah.

Hi, I am Hannah, co-founder & director of Part Three Digital equally with Jess Orr, business partner and best friend.

I don’t think I ever imagined I would own my own business. I have always been a take each day as it comes person and never really looked too far to the future. I always worked hard in whatever job I had and looked for ways to learn and be helpful which I believe is how I have got to this point. That’s not to say that I am not an ambitious person and once I start something I will always be looking for ways to better it and keep making it fun. This is a big part of my job at Part Three Digital.

I have had a pretty varied career in digital marketing to date - in house with jewellery brands, health trusts and even a stint at the circus followed by a specialised digital marketing agency which I told myself would only be a year max to tick a box and here I am today! The fast-paced nature of agency life meant you had to learn quickly and it was exactly the challenge I needed.

I always loved psychology and I think that is the part about digital marketing I like most. Why are people making their decisions online and what led them to do it. This naturally led me to specialise in copywriting and SEO for brands including Argento, Electric Ireland, [yellow tail] and Danone. In an ever-changing industry, I will always be learning and although my focus now is much more on managing the team and the business, I believe it is so important to stay up to date with the tools too.

I have always had a positive and optimistic attitude to life and work which I have brought to every team I have worked in but this was most important for me when managing a team. Again, not something I ever imagined doing but I had many amazing managers throughout my career who really inspired me and then encouraged me to manage others. I love teaching people new skills and watching them grow, giving them the encouragement and tools they need to thrive in their career.

Why I founded Part Three Digital.

Part Three Digital started as just a ‘what if’ and and over a series of weeks and months slowly became a reality. Jess and I definitely needed a push in the right direction from people who assured us we could do it even if we didn’t know everything about running a business. Even though I would describe myself as risk averse, I know when I need to mix things up and spending a lot of time between the same four walls during the pandemic was another major player in taking the leap! I also knew if I was going to do this journey with anyone it would be Jess, our strengths and weaknesses compliment each other so well which makes me feel confident we can conquer any challenge.

How I make a difference to Part Three Digital.

I am focused on nurturing our team and developing a group of specialists progressing on their career paths. I am naturally a problem solver and still love to stay up to scratch with all things digital so I can get stuck in to any project. I believe my positive and problem solving nature brings a calming energy to the Part Three Digital team.

Jess and I work together to manage the operations of the business ensuring we are on the right track.
