Ollie Shires

Manager - Commercial Partnerships, Sky

‘Having joined Sky Media in 2016, my career has taken me from the TV spot world all the way through to the fast-paced environment of commercial partnerships. I’ve been fortunate enough to have worked on a number of campaigns with some fantastic clients and agencies across Sky Media’s channels - whether that’s been a sponsorship on Sky Sports or making a TV show on Channel 5. In my spare time I’m a big Rugby fan and at the age of 32 I was an early adopter of the stereotypical mid-life crisis stage of becoming an obsessive road cyclist (with all the gear).

Having studied Geography at University I honestly have no idea how I’ve ended up in the media industry, but I do feel really lucky to have done so because it’s a world I never knew existed!’
