Marie Sheehy Promoted To EVP Corporate Communications For WME Group

WME Group has elevated longtime communications executive Marie Sheehy to EVP, Head of Corporate Communications. She oversees all communications strategy and operations for WME Group, which includes the WME talent agency, IMG Licensing and Pantheon Media Group, and serves as WME Group’s lead spokesperson.

Sheehy has been with the company for more than two decades. She originally joined the William Morris Agency in 2005. She transitioned to WME following the 2009 merger with Endeavor, one of several major transactions she has provided communication strategy for, along with WME’s acquisition of IMG and UFC, and most recently the transition to private ownership and formation of WME Group. She also helped launch Endeavor Content (now Fifth Season), overseeing corporate communications for the studio while it was owned by Endeavor.

For the past almost four years, since Endeavor’s Chief Communications Officer Christian Muirhead, with whom Sheehy has worked throughout her entire WMA/WME tenure to date, was named WME co-chairman in September 2022, she has been overseeing communications for Endeavor’s representation business (now WME Group) as SVP. Prior to that, she was SVP, Communications for WME.

“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,” WME Group Co-Chairmen Muirhead and Richard Weitz said. “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.
