Meet Eileen Bennett, International Ambassador ~ Ireland
Eileen Bennett is the world’s first – possibly only – virtual Mammy! Her website Ask Mammy was created to fill the gap left by the erosion of traditional communities in our modern society.
She is founder and former MD and Group Editor of the regional, glossy, lifestyle magazines, GALWAYnow and CORKnow. In that role she brought both titles from relative obscurity to must-read status in their target markets.
In 2005 she sold her shares in the company to focus on pursuing her passion and developing a unique niche in the personal development market. Her efforts culminated in the establishment of critically acclaimed website and online community http://www.askmammy.ie.
