Megan O'Shea

I am a strategic communications leader with over 10 years' experience in higher education, specialising in digital engagement, corporate communications and social media strategy. I have built and led high-performing teams, developed governance frameworks, and delivered data-led campaigns that boost audience growth and institutional reputation.

At the University of Warwick I lead institutional social media strategy, manage a community of hundreds of thousands of followers, and report regularly to executive boards and senior stakeholders on reputation risks and performance metrics. I have successfully project-managed high-profile events, overseen a major rebrand's digital engagement and launched internal platforms that improved knowledge-sharing for staff.

I am recognised for developing award-nominated research engagement series, driving significant campaign growth across university profiles, and coaching colleagues through recruitment and professional development programmes. I bring a collaborative, evidence-driven approach to communications and a proven record of improving engagement and organisational impact.
