About Martin Murtagh
Martin Murtagh is the Founder of The Growth Network and The Growth Company, based in Newry and working with founders and SME leaders across Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK.
He is a relationship-led growth expert and community builder — combining hands-on fractional CMO work with a trusted, curated network of business owners across Newry, Belfast, Dundalk and Dublin.
Martin's focus is simple: help ambitious founders grow with clarity, confidence and the right people around them.
What Martin Does
- Fractional B2B CMO: senior marketing leadership for owner-led businesses without the full-time cost.
- Strategic marketing & positioning: sharper messaging and plans that align to commercial goals.
- Cross-border growth: practical support for teams selling across Ireland, NI and the UK.
- LinkedIn authority building: helping founders show up with a voice that earns trust.
- Curated networking & warm introductions: connecting members to the specific people who can help them grow.
- Executive coaching: a trusted sounding board for founders and senior leaders.
The Growth Network
Martin founded The Growth Network to create a safe, welcoming space where business people can meet, build genuine relationships, collaborate, support one another and do business.
It is a small, carefully curated community of founders, professionals and business leaders who value honest conversations, warm introductions and long-term relationships over transactional networking.
But it is also much more than networking. It is a community where good people get to know one another, opportunities grow naturally, and business is built on trust.
Through more than 50 carefully curated events across Newry, Belfast, Dundalk and Dublin, members have the opportunity to meet people who can support them, introduce them to the right contacts and help them take the next step in their business.
There is no pressure and no hard sell. Just good people, trusted relationships and opportunities that develop naturally over time.
The Growth Company
Alongside The Growth Network, Martin runs The Growth Company — a fractional B2B CMO practice sharpening positioning, leading marketing strategy and giving owner-led businesses senior marketing horsepower without a full-time hire.
The two are deeply connected: The Growth Company delivers the marketing craft, and The Growth Network delivers the relationships and events that accelerates that growth. Founders often work with Martin across both.
