It’s been an amazing year for influencers in Ireland, from the beginning of Doireann Garrihy’s career to seeing Suzanne Jackson’s wedding literally break the internet – bloggers, Snapchatters and Instagram stars are more popular than ever.
Here at Goss.ie we have been supporting the best and brightest of the expanding digital world, and we continue to promote new talent and support the originals.
From newcomers in Ireland gaining rapid following on Instagram, to vloggers and bloggers killing it across the water, we’ve rounded up the most popular digital influencers of the year.
Take a look:
1. Suzanne Jackson
Topping our list once again, Suzanne Jackson is still arguably Ireland’s most well-known influencer.
This year she was named as Ireland’s leading blogger in the world by SERMO, and we saw the launch of new products across her SOSU by SJ range.
But the biggest milestone in Sue’s life this year was definitely her lavish wedding to Dylan O’Connor.
Their photos went viral online, not only being the subject of every whatsapp group, Instagram page and work lunch break – but landing her the cover of VIP magazine as well as full pages in several national newspapers.
This lady isn’t going anywhere…
2. Doireann Garrihy
New on our list, and landing in the second spot is the one and only Doireann Garrihy.
Ironically it was her videos taking off well-known influencers that made her so popular, and now we’re all following her for her own personality and day-to-day banter.
The younger sister of Aoibhinn Garrihy has also quickly become a style icon, and has gone on to win several awards over the last 12 months (including the Gossie for Best Snapchat Star of course).
She’s blown up over the last 12 months, and we can only see her getting bigger.
3. James Patrice
He is still absolutely adored on Snapchat, and now James Patrice is becoming a fully fledged TV star in his own right.
The Dubliner hosted a special online show for Dancing With The Stars with RTE and he tugged on the heart of the nation on Celebrity Operation Transformation.
