Sheila Trinley

Ask Sheila what her favorite childhood pastime was and she’ll tell you it was memorizing television commercials and acting them out on her living room “stage” for family and friends. So, it’s no surprise that she chose marketing as her career path.

This native Chicagoan has a deep history in the business. She’s worked the gamut of agencies from mom & pop to the big ones including FCB/Draft, Upshot and Publicis on brands like Coca Cola, NFL, Target, CVS, and the American Dairy Association. She’s even spent time on the client side at Ace Hardware and in the non-profit world for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

The combination of her brand storytelling, visual thinking, and ability to concept at the drop of a hat is what sets her apart. Proud Career Moments include: Being one of the creative leads for Lincoln Park Zoo’s First Annual Zoo Lights Festival. BTW: It’s still lighting up Chicago’s holidays to this day. Senior Creative on Target’s multimillion-dollar Restoration of the Washington Monument and inventing a new form of retail signage at her second job out of college.

What does Sheila love most about being a part of the Hangar12 family? The ability to work within a true 360-degree marketing platform from concept through execution in both a trade and consumer-facing capacity, something she believes is often talked about, but rarely walked about.
