Ogden, Utah – April 14, 2022 – MarketStar, the global leader in outsourced sales and B2B revenue acceleration, has secured a location for their EMEA headquarters in Dublin's Central Park business district. The company plans to create up to 300 new jobs over the next 3 years, bringing its Dublin-based team to 500 people by 2025. The commitment to this larger presence in Dublin further strengthens MarketStar's international capabilities and delivery model built for clients that are focused on growth and scaling globally.
Founded in 1988, MarketStar now employs more than 1,750 employees worldwide, with its global headquarters in Ogden, Utah U.S.A. In 2019, MarketStar acquired Product2Market, a leading Irish inside sales and sales development agency based in Dublin. The expansion of the European headquarters in Dublin, following the integration of Product2Market, has positioned MarketStar as a strong global leader in sales and revenue acceleration, and a business destination for Dublin’s talented workforce. At the time of the P2M acquisition, there were 100 employees in Dublin. Since that time, MarketStar has doubled the number of jobs and revenue based in Dublin. The company joins world-leading brands like Salesforce, Bank of America, Mastercard, and others in Dublin’s Central Park community, which also includes apartments, retail space, dining, and lodging.

MarketStar is a global leader in its field, and this new HQ will provide a great platform to highlight our highly skilled workforce to the world. I wish the team every success with their new Dublin office.”
