Additional Hi Style Awards Recognition for Founder Ruth Mc Court
Alongside Smart Digital Marketing & PR Agency’s nomination, founder Ruth Mc Court is also celebrating two separate individual nominations at the Hi Style Awards 2026.
Through her fashion and personal styling platform, Fashion Truth by Ruth, Ruth has been nominated for Ireland’s Most Stylish Fashionista 2026 and Stylist of the Year 2026.
These individual nominations recognise Ruth’s involvement in fashion, styling, content creation and collaborations with Irish boutiques and retailers.
While the nominations are separate from Smart Digital’s recognition as a communications company, they highlight Ruth’s wider creative experience across the marketing, fashion and lifestyle industries.
Her work in both areas has provided opportunities to combine digital marketing expertise with fashion content creation, event hosting, styling and influencer collaborations.
For Ruth, receiving recognition across both her business and personal creative work makes the upcoming awards an especially exciting occasion.
