Shawn Felty
President & Creative Director
Well-skilled in both presentation and production, President and Creative Director Shawn Felty brings over 18 years of traditional and interactive agency experience to Sire Advertising. A well-rounded creative leader with a strong eye for design and a knack for creative marketing solutions, Felty’s experience in all realms of the advertising business makes him Sire Advertising’s ideal front man. In addition to overseeing regular business operations, his day-to-day responsibilities include new business development and account management. Although a portion of his time is dedicated to his administrative duties, Felty’s heart is in the creative aspects of the business. His background in design is the driving force behind his enthusiasm for the creative process. Always up for a group brainstorming session, Felty enjoys his role as art director and any other opportunity to keep the creative juices flowing.
Away from the office, Shawn enjoys coaching his son's soccer, basketball, and little league teams while trying to squeeze in a twilight round of golf with his kids or a board meeting. Although he’s often working his way out from under a pile of job jackets at the office, Shawn always finds time for his children and lends a hand with a variety of community-oriented initiatives. Shawn lives in Selinsgrove with his son Mikey and daughter Lexi.
