Elly Williamson named in Women in PR's 40 Over 40 Powerlist

Elly has demonstrated strong new business success, leading teams to secure major retained clients and managing multiple M&A, activism, and crisis projects for high-profile organisations. With 20 years of experience, she creates tailored, strategic engagement plans that respond to each client’s specific needs, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach.

She is also a committed leader and mentor, offering both formal and informal support to early and mid-career colleagues. Drawing on her experience across three previous agencies, including navigating an acquisition and two closures. Elly brings valuable insight as her current organisation continues to evolve following its own recent acquisition.

Elly's key piece of advice for women facing ageism or misconception about older women at work was: 

“Always nurture your reputation for doing something that is valuable in your workplace particularly well – work to make your authority visible and known. If you take control of this to the greatest extent possible, it will be the source of your power and security. To do this, you must highlight when you achieve something impressive and overcome any excess of modesty.”
