Allie brings five years of agency client leadership to SMAKK. Most recently she was at Digitas North America in Chicago, where she grew from Senior Associate to Account Manager. Before that, she started her career at Chicago’s 50,000feet as an Account Coordinator and then Senior Account Coordinator.

At SMAKK, Allie leads client growth and partnerships. She builds relationships with the beauty, wellness and CPG brands we work with, and makes sure every engagement starts with a clear picture of where the brand wants to go and how we’ll get it there.

A writer and community builder at heart, Allie spent three years as a staff writer for These Days magazine and volunteers with AIGA Chicago. She graduated cum laude from Boston University’s College of Communication, with an emphasis in advertising and a concentration in sociology. She is now completing a master’s degree in Creative Business Leadership at the Savannah College of Art and Design. She cares deeply about how creativity builds community, and she leads with empathy, kindness and humor.
