One of Allyson Conklin’s employees wrote us, describing her PR entrepreneur boss as: “ … an inspiration to every E! News-watching, glossy magazine-reading young professional who wonders how they can have a career they love and look forward to every day.” We’d have to agree.
Allyson started her career started with an internship with Footwear News and Women's Wear Daily. Her first job was at W Magazine and she went on to handle PR at Shiseido, Cle de Peau Beaute and Zirh beauty brands before moving back out west in 2007 to manage PR at a luxury lifestyle company. At age 28, Allyson moved back to Colorado and started her own business, a boutique PR agency that represents clients in the beauty, home and design, lifestyle, and gourmet food categories.
“Over the past two-and-a-half years, the business has continually evolved and become more and more ‘me,’” Allyson says. “From shaping business values and creating a brand identity that’s representative of my personal style to cultivating a list of clients I’m passionate about, my job has readily become more than just the perfect fit—it’s something I can’t imagine not doing.”
