Alex Williams

Account Director

What brought you into the agency?

After working for nearly three years in entertainment publicity, I was ready for a change. I wanted to work somewhere where I wasn’t just siloed into PR or events, but where I could work across different projects and learn something new every day. So, after two months backpacking across Europe (like every person in their early 20s), I interviewed for an Account Executive position, and haven’t looked back!

What’s your workplace superpower?

Project management and thinking ahead. I like to have my hands around everything in a project, make sure it’s running on time and everyone knows their deadlines, and that I’m always looking forward, asking myself what could go wrong, are there any barriers or challenges we haven’t thought of? I like to always be one step ahead and well prepared!

What do you love most about your job?

That I’m constantly learning, and continually growing from this learning. I think back to three years ago, and there are so many things I would never have been capable of, and now do every day.

What’s the most useful piece of advice you could pass on?

Always be prepared!

What do you do when you’re not on the job?

At weekends you’ll usually find me walking my dogs, out with friends, and playing soccer.

I also love reading, whether that’s a good book, keeping abreast of the latest news, or celebrity gossip and movie trivia (I know, it’s a guilty pleasure).
