Her appointment to Managing Director is testament to her commitment, talent and clear-sighted leadership. In her new role, she will drive Clear B2B’s strategic vision and lead the agency into its next phase of growth and transformation.
 
With over two decades of industry experience, Ally is highly respected for her deep expertise in PR and media relations, as well as her ability to inspire teams and build lasting client relationships.

We have an exceptional team, a powerful track record in delivering results for global clients and a laser focus on the B2B sectors where we excel. I’m looking forward to a really exciting future.
 
In addition, Director Chris Wall will take on an expanded role, leading the agency’s creative output across all client work. With over 15 years’ experience delivering standout campaigns, Chris brings a deep understanding of how to blend strategic thinking with bold, imaginative execution. His new remit will see him working closely with teams across the agency to elevate creative standards, inspire fresh thinking, and ensure Clear B2B continues to deliver distinctive, award-winning work that drives real impact for clients.
 
Julie Clare, Chief Executive of Clear B2B, added: “I’m absolutely thrilled for Ally and Chris. Their dedication, professionalism and passion have made a huge impact to Clear over the years. Ally’s promotion is so well deserved, she’s the ideal person to lead the agency into its next phase. Clear B2B has grown into something very special – with passionate people and world-class clients – and I’m excited for what lies ahead.”
