Judges, colleagues and clients expressed admiration for Allyson Mariani’s leadership skills and business acumen.
“Allyson is a self-starter with big-picture understanding of how to reach intended audiences,” a judge said.
After earning a BS in marketing and communications from Penn State, Mariani worked for Susan G. Komen for the Cure and spent two years in sales. She has supported the AstraZeneca Oncology portfolio since joining Publicis Health Media sibling Digitas Health in 2011. Recent outstanding work includes developing the media plan and new digital media targeting opportunities for MyMBCStory, MedIummune’s program for metastatic breast cancer patients.
“Allyson is excellent in sizing up opportunities that have impact,” a MedImmue representative said.
Agency colleagues noted Mariani’s professional maturity was quickly evident, and she was excelling at client-facing work within her first year.
“Clients trust her wholeheartedly to make strategic decisions and budget allocations,” one colleague said. “Her ability to take very complicated topics and make them easily digestible…has directly impacted our bottom line.”
Internally, Mariani has initiated and developed department-wide processes, proactively identified and created cross-capability trainings, and trained and mentored entry-level employees.
