The Empower team continues to grow!

2024 has been a year of new joiners at Empower. In the last six months we’ve welcomed Roxanna, Ella and Luke as Account Executives, Angharad as Account Director, and now to finish up the year, Andrew and Faye have joined the team as an Account Manager and Paid Media Executive respectively.

A successful year of client campaigns and partnerships, as well as deepening service focus across strategy, audits, paid and creative, means that our team must expand to support further great work.

Learn more about our wonderful new colleagues below:

New joiner: Andrew Mallinson

With over a decade of marketing experience, Andrew joined Empower as an Account Manager in September 2024. He is passionate about campaigns that drive change, and enjoys supporting purpose-led organisations to develop their digital strategies.

We spoke to Andrew about his experience at Empower so far, and what he’s most excited about as his time here progresses:

“I’m really excited to join Empower and utilise my experience from the charitable sector in an agency based role. The whole team has been so supportive and welcoming to me and I’m looking forward to being part of an organisation that makes a huge impact.”

New joiner: Faye Roberts

Faye brings two years of experience in the media industry, where she developed a strong interest in strategy and innovation. She specialises in developing and executing data-driven media campaigns that drive results. 

We asked Faye about her experience of joining Empower and what she’s most looking forward to:

“I am so excited to start my new role as Paid Media Executive at Empower. The team has been so welcoming during the onboarding process, and I look forward to working across purpose-led campaigns that have a positive impact.”

New joiner: Angharad Francis

Having joined Empower in May 2024 as an Account Director, Angharad strategically leads accounts and supports her teams to deliver high-quality client servicing. She has over seven years of experience working with charities, non-profits and purpose-led organisations, as well as global and national brands. We asked Angharad what it has been like since joining Empower:

“It’s been great to hit the ground running at Empower, bringing my expertise from the last eight years working with global brands and charities to non-profit organisations supported by Empower, who are making real life impact on a daily basis. I’m loving every minute thanks to my wonderful Empower colleagues who have been so welcoming and supportive!”

Luke Williams, Account Executive

Luke has held several different communications roles over the past six years, almost exclusively within the charity/nonprofit sector. He enjoys flexing his creative writing muscles across different mediums, including social media and blogs. He made the conscious decision at the start of his comms career to move away from corporate environments, enabling him to take on work that focuses more on making a meaningful change beyond the office walls.

On joining Empower earlier this year, Luke said:

“Working in an agency environment for the first time has been very exciting. Knowing that the clients we work with share our progressive values has made this learning journey all the better! I’ve felt incredibly supported by my colleagues here at Empower, and less than a year in I can already feel my skill set and confidence growing.”

Ella Ticktin-Smith, Account Executive

Ella joined Empower in March 2024, bringing a range of professional and voluntary experience across communications, campaigning, and policy. She is committed to creating campaigns that cut to the heart of social issues and inspire real-world action.

Ella particularly enjoys leveraging audience insights and digital trends to deliver impactful and exciting work for clients, combining her interest in both the ‘creative’ and the ‘strategy’.

On joining Empower, she said:

“It’s a privilege to be able to develop my strategic communications skills in such a supportive, people-oriented workplace. I’ve already learnt a lot from my colleagues and I love that Empower’s values-led approach guides its employees’ day-to-day experiences as much as our client work.”

Welcome to the team, Ella, Luke, Angharad, Andrew and Faye!
