Ryan Conway
Derby PR and communications agency, Nielsen McAllister, has pulled off the signing of the year by appointing recently published author Ryan Conway as a Senior Account Manager, to support its growing client base.
Holding a degree in Sports Journalism from the University of Huddersfield and recognised by the Football Black List in 2020 as one of the 30 best black sports journalists in the UK, Ryan has transferred his skills to the B2B PR world.
Ryan’s debut book, Pride Before the Fall, documents Derby County Football Club’s plight from the 2019 Championship playoff final to within a week of extinction and demonstrates his in-depth knowledge of both the Rams and the city of Derby.
These, alongside his award-winning journalism skills, will add plenty of dynamism, energy and ideas to the already outstanding talent at Nielsen McAllister. The agency was recently shortlisted in two categories at the prestigious Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) Pride Awards 2023.
“I’m overjoyed to be joining such an unmatched business as Nielsen McAllister,” said Ryan. “From the very first interview I felt part of the team, and I am thrilled to be working with them to help drive forward for even more success in the future.”
Bob Bushby, Nielsen McAllister’s Managing Director said: “We’re delighted to welcome Ryan to our team. His journalistic experience, energy and commitment to delivering results for clients make him a valuable addition to our team as we expand our services for our growing client portfolio.”
