Founder & CEO, Small Girls PR (an Orchestra company)

Mallory Blair is the CEO and Co-founder of Small Girls PR, an agency she bootstrapped out of college into a bi-coastal firm powered by 75+ (admittedly taller) strategists. The company was recently acquired by the Orchestra network in one of the largest independent PR agency exits by a female founder.

Small Girls PR works with clients ranging from high-growth startups like Billie, Taskrabbit, and StubHub to global brands including Instagram, KFC, and Olay, partnering on stunt creation, influencer marketing, brand communications, and experiential activations. Mallory and her team are known for campaigns that break into culture—earning their own Wikipedia entries, appearing as answers in The New York Times crossword puzzle, and regularly trending across social media.

Mallory has been recognized on Inc.’s Female Founders 500, Forbes 30 Under 30, Observer’s Best PR Professionals in America, Business Insider’s Top 50 PR Pros, and PRWeek’s 40 Under 40, and has been featured on ABC News and The Today Show as a workplace innovator. She is chronically online at @yourpalmal.
