Ellyn Davidson, Partner, Managing Partner

Since joining Brogan & Partners in 1994, Ellyn has left big fingerprints all over the agency. Impressive from the beginning, she started in our media department where she quickly rose to Media Director. (She explored and led us to Shifflets and PRIZM.) Then, Ellyn moved into Account Management where her abilities and energy were rewarded with responsibilities for managing several of our most important clients.

She’s had extensive experience in new product and new program launches. An adept manager, Ellyn has a dazzling ability to oversee and coordinate teams on complex projects. And, of course, her media background serves our clients extremely well.

More recently, Ellyn was the Midwest Account Director for Ignite–a Brogan & Partners sister company that excels in Social Media. Ellyn’s enthusiasm and expertise for social media was born out of adversity. As a breast cancer survivor, Ellyn has used social media to do research–and stay in touch with friends and family. Currently, she posts to educate, advocate and fund raise.

Today, Ellyn brings her talents, experience and expertise together to focus on strategy, business development, morale, technology, and what’s next for Brogan & Partners and our clients.

Ellyn received a BBA in Marketing and Operations Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an International Business Specialization from the London School of Economics.

In her free time (Ha ha! Ellyn? Free time?) Ellyn is a Breast Cancer 3-Day Team Captain, Director of Ta-Ta Breast  Cancer, Outreach Coordinator for FORCE and a Breast Cancer speaker. She lives in Huntington Woods with her husband, Jon and their children.
