Allyson Roberts
Laura Bishop Communications
President
Allyson joined Laura Bishop Communications in 2017 and has since taken on increased responsibilities to match the firm’s growth. Her approach as a communications consultant starts with listening; she leaves assumptions at the door. This ensures each client receives a customized approach to meet their goals.
Nothing is cookie-cutter at LBC. That is a standard Allyson has helped set.
Allyson has an innate ability to find opportunities often overlooked, and to bring fresh perspective to a repeat event. She so impressed one client that a short-term project evolved into an annual contract. In fact, that client and others often call Allyson for a weekly chat, knowing the conversation will lead to even more actionable ideas. They say that even hearing Allyson’s voice helps them relax – especially during media prep or issue and crisis management.
Allyson’s reassuring confidence and even-keeled attitude make her the glass-half-full type, as do her signature phrases, “These are good challenges to have” and “We got this!”
Before joining LBC, Allyson spent more than 10 years in the Office of University Relations at Widener University, where she supported internal communications and led public relations efforts for designated colleges and programs. She also has previous PR agency experience. This, combined with being a mother of three young children, has made her an expert multitasker who can seamlessly move from one project to another. Those skills come in handy as she supports clients across various industries. She sticks to deadlines and remains organized, which both her clients and colleagues appreciate!
Allyson is a proud alumna of the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, where she earned a bachelor’s degree in public relations. She also earned a master’s degree in corporate communications from Rowan University.
