Allyson Paisley Joins DNA as Creative Director

Award-winning creative director Allyson Paisley has joined agency DNA in Seattle as a creative director. She will report to ECD Steve Williams and work in partnership with Noel Nickol across all the agency’s clients as well as new business.

Allyson joins DNA after working for two years at Laundry Service as a creative director.  Prior to that, she worked at Edelman Digital and Digitas North America, where she was part of the team that won Cannes, Clio, Effie, One Show and other awards for the Amex Small Business Saturday campaigns.

“Allyson brings not only a wealth of digital and social expertise, but also a knack for creating big, media-agnostic ideas and a passion for design and production craft that will help us go far,” noted Steve Williams, ECD at DNA. “She feeds off collaboration and leading teams and it showed the day she walked in our front door. We’re lucky to have her.”

As a creative director and art director, Allyson was part of the team that launched Home Runs for Hurricane Recovery, a T-Mobile partnership with Major League Baseball to help hurricane victims; a project for the Kind Foundation to expose and open up social media bubbles; and AMEX’s Passion Project, putting Amex financial support behind the ideas and projects of a new generation makers and creators. She has also worked on such brands as Samsung, Ticketmaster, Comcast, and Bacardi, among others.

“DNA has created an atmosphere that encourages collaboration, entrepreneurship, and supporting one another,” said Allyson.  “I’m excited to be a part of this incredible team, and I look forward to seeing all the great work we create together.”
