Malory Knutson
Senior Account Executive
A communications strategist and public relations expert, Malory Knutson helps brands build visibility, credibility and relevance through thoughtful, results-driven PR programs. As a Senior Account Executive, she specializes in connecting with key audiences through earned media that elevates awareness and drives real impact.
Malory brings extensive agency-side experience supporting both B2B and B2C clients across industries, including professional services, technology, healthcare, wellness, hospitality, retail, nonprofit and real estate.

Prior to joining Aker Ink, Malory led communications programs at several agencies headquartered in Arizona and New York. From placing clients on stage at SXSW to securing coverage in top-tier outlets like The Wall Street Journal and CNBC to earning Fast Company awards and other accolades, her work has helped brands garner highly targeted recognition at the local, national and industry levels.

When she’s not pitching media or shaping stories, Malory leans into her creative and curious side — whether that’s crafting handmade projects, getting lost in a good book, hitting the trails with her two dogs or discovering Phoenix’s newest coffee shops and can’t-miss restaurants.
