Ellen Malloy
Owner, Restaurant Intelligence Agency and Spoonfeed
She was one of the most, if not the most successful food PR folks in all of Chicago and then she reinvented herself. She realized that with media shrinking, it was better to be a content producer than a cajoler to content producers. It remains to be seen whether her social media and content production approach to promoting clients will take over the world, but when someone in food needs something, a job, a smart opinion or a hook-up of some sort, she’s usually the first phone call people make.
