Alissa Khan-Whelan

Co-founder of Happy Yolk integrated social PR agency, born out of turning an image of an egg into the most liked picture on Instagram

Alissa Khan-Whelan is Head of Social and Influence at Happy Yolk, the social agency she co-founded after successfully campaigning to get a picture of an egg to become the most liked image on Instagram, and turning that into a mental health Super Bowl campaign.

Alissa speaks about the power of community and influence, delivering social media expertise to stand-out brands across the world, reaching millions, building brand value, driving sales, strengthening reputations and inspiring audiences.

Graduating from Central Saint Martins in 2015, Alissa's work has been recognised by prestigious award bodies from Cannes Lion to D&AD and a breadth of international publications from New York Times, TIME, BBC to Saturday Night Live.
