Tim began his career as a Business Development Manager at DeHavilland, where he helped policy makers and lobbyists stay informed about parliamentary proceedings and policy influence.

Tim then moved on to become the Commercial Director at Adfero, where he managed Sales, Account Management, and Product Development Teams while overseeing the overall revenue growth of the Newsmanager product. Following that, he served as the VP Global Business Development at Media Measurement Ltd, where he opened the US office in San Francisco, expanding the company's global client base and its media evaluation products across social media.

Next, Tim joined Metrica as a Business Development Director, contributing to the company's media analysis, PR measurement, and PR planning consultancy services. He assisted organizations in Europe and the Americas in interpreting and acting upon social media data.

Tim returned to London and joined Onalytica as a Commercial Director, working on Influencer Relationship Management software and professional services. His responsibilities included helping brands run influencer programs to increase brand awareness and reputation.

Currently, Tim serves as the CEO of Onalytica, a position he has held since May 2014. In this role, he aggressively grew the business and aimed to establish a global market-leading position in B2B Influencer Marketing. His responsibilities encompass communicating the company's vision, raising funding, building relationships with clients and industry influencers, developing B2B Influencer Marketing and Employee Advocacy categories, managing the Senior Leadership Team, and leading the GTM strategy, product vision, and company culture. Under his leadership, Onalytica has become a prominent player in the field of influencer marketing, with a focus on B2B Influencer Marketing and Employee Advocacy.

Tim Williams envisions a world where influencer marketing becomes a powerful tool for reaching the C-suite in the realm of B2B marketing. He recognizes that despite the prevalence of C-suite executives on social media platforms, there is still skepticism about the effectiveness of influencer marketing when the entire target audience may not be active on these channels. To address this, Tim emphasizes the importance of understanding how various social media networks function to influence key decision-makers.

In his vision, Tim highlights the strategy of creating compelling content, such as podcasts, interactive eBooks, or video interviews, in collaboration with influencers. This content serves as a bridge to reach the C-suite. By leveraging influencers' well-integrated networks, brands can ensure that their content is widely shared through platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter. This, in turn, leads to the broader influencer community disseminating the content to middle managers, who can then share it with the C-suite within their respective organizations. Tim's vision revolves around the idea that crafting the right content with the right influencers on pertinent topics can effectively target and influence the C-suite through influencer marketing, ultimately driving business success.
