Overview

Company Summary

Hill Holliday’s vision is to be known as the best creatively-driven, modern agency in the country. We are proud to compete every day with the very best agencies in the world, and where we think we differ from our peers is that we don’t just speak eloquently about modern marketing; we have actually designed our critical agency structures and processes to deliver modern ideas and programs that perform. Our strategy and creative departments are structured to deliver on both the brand story and a brand experience. Our technology practice is guided by agile development principles, enabling us to work fast, with the notion of constant iteration and improvement embedded in our process. Our fully integrated media department doesn’t plan in silos, but is completely oriented on the way that people consume media. Our content department identifies and creates useful experiences that people actively choose to spend time with. Our analytics department isn’t a caboose, delivering wrap-up reports, but is a critical input at the beginning of, and throughout, our development cycle. We’re not just aware of the changed marketing landscape, we’re built to thrive in it, and to help our clients do the same.
