H/L Agency Expands Creative Team with 9 New Hires
Independent ad agency H/L has announced the expansion of its creative team to include nine new hires. This development arrives amid a fluctuating industry environment, which H/L has navigated through strategic hires to support business growth.
By leading Fortune 500 campaigns such as a partnership with San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy for Toyota’s NFL campaign, H/L has become a leader in delivering ROI on creative through multicultural, analytics-driven insights. To that end, they received a Silver Effie Award this May for Data-Driven Marketing for their project with Toyota on their Sales Match Back system.
With these nine new hires, H/L strengthens its competitive strategy of recruiting talent offering a local presence and insights across the US. Their goal is to make a measurable, positive impact impact for both their clients and the communities they call home. The new H/L team members boast experience in key verticals such as travel and hospitality, finance and insurance, tech, CPG, media, e-comm, QSR, fashion and beauty, and auto. This new H/L talent includes:
- Deepak George, associate creative director
- Nick Kamei and Nhien Nguyen, senior art directors
- Mikey Arroyo and Daisy Serafini, art directors
- Mark Moran, copywriter
- Sally Zhang, associate video producer
- Jedd Samonte, motion graphics designer and editor
- Nate Kristoff, camera operator and editor
This is a continued phase of expansion for H/L, which last year welcomed new hires Ardella Strickel (design director), Precious Bautista (junior editor), Bryan Abarca (junior copywriter), and Hana Kimmelman (junior art director).
“We always strive to Make Momentum,” says VP, executive creative director, Dallas Baker, “and now that momentum is making us. We’ve experienced an unprecedented year of growth, adding new Creative talent and perspectives at all levels, in locations nationwide.”
