About Hill Holliday
Hill Holliday’s purpose is to create a singular, resonant idea upon which a company can build business success that endures for years, even decades. The ultimate reward for such a mission? Relationships that endure. Hill Holliday’s top five clients have been partners of the agency for an average of 16 years, five times longer than the industry standard. Their resonant ideas have achieved the highest international accolades for creativity and effectiveness: Hill Holliday has the distinction of being one of the very few agencies in the world to be awarded the Grand Prix at Cannes, the Grand Clio, and the Grand Effie. Behind this grand thinking are 850 employees in Boston, New York, and Greenville who bring talent and expertise to every area of communications – strategy and planning, advertising, digital and social, media planning and buying, and branded content -- on behalf of industry leaders like Verizon Wireless, Bank of America, Liberty Mutual, Dunkin’ Donuts, John Hancock, Chili’s, Novartis, and Major League Baseball.
In 1968, Jay Hill, Alan Holliday, Jack Connors and Steve Cosmopulos set up shop in Boston.
