Somewhere along the way, we fall in love with the people we’re trying to help. And we use every bit of that love, compassion, and empathy to fuel us to create ideas that change lives. Even save them. It’s an incredible opportunity and powerful responsibility that all 195 of us Humble Hungry Humans across New York and Boston take very seriously each and every day. So don’t let all the fun we’re having fool you.
Our Work
Our Approach
Reveal the Truth
We go deep to expose genuine, multi-layered insights that connect with people in powerful and unexpected ways.
Proximity
We insert ourselves into our targets’ lives, literally and figuratively; we sit beside them — not across from them — to get raw, unfiltered views of their worlds.
3-D Journey
Understanding what people are doing, thinking, and feeling at any given point helps us fully dimensionalize personal journeys. People are looking to fulfill their missions in life, and their health or conditions need to be seen in that full context.
Head & Heart
We don’t just listen, we hear people — what they say, how they say it, even what they don’t say — all with real compassion and empathy.
Create Ideas that Move People
We push category boundaries with compelling, inspiring ideas that emotionally move people to take action.
Honesty
Our storytelling is built to express the real truths that reflect real life, so we connect in a more meaningful way, building brand loyalty and driving action.
Respect
Respecting our target, clients, condition, culture, and competitive landscape allows us to deliver distinct, relevant, and appropriate ideas for each unique situation.
Bravery
Safe, non-descript work gets lost in the shuffle — and never enters patients’ minds. Boldly redefining category boundaries is what truly breaks through to disrupt complacency and inertia. Only then can you move people to better health.
Never Rest
No campaign is ever finished. And neither are we. (Okay, we take a few naps here and there.)
Optimize & Advance
We closely monitor every aspect of our campaigns through the lens of “could it be working better?” We make both micro-adjustments and strategic refinements to ensure our efforts win today’s share battle, and set the stage for future growth.
Look Outward
Category, competition, company, culture — what big shifts require us to re-examine our assumptions for the coming quarter, year, two years? Consistent interrogation results in a virtuous cycle in which we’re always looking to reveal new truths.
Hill Holliday Health pushes insights and creative boundaries further than anyone I’ve seen in my 20+ year career, their client service is world-class, and they’re just great, fun, collaborative people.

Our Team
I’ve never come across a smarter, more committed and ambitiously creative partner agency. Their outstanding work on INVOKANA made it a no-brainer for us to ask them to help us elevate the success of XARELTO.
