DENNIS HUNTER
About Me
I'm a creative director and senior copywriter with more experience than you could shake a stick at.
I learned the business of advertising on Madison Avenue in New York City. and I've made homes both in global mega-agencies like Ogilvy and VML and in fast-moving boutique agencies.
I've worked with all sorts of brands, from Fortune 500 household names to lean startups. Clients have included Smirnoff, KFC, Charles Schwab, Dish TV, Ernst & Young, UnitedHealthcare, City National Bank, Hughesnet, Salesforce, Guardian Life, Marsh & McLennan Companies, Harvard Business School, and Feeding South Florida, to name a few.
Traditional and emerging media? Yes. TV productions and print campaigns? Yep. Web and digital media? Social media? AI? Those too. B2B and B2C? General Market and Multicultural? English and Spanish? Check, check, check.
I'm particularly experienced with clients in a few major verticals: technology, internet/telecom, financial services, consulting, insurance, alcohol, fast food, healthcare, wellness, tourism, and nonprofits. Name an industry and I've probably done work in it.
In my career I've built enduring client relationships. One of my largest clients has worked with me repeatedly across three different agencies, for more than two decades. This speaks louder than a Cannes Lion award about my ability to understand a client's strategic needs and deliver creative that produces results. Again and again.
Outside of work, I'm the author of three published books on meditation and Eastern philosophies. And I'm the dog dad of a sweet and spicy miniature Schnauzer mix named Buddha. 🐾
