"Hilton’s approach to creative and his ability to entrench himself in research to uncover the correct insights is exactly how we [Boomtown] approach briefs," says Boomtown MD, Andrew MacKenzie.
"Hilton wants his creative output to not just captivate audiences, but he wants real, tangible results that drive change," MacKenzie adds.
