July 15, NEW YORK – Hill+Knowlton Strategies (H+K), international public relations agency, has appointed Daniel Holmes as Creative Director in New York, continuing H+K’s build out of its stateside Innovation + Creative hub.

“The power of creativity is most effectively unlocked when working alongside our sector and specialists’ teams to develop ideas that add value to our clients,” said Holmes. “This creative approach to communications is a key growth driver in the US, and I’m excited play a part in it.”

Richard Millar, H+K Global President, said, “Dan is an excellent creative leader for the US. His understanding of client expectations and honed creative ability to create standout work will elevate our clients’ campaigns to the next level.”

This appointment follows a series of significant hires to the growing H+K US team. Since the start of the year, the agency has hired Lilly Kofler to head up behavioral science, Molly Schlinger as Creative Strategist and James Barbour to head up Public Affairs, among others.
