Oh, hello. Welcome. 

TIM HANCOCK | 360º CREATIVE DIRECTOR
A.D. | MAKER | IMPERFECT HUMAN

I have 17yrs experience making memorable creative solutions for brands across all mediums. I've worked in the trenches, built and led creative teams, and founded a small agency. From global brands to corner cafés and content calendars, I'm versatile, driven, and a nerd for a beautiful idea where the tiniest details come together to tell big compelling stories. 

 

I've frozen a guy for 400 years to promote a T.V. show. Sparked the holiday spirit in generations of Americans and hilariously filled an N.Y.C. coffee shop with naked baristas. I love unconventional ideas. I'm proud to have mobilized an audience to recover 22+ million names lost to slavery and returned the streets of Brooklyn to its O.G. influencer, B.I.G.

While I've had the privilege of winning some awards, what gets me is creating communication that people like. That reaches more than just wallets but hearts. Making people squirm, reflect, or laugh and smile. Creative that builds lasting connections and is complementary to lives, not just more clutter.

I love this stuff, and it's weird and fun.

There's more about me below, but first...
