David L. Hill

[creative director]


I’m an award-winning Seattle-based creative director with a background in video scripting, digital marketing and technical copywriting. Through Creative Hill, LLC I’ve worked with agencies on projects for Samsung, Microsoft, AT&T, T-Mobile, Citibank and many others.   

Starting in 2020, I developed content for Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a Sr. Consultant. Before joining Edelman on the Samsung account, I was at F5 Networks for a year-long contract. Previously I was at VML/Y&R Group Seattle/Wunderman, where I was lead writer on the T-Mobile and G’Day spirits accounts. For a year, I helmed the copy effort for the agency’s “Compete” team for Microsoft, scripting numerous television commercials and web videos. I was a primary contributor to Microsoft's copy library for the Kinect for Xbox 360 launch. I also did several contract stints at MSN and MSNBC.
