Hillary A.

Integrated Marketing & Brand Strategy Leader — culture, community & creator ecosystems for fashion, beauty & lifestyle

I build brands that live in culture and community, not just in feeds. With 10+ years leading integrated brand and GTM strategy for global retail and lifestyle brands, I create 360 marketing ecosystems that connect digital and IRL touchpoints — brand, PR, social, partnerships, creators and experiential — to drive awareness, engagement and long-term consumer growth. I blend cultural insight with performance measurement (GA, Meta, CRM) and a focus on creator/affiliate-led and community growth, while exploring AI to accelerate personalization and creative output. Select collaborations include Moncler, adidas, Reebok, Timberland, Complex, the New York Yankees and Warner Bros.
