Hillery Kemp:
Thinker, Maker, Idea Liberator.
I kicked off my career helping SmithGroup with their marketing and fell in love with sustainability and design.
I’ve been a Brand Strategist for California agencies Landor, MiresBall, and Four Fin Creative. At these agencies, I was fortunate to work on some of the world’s biggest B2B and B2C brands including FedEx, Samsung, Kia, Accenture, Intuit, Taco Bell, and Yelp.
I’ve written a few things on brand strategy, brand collaborations, b2b branding, and brand-led marketing (with a heavy emphasis on car metaphors if you’re into that).
I’ve even shared the journey of my wild ideas for Creative Mornings Phoenix.
“Working with Hillery is a dream come true. That may sound dramatic but it's true. Whenever an idea sparks in my mind, Hillery is the person I trust to share the idea and nurture it into existence. She knows how to bring an idea to life and create a unique, distinguishable brand. Her ability to listen, hear feedback and iterate until your whole body says YES makes for such a smooth, joyful branding experience.”

“Working with Hillery was such a treat. She not only was a skilled storyteller and thoughtful strategist, but she brought the best energy to our team. She had a lightness to her strategy discovery and facilitation that kept everyone engaged and inspired. She always operated with the best intentions and integrity and I could always trust her to handle her initiatives with complete ownership. Her involvement in Four Fin brought our whole agency up a level and we are forever grateful she was part of our growth story.”

“Working with Hillery was an absolute pleasure. Her process was seamless, easy, and fun from start to finish. Hillery requested inspiration input at the outset, and her ability to take those ideas and transform them into a cohesive and creative brand guide was incredible—she produced results we never could have imagined on our own. The final deliverable she provided is not only stunning but also practical. It serves as a comprehensive guide for my entire team, ensuring the new brand elements are implemented consistently across all platforms. The result? A fresh, creative, and completely “us” brand that exceeded our expectations.”
