About Ryan Peal

Ryan's View is written by surprisingly, a guy named Ryan, that's me.  I'm the Creative Director for Hill & Knowlton Australia, the country's largest communications consultancy, challenged daily with the small task of infusing creative thinking into campaigns the agency develops for more than 100 clients representing more than 25 different industries.  I've been told I'm creative and I know I like to direct so the title just seemed to fit. 

I've been in the marketing business for more than 15 years, starting right out of university as an intern at H&K Chicago, followed by 3 years at H&K DC, 2 years as assistant marketing director at Washington Hospital Center, 2 years at Fleishman-Hillard NYC and most recently 7 years at H&K Los Angeles where I headed up the consumer technology group and the agency's US Youth Marketing team.  Yes, I get around. :-)

Throughout my career I've been blessed with amazing opportunities to work with some of the best companies and people in the world, who showed me each day the importance of opening my eyes to the world around me and actively looking for fun ways to engage people in a brand.  I've worked with nearly one-third of the Top 100 Brands in the world in some capacity and looking forward to opportunities to work with others currently on the list, or help new ones make the list.

Happy reading to all.
