Hick Hunter is the CEO, ECD and co-founder of Paper Moose, a purpose-driven independent agency where strategy, creative ideas and specialist expertise drives positive change for brands, communities and the environment. They are also a certified B-Corp.

The advertising industry is incredibly competitive, with agencies competing for a share of business, a share of advertiser budgets, and a share of the talent in the marketplace. In the past few years, we have noticed a rise in not just the number of independent agencies, but also their ability to compete with the larger network agencies.

One of the ways they are doing this is by having a strong and clearly articulated purpose or set of values. It is not only differentiating them from the competition with advertisers, it is also a clear strategy for attracting talent. Nick shares this approach they have implemented over the past 13 years in building their agency, Paper Moose.
