Heavy on talent.
Light on our feet.

For the past 20+ years Rick has been in the business of making strategically driven, creative solutions for world class brands in just about every category and across all media types. He most recently led multi-disciplined teams at Hill Holliday to create integrated brand campaigns for companies like Major League Baseball, Merrell Shoes, BMW Motorrad, LG Home Appliances, Party City, and Dunkin’ Donuts, to name just a few.

When Rick was 8 years old, his very Irish father made him take up boxing. Among the many lessons this taught him, the most important one is that he learned how to take a punch, which definitely comes in handy in the advertising business.

Alyssa is HATCH The Agency’s employee #2. And over the past 10+ years, she’s been partnering with companies big and small to form marketing and communications programs that lead to their growth. Her experience spans across all manner of branding projects – from strategy through to implementation. She has built expertise in areas including marketing planning, website strategy, and campaign management. On top of all this, she also has experience working within “in-house” marketing teams, which gives her a unique understanding of the challenges service brands face. In her spare time, Alyssa is a passionate supporter of her local community. She sits on the Advisory Board of Community Cooks, a Somerville non-profit organization that provides home-cooked meals to neighbors in need, helping the organization with their marketing strategy, development, and events.

His class offers an honest industry perspective and focuses on strategy and creative concepting.

Megan’s father was a bigwig doctor in Boston. While that didn’t inspire her to head to medical school and don a stethoscope and scrubs, it did help her understand the value of diagnosing a problem and formulating a plan to solve it. For more than 15 years, she’s been guiding brands through rebranding initiatives, new product launches, and multi-channel advertising campaigns. In short, she’s pretty much done and seen it all. Before joining HATCH, Megan’s career landed her at a few different agencies in Boston and Chicago working on accounts like McDonald’s, MillerCoors, John Hancock, Great Wolf Lodge, and Liberty Mutual, among others. Today she’s running point on all things HOOD, juggling new client projects as they come in, and heading up the agency’s new business efforts. Megan is also a mother of three girls under the age of 6, so to say she can handle any problem you throw at her is an understatement.

Cameran is our newest creative department member. She comes from Boston University with a degree in Advertising and a focus in Art History. Her art direction and design skills have already made their mark for just about every one of our clients – MountainOne, Hood, and Wellington Management, among others. Cameran is also passionate about human rights and urban leadership, and brings her creative talents to various nonprofits and initiatives in the Greater Boston area. When she’s not juggling all of this, she’s avoiding the notoriously bad drivers of Boston on her super-cool Vespa scooter.

Think you’re a country music fan or expert? Let us introduce you to Danielle. After graduating from the University of Southern California with a degree in Business Administration and Marketing, she spent several years working at the Academy of Country Music as an Events Coordinator, helping to organize concerts and events. Before her time at the ACM, she worked at Boston’s own Harpoon Brewery helping to produce their charitable events. Considering how rowdy the country music and beer scenes can be, there isn’t a project she can’t handle.

Lindsay has spent over a decade working at large Boston-based advertising agencies. At Digitas, she launched both the North American and global initiatives for P&G’s Oral-B, Crest, and Olay brands. She then moved to Hill Holliday and helped orchestrate Liberty Mutual’s social program, including their award-winning Olympics “RISE” platform. She later managed accounts across a range of industries: hospitality (Great Wolf Lodge), home improvement (Olympic Paint), banking (Bank of America), and education (Capella University). Since 2020, Lindsay has been helping HATCH The Agency manage projects for Hood, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, and Cambridge Innovation Center. While this all might seem like a lot for one person to juggle, Lindsay is also the mom of three boys under the age of 7. So, work is almost like a mini vacation.
