About Hilton Barbour

Hilton Barbour’s first love is marketing, which he believes is the growth engine of any organization. From crafting unique value propositions to nurturing distinctive brands (and even creating a few), he has international client and agency experience in driving growth, building loyal customers, and gaining market share. He has worked across both B2B and B2C sectors, leading global brands and feisty start-ups. This diverse exposure gives him a unique perspective on how to build and execute marketing strategies that deliver.

While marketing can drive growth, Hilton believes that only when employees are fully aligned and committed can an organization achieve real competitive advantage. Culture, he feels, is the fuel of creativity, ingenuity, and agility that enable a firm to truly win with partners and customers.

He fiercely believes in the combination of marketing and culture to differentiate—and win—in the marketplace.
