The Team

Global Creative Direction (GCD) is the in-house content agency for the Tommy Hilfiger brand. It is made up of Art Directors, Producers, Designers, Editors and Writers.

It balances this alongside its reporting line into the Director of Creative Operations where budget adherence, fee negotiation, usage agreement, legal clearances and agency management define success.
