About Cindy Hamilton

Hi, thanks for reading! I’m a generalist comms vet of fast-paced consumer and B2B cos, with expertise across multiple verticals including innovation/product, tech/mobility, policy/politics and sports/endurance, focusing on the particulars of publicity in this evolving media landscape. My current industry is the supplemental school transportation tech business, and I amplify the need to safely and reliably get kids to school. I’m a joyful team member of HopSkipDrive helping to lead communications, with a focus on product and storytelling earned media, tech thought leadership and research narratives. A senior leader with strategic communications and management experience, I develop compelling messages that sing, and prepare executives, or myself, to perform. A former comms staffer at Nike, a consultancy owner and agency vet, I excel in earned media, leveraging the relationships I’ve built over my 20+ years in the industry to secure the right national and local placements for big brands across broadcast, print and digital outlets. After almost six years in-house at Nike, I consulted for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, the Abbott World Marathon Majors, Nike, Red Bull, Target/SoulCycle, adidas, Meta and more. I then pivoted to electoral and mission-driven work to serve the progressive community, and managed communications for a voter contact PAC. Specialties: middle management with humor and grace, Zoom filters Specialties: content marketing, public relations, earned media relations, issues management, executive communications, event management and planning, social media, strategic development, publicity.
