Doug Pinckney
Doug knows what it's like to be a client because he's been one. Prior to co-founding Pinckney Hugo Group, he spent nearly two decades in senior marketing positions that took him all over the world. This has given him a unique perspective that allows him to be uncommonly effective in solving marketing challenges. Also, he's pretty good at the golf thing.
Chris Pinckney
Chris likes to create great work that works. He oversees PHG's award-winning team of creatives in making sure everything our agency does is not only amazing—but effective. Before PHG, Chris worked as a senior creative for agencies in New York and Connecticut. Before that, he carried cement.
Aaron Hugo
Aaron is our clients' secret weapon. He creates and executes strategies designed to make our clients happy and their competition miserable. With both agency and client-side marketing experience, Aaron has worked on everything from small startups to the biggest brands in the world. In short, he makes things happen.
Our private courtyard makes a great spot for a meeting, lunch, and the occasional hotdog eating contest.
The employee bar and lounge offers a place to relax and get social— offline, that is.
It would take 63,069,600 of our conference room tables to reach from the Earth to the Moon. (It still wouldn't be long enough to handle some of our all-staff meetings.)
From employee events and shared milestones to professional development and committees, here's a look at what makes us, well, us.
Celebrating our LGBTQ+ employees and local community this Pride month and continuing our work towards a more creative and inclusive future.
Congrats to Team PHG for overcoming the odds yet again to win back-to-back kickball champions! Did someone say dynasty?
We’re big on staying on top of trends, sharing best practices and learning something new. We’re also big on lunch. Our PHG Learns professional development sessions bring it all together.
Whether it’s making PHG a better place to work, finding new opportunities for learning or helping out in our communities, we have plenty of ways for the team to get involved.
In 2016, Michela Hugo discovered an unmet need in our community. So we worked with her to start the CNY Diaper Bank. We are deeply committed to this cause, and so far we’ve been able to distribute over five million diapers to local families in need. Nope, not a typo. Five million.
With Mental Heath Awareness Week at the agency, we can’t thank the team enough for creating this week of talks, pet therapy, activities and resources to help make mental health a priority at PHG.
careersWhen you work at an agency that’s consistently growing and evolving, your opportunities are too. It’s about having the ability to shape your career doing something you’re passionate about — and doing it in a flexible environment alongside other incredibly talented, genuinely good people.
