Mark Hurley

Hi, I'm Mark! I'm a Client Partner at AKQA, with a focus on leading effective and breakthrough brand communications and storytelling projects. I have over 15 years of experience at top-tier creative agencies. Throughout my career, my projects have consistently led to tangible brand and business growth and have earned numerous awards, including recognition from Cannes, Effie and Clio. 

 

I'm an empathetic and enthusiastic leader who firmly believes that teams who feel heard, empowered and challenged will always create the best work. And that the riskiest thing a brand can do is play it safe.

In my time at AKQA, I've led projects for B2C and B2B brands including Rivian, Robinhood, Replit, Cloudflare, California Closets, Levi’s, Infosys, Xapo Bank, Coca-Cola and Meta. Before AKQA, I worked at DDB and Crispin Porter + Bogusky, partnering with brands like Domino's, Infiniti, NBA2K, Fruit of the Loom and Energy Upgrade California.

I grew up in Maine, went to college in NYC and have since lived in Colorado, LA and the Bay Area. Outside of work, you can usually find me on a beach or a mountain with my wife, Maggie and dog, Charlie.
