Define the decision
Before recommending a service, HCP defines the decision, the people affected and the information leadership still needs.
Put evidence ahead of opinion
Recommendations are grounded in research, the available record and the real conditions surrounding the organization.
Keep senior advisors involved
The partners and senior team members introduced at the beginning remain involved throughout the engagement.
Carry the thinking through execution
Research, strategy and marketing remain connected so the original reasoning is not lost during production.
Say the hard thing
HCP gives clients the recommendations lead to building internal and external teams to execute with purpose.
- THE NAME ON THE DOOR
Three names. One shared legacy. One firm.
HCP’s name reflects its history. R. Patrick Hill founded the firm in 1986, and over the four decades since, Sean Coniglio, Eric Polins and many talented associates have helped shape HCP into the firm it is today.
The Procter & Gamble Discipline
R. Patrick Hill, a University of South Florida graduate who helped launch the Oracle, built an executive marketing career at Procter & Gamble before returning to Florida.
Hill & Associates
Hill founded Hill & Associates in Tampa in 1985. The firm recorded an operating profit in 1986, the year HCP uses for every anniversary, while serving clients including Raymond James Financial, Media General and Sheraton Resorts.
Coniglio Polins Interactive
Sean Coniglio and Eric Polins founded Coniglio Polins Interactive during the dot-com era. One of their first website projects was for Sheraton Sand Key Resort, a longtime Hill & Associates client. In 2000, they joined Hill’s office as minority partners.
HCP Associates
HCP Associates, Inc. was formally incorporated in Florida on January 9, 2003. The firm has operated from the Joseph Garcia International Center at Port Tampa Bay since 2008. Today, Sean Coniglio and Eric Polins serve as Managing Partners, supported by a leadership team and associates who play an essential role in running the firm, serving its clients and carrying HCP forward.
- Leadership
Experience matters. So do the people.
HCP brings together strategists, researchers, communicators, designers, and creators who share one thing: curiosity about the problem in front of them.
