Daniel Hoexter
President, Executive Creative Director

Daniel started his advertising career as a copywriter, so it's no surprise he is still very active in the strategic and conceptual development of client campaigns. Most importantly, though, he is responsible for increasing McKinney's footprint and capabilities to meet clients' growing needs. Prior to McKinney, Daniel worked in both consumer and B2B agencies honing his strategic and creative skills. Daniel received his BA from the University of Illinois and Columbia College and attended the Institute for Advanced Advertising Studies through Northwestern University. He currently serves on the Board of Directors for Confrad International and is a former CopyChaser for B-to-B Magazine, as well as the former President of the Chicago Chapter of the Business Marketing Association.
