About Us
Held Lloyd are creative search professionals specializing in advertising, new media and corporate communications recruitment since 1982. The company is comprised of its Principals, Binnie Held and Adam Lloyd, additional highly experienced Recruitment Directors, and support personnel.

BINNIE HELD has over twenty-five years experience in major advertising recruitment. Since forming Held Lloyd eighteen years ago, she has established both a national and international reputation as a caring, earnest professional who takes great pride in nurturing the careers of her applicants while diligently working towards finding the optimum solutions to her clients' recruitment needs.

ADAM LLOYD has over fifteen years in creative recruitment, establishing contacts with many of the most creative shops and forward-thinking brand and image-building organizations in the industry. A writer by trade with an MFA from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, he is as adept at refining his candidates' portfolios as he is in shaping and clarifying their career directions.

Kimberly Johnson brings twelve years of senior account management experience to her handling of the Account/Marketing desk. With her background, she has an intricate, first-hand knowledge of the diverse staffing needs of both agency and client companies. As a former advertising professional herself, she brings a special sensitivity and empathy to her applicants as she helps guide them through the next stage of their career development.

Stephenie Trepess has an uncanny knack for spotting undiscovered creative talent and getting them their first big break. A photography major out of the prestigious Savannah College of Art & Design, Stephenie's trained eye and lifelong passion for both the graphic and electronic arts make her an invaluable asset to the Held & Lloyd team.

We approach the creative search business with skill and ingenuity. We attentively focus on the job specs and then leverage our vast network of contacts when considering not only the creative credentials of a given candidate, but the character, employment history, potential and leadership qualities of each individual being considered.

Our talent pool consists of many of the most talented and influential creatives and executives in the industry. Candidates we represent come to regard us as respectful of their work, reliable partners in their careers, and a valuable resource as they weigh professional decisions. It is not unusual for strong bonds and lasting relationships to develop between the creatives we place and those in our organization.

Our clients are the world's finest advertising, integrated and interactive agencies, as well as corporate America's most sophisticated in-house marketing departments. These agencies specialize in General Advertising, New Media, Direct Response, Promotion, Healthcare Advertising and Corporate Communications.

While our main orientation is fulltime employment, we also have extensive experience providing companies with top level freelance creative talent for both long and short-term projects. We work as both retained search and contingency consultants.
