About me

Kara Hamilton is an innovative director and creative director, who specializes in bringing an experimental visual style into commercial storytelling. She has over a decade of experience in the advertising industry, and believes in setting a positive example of creative intention and collaboration that inspires her clients and crew to make the best possible work together. Her creative for Mijenta Tequila was awarded Silver in The Drum Awards 2024, a project that exemplified her personal directorial aesthetic of vibrant colors and magical realism seen through a natural, feminine lens. And her directed commercial work "Darn It" for the outdoor brand Darn Tough received over million impressions, earned media coverage in ADWEEK and elsewhere, and was featured and nominated for awards at The Midwest Film Festival. Her work covers a spectrum of comedy, adventure, and contemplative, but no matter what the commercial work entails, there's always the intention to bring out an unseen beauty and magic for the viewer that's been just under the surface.
