Bio

The adopted son of a carpenter (sound familiar?), Clayton Hove has been riding the wild surf of advertising in style, panache and grace for over a decade. From owning and operating his own avant-garde freelance operations to steady paychecks as art director at a Fargo, North Dakota agency, this ambiverted creative is one of KK BOLD's busiest and most valuable team members. Throughout the years, he has developed volumes of successful award-winning campaigns ranging from tourism, casinos, museums and banks to health clubs, bars and booking agencies for bands and exotic dancers.

He prefers the exotic dancers.

As KK BOLD's creative director, Clayton balances a superfluous but highly effective blend of psychology, poetry, humor, design and blatant capitalism. He wears out footwear faster than any other staffer due to his constant hopping from station to station and office to office. With the eyes of an eagle with contact lenses, the innovative mind of a caffeine-swilling Michelangelo, the untamed hair of a wild mustang, and the mediative skills of a hostage negotiator, Clayton is a driving force of advertising agency excellence.

And when he isn't creating award-winning copy and concepts, Clayton enjoys hanging at ad-rag.com, evolving his original hot sauce recipes, playing frisbee with foreign dignitaries, allowing supermodels to give him lengthy scalp massages, caring for wounded endangered species, and writing his own profiles.
