Mark Tillman

Mark Tillman

Mark Tillman's diverse creative background spans freelance journalism, songwriting, music production, graphic design and, even, stage acting — albeit many years since he was a thespian. His eclectic experience lends well to Hype's services, with a sincere appreciation and understanding of media and the creative services that embellish it. Tillman is the X-factor at Hype. He enjoys crafting prose that artfully conveys the spirit of client-work, as well as the process and concepts behind it. Combine his passion for creative writing with an eye for graphic design, he's integral to Hype's ability to create marketing materials for its clients. In addition to assisting on media relations for Hype's diverse roster, Tillman helmed press relations for the 4th Annual Tucson Film & Music Festival. Tillman is also a dedicated board member of the Venice Media District, where he serves as copywriter and co-director of marketing.

Prior to joining Hype in 2007, Tillman resided in the South's flagship metropolis Atlanta, GA, his hometown, where he earned a B.A. in English (Creative Writing) at Georgia State University. As a freelance writer, he contributed numerous articles to Los Angeles Magazine's sister publication Atlanta Magazine before garnering the role of Assistant Editor for the magazine's annual City Guide in 2006. With more than 10 years experience as a songwriter and recording artist, Tillman has toured regionally throughout the South and East Coast; moreover, he's produced and engineered several albums, including two under the moniker Goodnight Insomniacs, tracking and mixing at venerable Atlanta and Athens studios including Dave Barbe's Chase Park Transduction, Exocet, and Nickel and Dime Studios.

Tillman would also like to disclose the coolest band he's ever opened for was DeVotchKa; he's a fantastic cook; his fade-away jump-shot is a force to be reckoned with on the basketball court; and he takes every opportunity to brush up his Spanish vocabulary.
