For over 40 years, HCP has helped leaders understand what is true, decide what to do and carry that decision through.
HCP Associates helps leaders work through decisions that cross audiences, departments, budgets and public accountability. The firm connects research, strategy and marketing in one senior-led process.
Managing Partners Sean A. Coniglio and Eric R. Polins lead the firm from the Joseph Garcia International Center at Port Tampa Bay.
A Tampa firm since 1986.
Government, private, public-private and nonprofit.
A record across research, strategy and marketing.
The people responsible for the recommendation remain close to the work.
The right answer matters more than the easy one.
The people responsible for the recommendation remain involved through the decisions and execution that follow.
Before recommending a service, HCP defines the decision, the people affected and the information leadership still needs.
Recommendations are grounded in research, the available record and the real conditions surrounding the organization.
The partners and senior team members introduced at the beginning remain involved throughout the engagement.
Research, strategy and marketing remain connected so the original reasoning is not lost during production.
HCP gives clients the answer the evidence supports, even when the best recommendation is not to hire HCP.
HCP’s name reflects its history. R. Patrick Hill founded the firm in 1986, and over the four decades since, Sean Coniglio, Eric Polins and many talented associates have helped shape HCP into the firm it is today.
R. Patrick Hill, a University of South Florida graduate who helped launch the Oracle, built an executive marketing career at Procter & Gamble before returning to Florida.
Hill founded Hill & Associates in Tampa in 1985. The firm recorded an operating profit in 1986, the year HCP uses for every anniversary, while serving clients including Raymond James Financial, Media General and Sheraton Resorts.
Sean Coniglio and Eric Polins founded Coniglio Polins Interactive during the dot-com era. One of their first website projects was for Sheraton Sand Key Resort, a longtime Hill & Associates client. In 2000, they joined Hill’s office as minority partners.
HCP Associates, Inc. was formally incorporated in Florida on January 9, 2003. The firm has operated from the Joseph Garcia International Center at Port Tampa Bay since 2010. Today, Sean Coniglio and Eric Polins serve as Managing Partners, supported by a leadership team and associates who play an essential role in running the firm, serving its clients and carrying HCP forward.
HCP brings together strategists, researchers, communicators, designers, and creators who share one thing: curiosity about the problem in front of them.
HCP’s history is measured in decisions clarified, strategies carried forward and work that remained accountable after launch.
How unscripted interviews with 12 volunteers became a multi-media campaign that helped Voices for Children of Tampa Bay recruit more guardians ad litem than it had trainers to prepare.
How an annual telephonic survey gave Pinellas County’s Board of Commissioners the citizen data to guide budget decisions and long-term strategic planning.
