MEET LIZ

Liz Hunt is a visionary CEO, creative strategist, and emerging thought leader in modern leadership. Named one of the “40 Under 40” by Midwest Business Journal, Liz founded DayCloud Studios at 26 and grew it into a nationally recognized, award-winning branding and creative agency serving clients across North America.

With more than a decade of experience leading creative teams, Liz has developed a nuanced leadership philosophy grounded in one core belief: one leadership style does not fit nine creative minds. This belief became the foundation of her forthcoming book, The Nine Types of Creatives & How to Manage Them: a practical framework designed to help leaders understand the psychology, motivations, strengths, and shadow patterns of creative professionals.

Through real-world agency leadership, Liz has navigated growth, performance management, team dynamics, and culture-building at scale. Her work empowers leaders — particularly women in executive roles — to move beyond generic management tactics and instead lead with clarity, adaptability, and strategic empathy. A dynamic and candid speaker, Liz equips audiences with actionable tools to build high-performing teams, foster psychological safety without sacrificing standards, and lead creative personalities with confidence.
