Scott Donaton Biography

Scott Donaton is the head of creative at Hulu and an advertising industry veteran.

As Global Chief Creative & Content Officer at Digitas, a position he held from August 2018 to November 2019, Donaton led the agency's worldwide "connected creative" practice, which included creative, content, experience design and production. His team of more than 400 creatives developed stories and experiences worthy of a person's time and a brand's dollars.

Donaton also served as Head of Content for The Americas for Publicis Media and was the chief architect of the Digitas NewFront, the anchor event of the annual NewFront.

Donaton’s thought-leadership has been published in numerous media outlets including Fast Company, Adweek, Huffington Post, Business Insider, and Ad Age.

Prior to UM, Donaton founded Ensemble, an Interpublic Group content studio, where he served as CEO from 2009 till 2013.

Donaton coined the phrase “Madison & Vine”, and is the author of a book by the same name. The book helped launch the branded-content revolution by declaring that the entertainment and advertising industries need to converge to survive.

Prior to joining Interpublic, Donaton served as publisher of Entertainment Weekly. Before that, he was at Advertising Age, where he served as its editor for more than a decade before becoming publisher. Donaton oversaw the publication’s extension into digital media and the growth of its global presence.
