Before coming together as Held & Lloyd, we were sportswriters, stylists, photographers, and more. Today, we leverage our varied experiences — within search and elsewhere — to find strategic, organic solutions.
Binnie’s been active in the industry since the 1970s. As a stylist and photographer’s rep — not to mention the wife of a successful creative director — she developed a love for agency life and respect for the work. Inspired to join a creative recruitment firm, her caring, earnest approach helped her find winning solutions for mainstays of Madison Avenue. Capitalizing on this momentum, she launched Held & Lloyd in 1982. From a portfolio-strewn office on Lexington Ave to Held & Lloyd’s current home near Columbus Circle, Binnie’s genuine desire to help candidates find the optimum job has been our guiding principle.
