About Empirical Digital

I’m Joshua Hill. I created Empirical Digital in 2014 to provide digital strategy, website planning, SEO, analytics, and reporting to great organizations. Since then, I’ve personally served 116 clients and logged over 11,000 timesheet entries.

Empirical Digital also has a very experienced team of designers, developers, SEO experts, and PPC subcontractors that I can deploy and scale quickly and easily. Together, we can take over all the work of large digital marketing agencies with as little as 1 week’s notice. The majority of my subcontractors previously reported to me at agencies before creating their own businesses.

I started creating websites in 1995. I spent 10 years working in-house, 10 years leading digital departments in agencies, and now I’ve spent more than 10 years running my own business. I love the Internet and thoroughly enjoy what I do every day, which is a big reason why my clients stay with me for much longer than most other consultants.

Here are some other facts about me:

  • I have an honors in philosophy BA from the University of Michigan, which I obtained over 6 years while working on websites. I still love philosophy, especially idealism, existentialism, and critical theory.
  • My hobbies are cooking, hiking, backpacking, history, and disc golf. I’ve competed in several world championships and US Masters disc golf tournaments.
  • I grew up in and around Flint, Michigan, and today I live just outside Boulder, Colorado, with my wife and two children.
