After more than 30 years in advertising, Bill Hamilton has called it a career, according to J. Walter Thompson, where he has worked since 1998.

Hamilton, one of about a dozen worldwide creative directors at JWT, retired this summer to spend time in Colorado. Still, he remains available to the New York shop as a consultant on “special projects,” an agency representative said. Hamilton, who requested a quiet departure, could not be reached.

“He always challenged conventional thinking to create smart, elegant advertising that got results,” said Peter Schweitzer, worldwide CEO at JWT.
