He then designed and ran the studio facilities for Perfect Pitch Inc., later buying the facility and turning it into Landmark Recording. During those years Jim added advertising, industrial video and television documentary work to his ample skill-set.

His creative and detail-oriented approach has won him half a dozen Emmy awards, Telly's, Communicator Crystal awards, Clio's and Addy's almost too numerous to count. Those awards cover a multitude of specialized audio fields that Hillenbrand has obviously mastered. He brings a freshness of approach married to years of seasoned experience to any and all audio projects.

As Hillenbrand has said "The most important session I've ever done is the one I'm working on." It's that mind set that has not only brought numerous awards but a loyal client following who count on him to make their ideas shine.
