Following his promotion, Hall will lead the creative work for the UK eBay account and work alongside New York-based sister agency Joan Creative.

Hall said: “JOAN isn’t your average agency. Something special is happening in this office just off Fleet Street. So I’m more than a little chuffed that they’ve invited me to step onboard and create a boatload of joyful rebellion.”
