Hall is the latest in a string of key hires by Banjo and re- unites a formidable creative team with Hall’s ex creative partner Georgia Arnott, who heads the creative department at Banjo Sydney.

After a highly successful period at Y&R Sydney, where the pair were key contributors to Y&R Sydney winning Campaign Brief Agency of the Year, twice, Hall joined the Campaign Palace, Melbourne.

He then moved to Clemenger BBDO Sydney where he held the position of deputy creative director. Since 2007 Tim has been working in the New Zealand market as CD at Saatchi & Saatchi’s award winning Wellington Office.

Says Hall: “I’m excited to be moving to the fastest growing market in Australia with an agency that is proudly Australian and has ambitions to match. Banjo Brisbane continues to grow and achieve incredible success in just over 12 months and I have a very experienced managing partner in Stephen Forth.

“Together I believe we can create something special. I’m also looking forward to collaborating with Georgia once again. There’s been a lot of layout pads gone through since we last worked together, but I know how Georgia thinks and respect her talent, and that never changes!”

Says Stephen Forth: “With our continued growth in new business we felt the time was right to raise the creative levels of the agency and the marketplace. After spending considerable time searching the markets here in Australia and overseas we are very fortunate to have found Tim and have him join Banjo Brisbane.

“Tim is a highly awarded and experienced creative director who will provide the agency with significant creative firepower moving forward and continue to push our Brand story selling philosophy.”
