The Hallway has appointed Carla Hizon head of account management.
In this newly created position, Hizon will be responsible for leading the agency’s account management teams across Sydney and Melbourne.
Hizon has held senior roles at leading agencies both locally and internationally. Most recently she was at global digital agency Jellyfish in New York as client partner for Google. Prior to that she was at another prominent digital agency iCrossing New York. Before heading overseas she was at DDB Sydney for a number of years.
Jules Hall, CEO The Hallway, said: “We’re delighted to have Carla join our team. She brings fantastic global experience from her time in New York, building on her many years in Australian agencies. She’s super smart, knows the business of advertising and is a perfect cultural fit with the rest of our team."
This appointment comes during a successful year for the independent agency. Their work has been recognised at all the major national and international award shows. They’ve broken new business records, delivered major brand platforms for the likes of Suncorp Bank, and created category defining work with their men's mental health initiative, Boys Do Cry, re-recording The Cure’s iconic hit to encourage blokes not to man up.
