The Hallway appoints Hugh Nairn as national managing director

Former Big Red partner and chief executive, Hugh Nairn, has re-entered the agency landscape, joining The Hallway as national managing director.

Nairn left Big Red in 2016, and has since served in a variety of roles, including executive producer at creative content company Positive Ape, chief executive of Trethowan Group – which he refers to as a “Nairn family company” – and director of Cavalry, a brand strategy and media planning business.

In his new role, Nairn will be based in the agency’s Melbourne office and be responsible for continuing the momentum achieved through account wins such as Foxtel’s new streaming service, Binge.
