The Hallway promotes Jessica Thompson and Aldo Ferretto
The Hallway has bolstered its creative team, promoting senior copywriter Jessica Thompson and art director Aldo Ferretto to creative directors.
The promotions come after a string of new business wins and growth, including the creative account for Foxtel’s entertainment streaming service Binge, and a CX project for Kmart.
Thompson has been at The Hallway for three years, working her way up from the position of copywriter. Ferretto joined the agency last year from Publicis Australia. Previously, he has spent time at Leo Burnett Buenos Aires, DDB Barcelona and Lola Mullenlowe.

The Hallway ECD and partner, Simon Lee, said he trusted Thompson and Ferretto to provide the best possible work for clients.
“It’s when the economic chips are down that our clients are most in need of great creativity, that’s why we’re investing in supercharging our creative leadership,” Lee said.
“I have to be able to look our clients in the eye and guarantee them creative work that will deliver the best possible business outcomes. With creative leaders on board like JT and Aldo, I know I can.”
Ferretto said of his promotion: “When I first met Simon, I was inspired by his burning passion for creativity and what he and Jules have already achieved with The Hallway. Now Jess and I are fired up to create the groundbreaking work for our clients that will define the agency’s next chapter. Call me biased, but we’re confident it’s going to be the best one yet.”
Thompson added: “This is the beginning of a really exciting new chapter for me personally, for The Hallway and for our clients. I can’t wait to reward the trust implicit in this promotion with world class creative work that makes a real difference to our clients’ businesses.”
The promotions come two months after the agency announced the appointment of national managing director, Hugh Nairn. This year, The Hallway has also hired its first head of media, Lyndell Sawyer, client partner Erin Kelly and head of project management Libby Hams.
