Space makes three senior hires

Creative agency Space has appointed Andy Preston and Alex Hazell as deputy creative directors, and James Newport as design director.

Space, which has clients including William Grant & Sons, General Mills and Heineken, has recently produced a new TV and social campaign for the launch of Glenfiddich Fire & Cane in the US, created a new fashion platform for Haagen-Dazs in Germany and developed festival activations for Birra Moretti in the UK.

Preston and Hazell, who will be taking the conceptual lead on client projects, have creative experience from the likes of Leo Burnett, Grey, Dentsu and Havas Worldwide, whilst Newport joins from Pablo.

They will all report in to Greg McAlinden, creative director at Space.

“Our clients continue to challenge us to solve a broad range of business problems with our joined-up and consistent creative approach across every consumer touchpoint,” said McAlinden.

“In Andy, Alex and James, we have added further talent to the team to ensure that our clients continue to benefit from our creative expertise and solutions across advertising, social, experiential and shopper.”
