H&K makes regional creative appointment

Asia Pacific - Hill & Knowlton has promoted Sydney-based Ryan Peal to the newly-created role of creative director for Asia Pacific.

Peal, who has headed up creative for Hill & Knowlton's Sydney office for the past two years, recently launched a regional creative network called IdeasLab involving around 50 consultants in nine different offices.

"Anyone who's ever met Ryan knows he has a crazy and infectious drive that motivates colleagues and clients alike to keep thinking of new ways to tell brand stories that entertain and engage. He's made a significant impact in our Sydney office and we look forward to the creative chaos he'll bring to the rest of the network," Vivian Lines, president & chief operating officer for Hill & Knowlton Asia Pacific, said in a statement. 

Peal will continue to be based in Sydney.
