“Over the years, I’ve had the great fortune of working on both the client and agency side of entertainment marketing, and Radley is truly a cut above the rest,” said Neal in a statement. “They provide a global perspective across a range of disciplines, and they create truly original advertising integration. I welcome the creative challenge and couldn’t be happier to be part of such an incredible team."
