year and a half at Goodby, Silverstein and Partners, San Francisco.

Leo Burnett Sydney’s chief creative officer, Andy DiLallo said he was delighted Lagana was joining the ranks.

“He is unquestionably one of the best talents in the industry today,” he said. “I look forward to seeing what surprises he and his new partner, Grant McAloon, will have in store for us. It isn’t often you get to pair such outstanding talents together. As a matter of fact, I think I’m going to start calling them the Avengers. It truly is a great day for Leos.”
