Dave Billing, ECD at Fold7, said: “This is an exciting time at Fold7 as we bring in rising talent and new energy into our nurturing and growing creative department. We’re already feeling the benefits of their talents across multiple projects as they further bolster our ability to answer briefs of any shape.
