Joanne Hall

Jo is Agency Director at Zest, Sainsbury's in‑house creative and production agency. With over 15 years' experience leading large‑scale creative and production teams, she brings a sharp focus on innovation, effectiveness, and sustainable growth.  Known for her curiosity and approachable, pragmatic style, Jo asks the right questions and builds the structures that help great work thrive. She's passionate about creativity that delivers real impact — and just as committed to the craft, collaboration, and operational excellence behind it.  Mother to one strong minded little girl and two step daughters, wife to a husband surrounded by females. The busy job/nursery run/ who's cooking dinner juggle is very real!  As Zest approaches its second anniversary, the agency has already grown and evolved significantly, with a standout "Wow" moment being crowned Campaign's "Best New Agency/Team" award in 2025.
