Leo Hallam
Head of Brand & Communication

At Courtiers
Leo joined Courtiers in 2016, having worked closely with the company for some years as a creative consultant and before that, a junior designer in the early 2000s.
With a clear understanding of the brand and over 20 years’ commercial experience in visual communication, Leo’s helped Courtiers develop over decades. Having built and driven a Brand & Communication Team within the business over eight and a half years, he now heads up Brand, Events and Facilities, with a focus on delivering outstanding experiences for clients and colleagues alike.
Leo says, “I always liked the culture and passion for the brand. Courtiers was a fantastic client and I thought – you know what? Let’s join forces…throw some creative juice in the mix. Time’s proven that was a sound decision.”
Background / Experience
Art was Leo’s saviour when he presented his GCSE results to his parents, as it landed him an A* amongst an array of average Bs and Cs. Besides that, he’s self-taught. He secured his first commercial project at age 16 selling skateboard designs to an Australian company and at 18 moved to Nottingham City to cut his teeth in the professional branding world. This move saw Leo travel the world working on various brands in various industries, developing his artistic skills into professional digital and communication skills, which he seeks to evolve daily. Over time his creativity has spanned out beyond the artistic world of shapes and colours and into helping define and differentiate overall experiences.
Outside Work
Outside Courtiers Leo enjoys fresh air, trekking, nice pubs, live music and entertainment, creativity away from computers, good company and generally not dawdling too much.
