Olivia-Jené Fagon, who formerly led creative for VICE Media Groups, joins integrated agency Giant Spoon as creative director.
The Vice Media brands include VICE, Refinery29, i-D and Noisey.

Her association with brands and nonprofits has been extensive, including work for Netflix, the ACLU, GLAAD, Bombay Sapphire, Target and Marc Jacobs.
