Rob Shone worked for RB Design and Enigma Creative Solutions, before starting up his own creative agency.
He has partnered with Giant in the past year as both a client and designer. The company said his hire was a "natural progression" from this relationship.
Giant, which provides exhibition stands, experiential events and PR services to clients, hopes Shone’s experience in the creative world will help to create immersive experiences for big brands. It has previously worked on projects with Google, chocolatier Hersheys and publisher Viz Media.
Tony Cozzi, managing director of Giant, said: "This is wonderful news for Giant and for Rob as we increase our client base and expand into ever more complex projects and larger worldwide campaigns.
"More importantly, to attract someone of Rob’s outstanding talent and experience can only be a good thing for our clients."
