Prior to joining Definition 6, Hall founded and ran two creative agencies.

Prior to that, she was Co-Founder/Executive Creative Director of Spark+Sizzle, most notably producing an award-winning interactive digital campaign for “American Horror Story” with FX.
Before that, Hall was at Showtime Networks for more than 15 years with the last 10 in the role of VP/Creative Director of Network Branding and Design. There, she led the Showtime brand transition into the digital environment and executed thousands of projects, including 360º marketing campaigns, social content, product development, network rebrands, and show packaging.

Of the many series launches she worked on, one of her favorites is the “Billions'' launch campaign, which involved a takeover of the Oculus in Lower Manhattan with 50 screens of all shapes and sizes, including two massive 20 X 30-foot displays.
“While the future of media and entertainment is still being written, more and more brands and entertainment providers are waking up to the possibilities of what smart agencies like Definition 6 can achieve by combining creative, technology, and analytics,” concludes Hall.
