R.D. Gragg
Former VP Turner Marketing/Creative Group
Simply the BEST Creative mind I know and
have had the pleasure of working with. Her
portfolio speaks volumes about creative
intellect, branding expertise and marketing
sensibility.
Jim Spruell
CEO Chief Creative Officer Zuza Films
Elizabeth is so many things. She's a thinker.
She's a doer. She's a designer with an
artist's eye. She's an artist with a designer's
discipline. She thinks strategically but
understands the power of living in the world
of "what if". She's lots of stuff. But, most of
all, she's pretty damn amazing.
Sheryl Jessing
Freelance Producer
I've known Elizabeth for many years. She's
one of my favorite creative minds, and she
works hard to make every project the best it
can be. She is an extremely talented art
director and a great creative partner with a
fantastic sense of humor. I would love
opportunity to work with Elizabeth again.
Jerry Brown
President at Seabrook Consulting, Inc.
(Former EVP, COO, BBDO Atlanta)
I first met Elizabeth more than twenty years
ago when she was a gifted designer and
creative director at Brighthouse in Atlanta.
Her work was fresh and remarkable. I later
moved to Charleston and led marketing for
Seabrook Island, near Charleston. Elizabeth
had also moved to Charleston and was
creative director at our new agency, Rawle
Murdy. She and her team redesigned
Seabrook Island's entire identity program,
including an extraordinary logo. The
advertising and direct mail program was not
only well-positioned and upper tier, but was
highly effective in producing leads.
I have stayed in touch with Elizabeth and
have followed her accomplishments in the
years since. Her taste, judgment, and
strategic insight remain evident throughout
her broad range of creative work. I
recommend her without qualification.
Eric McClellan
Founder, Chief Creative Officer Wylie
I've have known Elizabeth Hall for almost all
of her prolific career. I distinctly remember
CREATIVE
REVIEWS
the first project we worked on together. It
was a rebranding for Lanier, an office
automation provider. I was surprised and
delighted by Elizabeth's visual fluency, craft,
and imagination. Apparently, the client was
as well and bought her first idea in the first
round of reviews. At the time it seemed like
a rare alignment of the planets but Elizabeth
has continued to zoom straight into the
heart of complex designprojects and deliver
elegant, complete, and durable solutions
with seeming ease (of which I'm only a little
bit jealous). lf that wasn't enough she is the
consummate down-to-last-detail
professional and a supportive colleague to
seasoned vets and newcomers alike. I can
safely say that one of the highlights of my
career is having Elizabeth as collaborator
and friend.
Rhonda Geraci
Strategic Writer/Brand Consultant
Elizabeth has a beautiful sense of design
and an innovative marketing vision. I've had
the opportunity to work with her when our
clients and executive creative director had
extremely high expectations. I saw the
standards she held herself to in those times
and when creative and design times were
more respected. She exceeds expectations
with unexpected flair. I highly recommend
her.
Marla Loftus
Former CMO, Gibbes Museum of Art
After a thorough search for a designer to
lead the rebranding efforts at the venerable
Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston,
Executive Director Todd Smith and I
selected Elizabeth. It was not an easy task
rebranding a 150+ year old institution, but
Elizabeth did a fantastic job. Her ideas were
thoughtful, creative, and scalable. We were
so pleased with her recommendations and
responsiveness, that we retained her
services as an external Creative Director for
many years. Creating art around existing art
is a challenge for most designers, but
Elizabeth rose to the occasion. As a former
client, I am pleased to recommend
Elizabeth as both a strategic partner and
creative resource.
BA Albert
Founder, CCO at ba.agency
The shining light of Elizabeth is reflected in
everything she does and everyone she
meets with. Her enthusiasm for business
based creative solutions is contagious and
she brings that fire to everything she
touches. Fresh, smart, unexpected ideas are
her specialty. I have admired Elizabeth and
her work for years and believe she is the
type of creative that makes us all look good.
C Timothy Morris
CEO BridgeNet Insurance
Elizabeth is a very creative and
knowledgeable website designer. She
listens and responds quickly and does so in
a high valued way. I have used her on
several projects and found her work
exceptional and would do so again.
Evan Jones
Senior Director, Cushman & Wakefield
Elizabeth Hall is the best I've ever met in the
world of Design and Branding. I've had the
pleasure to know her for many years, and
she's the absolute best. Creative, witty, and
intelligent, Elizabeth knows her stuff. She's
capable of driving Branding projects and
managing change in the largest of
organizations, while having the agility and
sensitivity to work effectively with "small
brands" and the unique challenges they
face. She has a unique ability in guiding any
client through the strategic creative process,
while helping them avoid common pitfalls.
Any organization will be fortunate to have
Elizabeth on their team ... if you are lucky
enough to get her!
Peggy Redfern
Freelance Creative Art Director
Elizabeth has lots of talent and lots of
enthusiasm for the business. She's a great
designer and art director with an eye for
detail that you don't see much these days.
Plus, she's fun to work with!
Chad David Shearer
Owner, Caren West PR
Elizabeth is one of the most genuine and
giving people I have ever had the
opportunity to work with. She hired me
straight out of ad school and mentored my
growth as a writer and creative thinker in
ways that I still see benefits in today. She
elevates any situation she immerses herself
in, and if there is ever an opportunity to
work with her- I jump at it.
