Joe Hall founded Hall Strategies in 2004 following a decade as a partner at The Ingram Group. He specializes in media and government relations.

As a former newspaper reporter and the coordinator of dozens of statewide campaigns, Joe knows the Tennessee media, business and government landscape better than anyone in the business. He has played key roles in signature campaigns to help keep the NHL Predators in Nashville, help Memphis get an NBA franchise, build FedExForum and to create Tennessee’s public charter schools program.

His client experience include the Nashville Predators, Anheuser-Busch Companies, Enbridge, Metropolitan Nashville Airport Authority, Live Nation Entertainment, Nashville Capital Network, Greater Nashville Realtors, Nashville Convention & Visitors Corporation, Tennessee Performing Arts Center, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum and Brookfield Properties.

A native Memphian, Joe was a reporter for The Commercial Appeal and Nashville Business Journal. He serves on the Nashville Downtown Partnership Board of Directors and executive committee and is a former member of the Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce Board of Governors. Nashville Post has regularly named Joe to its “In Charge” list of Middle Tennessee business, political and civic power brokers.
