Douglas Hall
Director of Digital/Virtual Services | Creator of D. Advocate & Associates
With a rich background in programming, promoting, and producing live entertainment, as well as his experience in building and operating new media and virtual experience start-ups, it is no wonder Douglas Hall has become the go-to expert for navigating digital virtual transformations for organizations, teams, and individuals. In January of 2020, Hall stepped away from an executive role in the virtual events market, to create D. Advocate & Associates.
Advocate's mission to help individuals and organizations grow and ultimately scale via a human-centric approach to digital and virtual strategy was well-timed and deeply needed when the Covid-19 pandemic reared its ugly head only months after Advocate's launch. Since then, Doug has been dedicated to helping others brave this new virtual world with a simple and sincere approach to adopting technology as a tool rather than an alternative.
