LOS ANGELES — She’s described as a “highly respected studio and streaming executive” who has spent the past four years at Amazon Studios/Prime Video, where she served as Director of Original Series Publicity.
Now, she is back at CBS Studios, taking the role of EVP of Communications.
Kristen Hall is taking the role.
She will report to EVP/Communications Chris Ender, while working closely with David Stapf, President of CBS Studios.
Hall will oversee all publicity and communications strategies for CBS Studios and will lead a communications team that supports a portfolio of more than 60 series in production across broadcast, cable and streaming, including many series for the CBS Television Network and Paramount+.
“Having Kristen return ‘home’ to head our communications operation is a four-year dream come true,” Stapf said. “The experience she gained during those years only enhances her superior skills in leading our world-class publicity team. Kristen’s rare combination of creativity, passion and smarts makes her beloved by the press and creative community. Everyone, from producers, executives and talent was elated that she was returning to CBS Studios.”
Ender added, “Kristen elevates every single business and show campaign she touches with creativity, positivity, thoughtful strategy and big ideas. She has an amazing passion for the business and its artistic process along with a clear vision for how it works together with publicity and earned media to help drive success. There were many, many happy faces in the halls the day Kristen returned to CBS earlier this month.”
Prior to joining Amazon, Ms. Hall spent 14 years at CBS Television Studios (now called CBS Studios). She oversaw and grew the “NCIS” franchise, and relaunched the “Star Trek” franchise for CBS All Access (now Paramount+).
