Hall remained in the job until May 2000 when he then joined Hello! magazine as editor and later was appointed Editorial Director of Development at Trinity Mirror, before moving into PR consultancy.[3]

He founded PHA Media in 2005, specialising in areas of PR including crisis and campaign management, personal profile building, media relations and more recently, digital communications.
