Who We Are
Justin Allen and Brooke Hall are a husband and wife creative team looking for the most interesting projects we can find. We founded our first creative agency, Brooke Hall Creative, in 2009. In four years, we grew by leaps and bounds from a one-woman shop to a full-service agency. In 2010, we launched What Weekly Magazine, which has fast become one of the most popular media outlets in Baltimore. To bring it all home in 2013, we rebranded Brooke Hall Creative as What Works Studio. We believe that friends, family and community are important and we’re passionate about living, learning, and making the most of every moment. We'd like to leave the world a little better than how we found it.
