The Story Behind Hallpass
Founder Ryan McNeill started his career in the thick of Madison Avenue, working on campaigns for major brands like Chrysler and General Mills. But it was his transition into TV and film that changed everything.
As a producer on the Emmy-winning documentary series Deadliest Catch, Ryan discovered the power of authentic storytelling. This led him to Los Angeles, where he spent years directing and creating content for major label artists, world-class athletes, and global brands—learning the insider strategies these powerhouses use to capture attention and drive action.
After witnessing firsthand how the biggest names in entertainment and business tell their stories, Ryan founded Hallpass to bring these same proven strategies to organizations ready to break through the noise.
Beyond Hallpass
Ryan is also a partner in Anecdotal Media, a specialized marketing agency serving nonprofits, and has built a following of over 250,000 people through his social media content about marketing psychology.
Our Approach
We don't just create marketing—we create movements. Every campaign starts with understanding what makes your audience lean in, not tune out. Then we craft content that doesn't just get seen, but gets remembered, shared, and acted upon.
