With over sixteen years in the digital and broadcast media field, Scott launched original series promotions for Starz Entertainment, including 360 campaigns for Black Sails, Party Down, Magic City, Spartacus, Hollywood Residential and Crash. He has also had the pleasure of writing, directing, editing and producing for Outdoor Channel, Leopard Advertising, Engine7 Media and Impossible Pictures.

He's worked with agencies including Rocket, Play Creative TV, Empire, Ant Farm and Troika.

Scott has written and produced numerous award winning promotions including the 2013 best interactive digital app for Spartacus: Battle for Nuceria, as well as Devil's Night and the Small Talk children's campaign. Writing and directing for Dennis Hopper, Seth Rogen, Ludacris, Harry Belafonte, Kevin Hart, Jennifer Connolly, Liam McIntyre, Henry Rollins and Dressy Bessy. And when he can't direct, he calls on the likes of Claudio Miranda, Daniel Marracino, and Kevin Emmons to help him out.

"I am very pleased to have the opportunity to recommend Scott Hays. In a business overflowing with pretenders and wannabe's Scott is the "real deal". His professionalism and work ethic is second to none. Not only is he a guy that truly gets it, he is super creative and insanely detailed oriented. Nothing gets by Scott, but more importantly, he understands the nuances and challenges of working with creatives one minute, and executives the next. It is not often one gets the chance to work with someone of his calibre. I sincerely look forward to the next time we get to work together!"

"Scott was and always will be a creative genius when it comes to finding just the right tone a promo needs to get the job done. I've witnessed many times when he would suggest a professional music track that did the trick for me, even if it wasn't always what others thought the spot needed."
