The developer revealed today that it’s promoting Tom Hall to vice president of creative and to co-head of the entire studio. In these new positions, Hall will oversee the PlayFirst’s game design and art departments. He will also work closely with fellow co-head Becky Ann Hughes, who also acts as the company’s vice president of product and marketing.
