HALKINART SOCIAL MEDIA CAMPAIGN
We launched HALKINART with a series of short videos on Instagram and Facebook, each designed to draw viewers in. Every piece centers the garment, with contrasting locations and vibrant music shaping its story. These videos go beyond visuals — they’re an experience built to engage and intrigue.

A King in the Neighborhood
This video was inspired by the artist’s beloved feline companion, Gumpy, who has since crossed the rainbow bridge. A mischievous wanderer at heart, Gumpy moved through the world with curiosity and ease. The Crain-hook hat is used symbolically, a nod to the absurdity of the art world, adding a layer of humor and contrast to this quiet tribute.
Presentation COVER
ARCEE AI asked for a magazine style cover for their annual white paper presentation.
About
Margaret Halkin
I’m a multidisciplinary producer and visual storyteller working across unscripted television, commercial photography, live events, and digital content. My work includes casting and producer-led production for unscripted television projects for networks including ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, HGTV, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Video.
Inventive, resourceful, and collaborative by nature, I bring a blend of imaginative and practical perspective across advertising, television, and event production. I build ideas from scratch or guide them cleanly from concept to execution, especially in fast-moving, collaborative environments.
My work is grounded in strong convictions; loyalty, authenticity, and reciprocity matter to me. I’m known for putting others at ease, creating space for bold ideas, and keeping projects focused on what needs to resonate. Adaptable and a little scrappy when needed, I’m drawn to work with an edge that reflects the truth of a moment, approaching challenges with curiosity and humor while turning momentum into meaningful results.
