Awards, Webisodes, Studio, and More

Telly Awards

Hoffman Communications, Inc. received four prestigious Telly Awards honoring the very best in regional video and film production. Coveted Silver Tellys were awarded for “Live Well”, produced for Mayo Clinic and for “Surgery Department Videos”, produced for Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of MN.

A Bronze Telly was awarded to Hoffman for its work on, “Ittibitz”, produced for Kemps and “Mission: Pretty Darn difficult” produced for Woodbury Financial Services.

Star Award

Hoffman was also recognized by the Minneapolis-St. Paul Chapter of the International Special Event society (ISES) with a 2007 Minnesota Star award for “Best Event Technical Production” and was nominated in the “Best Event Logistics” category.

ISES goes to great lengths to maintain the highest standard for the ISES Minnesota Star Awards and to ensure that the judging process is accurate and fair.

Each fall, entries are submitted to a third-party law firm to ascertain that all basic requirements and rules are met, and that the entrants remain anonymous. This year, the entries went directly to the ISES New England Chapter for judging. The three receiving the highest total point score in their category became nominees and the highest scoring entry was named the winner.

The entries were then returned directly to the law firm who notified the ISES planning committee of the results. The names of the winners remained sealed and were known only to the law firm and the company supplying the trophies. The law firm created and sealed winner envelopes, and supplied them to the ISES planning team on the day of the event.

Coming soon to a computer screen near you: Hoffman – The Movie.

This month, Hoffman Communications begins production on a series of ‘slice-of-life’ vignettes that we’ll stream on our Web site. As you watch these 30-second “Webisodes,” you’ll laugh… you’ll cry… you’ll wonder why you’re not doing even more business with us, given our creativity and amazing range of services. Each vignette has a famous movie line embedded in it. If you identify the line, and the movie it’s from, you’ll be eligible for our grand prize of a yearlong trip around the world. Or, if your boss won’t allow that, you’ll be eligible for a fine meal at a downtown Minneapolis restaurant with one of our even finer AEs. Stay tuned…


Hoffman Meets the JW Marriott, Desert Springs in Palm Desert, California

In just three days, Hoffman produced a welcome reception, two general sessions, dozens of breakouts, a vendor show with over 100 exhibitors, and three awards banquets! All of it in the middle of the desert, thousands of miles from Hoffman’s headquarters. This type of event requires months of logistical planning and strategic event design as well as three semi-trucks including everything from turf tabletops to several 12,000 lumen projectors.

This fabulous hotel features more than 210,000 sq ft of event space including a 25,000 sq. ft. ballroom. Two large ballrooms and a pavilion also offer great flexibility for corporate events. In just 48 hours Hoffman transformed one of the ballrooms from a business meeting to a vendor tradeshow and finally, to an awards banquet! The loading docks at this facility are conveniently located and directly attached to the ballrooms, decreasing labor call times, and there were many rigging points, allowing for exceptional layout and ballroom design.A beautiful location in any part of the world and Hoffman as your event production company is a terrific combination and results in an unforgettable experience!

Hoffman Remote Studio – Your Window to the World

Several times a month, Hoffman receives requests from all over the world for ‘live shots’, which are interviews you see on network news programs. The Hoffman remote studio features a fiber-optic connection that sends and receives video at the speed of light to almost anywhere in the world. Last month, studio guests appeared on CNN, CNBC, MSNBC, CSPAN and Democracy Now! and discussed topics ranging from the war in Iraq to natural gas supplies. A live shot was also delivered to Australian Broadcasting for their version of Dateline, which on their side is always tomorrow!
