Hoffman’s studio lights have been burning brightly lately, with our busiest quarter of satellite uplinks and in-studio productions behind us. Clients appreciate our studio’s location on the northwest side of downtown Minneapolis, as well as the easy street-level parking. The studio’s size allows for great flexibility for almost any type of production, from panel discussions to new product demonstration launches, to role-playing training videos.

Our Itasca space includes a 35’ x 25’ studio; fiber connectivity; a green screen wall; three cameras; separate control, lighting and video rooms; and a green room/waiting area. While we pride ourselves on our equipment and the people who operate them, we are firmly grounded in reality. One client recently told us, “We loved our in-studio experience with Hoffman, especially the croissants and coffee you provided at the top of the day!” Yes, well…always good to keep things in perspective.

Where in the World is Hoffman? Answer: Home Turf

Jet-setting to different meetings and event locations around the world is one of Hoffman’s favorite hobbies. However, we don’t forget the importance of making our mark in our beloved Twin Cities.

First stop on the tour is Eden Prairie, home of our purple and gold Minnesota Vikings. Hoffman was the first to rig equipment in their football field house. Winter Park never sounded so good!

The St. Paul Riverfront Corporation hosts the Millard Fillmore dinner every year to promote its projects and activities that continue to vitalize our state capitol. Hoffman’s three screen Keynote presentation and staging was fit for a king, or in this case, the mayor of St. Paul.

Finally, noteworthy supporters of the University of Minnesota Pediatrics Foundation wined and dined at The Depot in downtown Minneapolis. The twelfth annual Winefest raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for children and families in need of medical miracles.

Brush up on your geography and stay tuned for Hoffman’s next tour!

Fundraising Tool

The Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance (MOCA) wanted a fundraising tool which would effectively raise awareness of the organization, explain its mission and goals; and increase its fundraising results.

The organization turned to Hoffman’s Creative Services team to concept, script, shoot, and edit a DVD which accomplished those goals

The DVD was produced in time for “Calling All Angels,” a grassroots fundraising event scheduled for the last weekend in April. More than 14 parties were held across the state and more than 500 people viewed the DVD.

Since then, the DVD has been shown at MOCA’s annual meeting, attended by 150 people, including survivors, family members, friends, and members of the medical community. It is being shown to health care professionals who participate in MOCA education programs and health fairs.

“For a long time, we have wanted a DVD to showcase all that MOCA does. When looking for a company to produce it, we were impressed by the professionalism of Hoffman Communications”, said Kathleen Gavin. “I knew they would do a great job telling our story in a powerful way that would have an impact on the viewer, whether it is a survivor who wants more information about our organization or a corporation who is interested in partnership with us.”
