Miller & Associates

This Minneapolis-based social services agency, which works with teenagers, underwent a branding and marketing makeover at the beginning of 2010.  Nexus sought a video production company to create four marketing videos for their revamped website (www.nexustreatment.org), and two welcoming videos for new employees.  After an extensive search, Nexus hired Miller & Associates to produce these six videos.  Interviews were conducted and b-roll was shot at five Nexus locations in Minnesota and Illinois over the course of two months.

"We had a big project – produce six high-quality recruitment and promotional videos in two states; complete the project within a tight ten-week timeframe; and stick to a firm budget.  Glenn’s expertise enabled us to define our project goals and tell our story.  He coordinated, directed, and produced excellent videos that were delivered on time and under budget!   An added bonus – Glenn is a pleasure to work with and his approach to the project was professional on all levels.  We’ll use him again."

The Connecticut-based Cunneen Company had been hired by a Minnesota-based non-profit organization to determine if there was sufficient support among its stakeholders to undertake a $3-million capital campaign.  Glenn was hired on a contract basis to oversee the feasibility study which incorporated multiple on-site interviews and culminated in a 30-page detailed written report. 

"The study was well conducted and the report was well organized, professionally written and delivers outstanding value to our client. Working with Glenn has been a real pleasure and it is an experience I hope to repeat often in the future!"

Between 1999 and 2007, Glenn worked closely with ResCap's marketing and communications groups to produce annual and quarterly all-employee meetings aimed at live audiences of 1,500 and remote international audiences (via satellite downlinks and webstreams) of 5,000.  Each of these 90-minute meetings incorporated rich themes, original set designs and construction, numerous video roll-ins, professional talent and senior executive direction, opening and transitional animated graphics, and extensive post-production.  Video shoots occurred throughout the United States and the UK.

“I have had the pleasure to work with Glenn since 1994 in various capacities at 3M, Imation, Kodak and GMAC. He has a unique talent to quickly "mesh" vision with a viable and effective end user message. I've enlisted him in the production of videos, and to produce our national sales meeting award dinners. He's an expert interviewer always putting his interviewee at ease. Through my work with him he was able to put radiologists, mortgage brokers, CEOs, and executive management, in a position which makes them feel comfortable and credible in conveying a strong message to a variety of audiences. Glenn is enjoyable to work with because he is a good listener. He makes it a point to know the audience and know the customer, and makes suggestions which are easy to incorporate in products which have a major impact on our company image.”

The client wanted to create a series of pages within their website that truly communicated what life was like as a "Tommie."  We created a highly-interactive site incorporating a series of 20 2-minute videos which gave prospective students a sense of UST's academics, dorm-life, student activities, and athletics.  Services offered:  creative direction, scripting, in-field camera direction, post-production, website programming.

During the late 1990's, Glenn was the Producer of two satellite-delivered telecasts for PBS's for-profit arm, The Business Channel, Harvey Mackay's "Dig Your Well Before You're Thirsty," and "Y2K: The Challenge for Corporations."  Both 90-minute programs were internationally satellite-delivered, featuring presentations, panel discussions, and live interactivity via call-ins and emails.

"I’ve worked with many producers over the years and Glenn was one of the best. He was fun to work with, creative and masterful at handling every detail of some very complicated productions. His crew loved working with him as did our famous (big-ego) subject matter experts. In addition, I marveled at the way Glenn was able to synthesize a great deal of information into understandable nugget.  He made me look good and for that, I will always be grateful!"
