Defining communications broadly to include thought leadership, digital marketing, and paid media as well as traditional PR, The Hoffman Agency knows how to differentiate brands and drive sales. With a heritage in the technology sector, the firm’s work today cuts across a range of industries.

The Agency cultivates “connection” through various means like Work-Away-From-Work week in the U.S. that finished with a Spring party.

While campaigns vary by client and industry, all share one theme: the creation of content that reflects the tenets of storytelling. This means developing narratives that prompt journalists to write and target audiences to read—a far cry from the “corporate speak” that satisfies internal stakeholders. The firm applies this same mentality to its talent acquisition and marketing services. The firm is increasingly helping non-tech companies tell tech-led stories.

For clients with global needs, the company operates in Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. Unlike traditional agencies handicapped by their silo structure, The Hoffman Agency embraces a collaborative approach to implementing multi-country campaigns (don’t worship individual office P/L). This leverage of content and thinking across geographies ultimately generates better results.

Clients Include: Alteryx, ASML, Avetta, Axis Communications, Baidu, City of Fremont, Diligent, Georgia Tech, Lam Research, Lightship RV, Moloco, New Relic, Nokia, Nutanix, Oracle, Rambus, Skyworks, SuperMicro, Synopsys, Tealium, TSMC, Twitch, Twitter, Universal Displays, Veeam, Visa, XCharge Energy and Zoom.
