Ivy Hoffman
Advocate for a North Carolina State Public Affairs Network
Jill has always exhibited a level of energy and creativity that knows no bounds. APT
clients showed their appreciation of her ability to develop project concepts that not only
reached the intended audience with the right message, but were also conceived in an
original and imaginative way by returning to APT for additional service. Jills knowledge
of video and audio production techniques, along with an innate creativity, has resulted
in award-winning productions year after year. Jills sales and marketing efforts, along
with her extraordinary capacity to produce results for clients, were key factors in APTs
success. She has a wonderful way with clients, listening to their needs and then shaping
a production proposal guaranteed to exceed their expectations. Among Jills many
strengths is the fact that she is a strategic thinker, as well as a highly creative, talented
individual. She looks for ways to push the envelope with new creative concepts and
techniques; she is also a collaborator who seeks opportunities to break the mold. Jill is
dedicated and determined. These qualities made her a successful APT employee for all
these years and will serve her well in her next position. March 13, 2012, Ivy managed Jill

No one can manage multiple creative projects fraught with detail and deadlines the
way Jill can. She has contracted with me for design services on several different pieces
for print, broadcast, and the web, and in all cases Ive come away utterly impressed with
her ability to juggle so much at once. Weve always been as on time and on budget as
it was humanly possible to be, no matter how many last-minute things pop up. I cant
imagine a project -- or an organization -- that wouldnt benefit from her
comprehensive skill set and unerring sense of how to get things done. She is truly an
asset to the creative process -- efficient, effective, and marvelously unsinkable.
