HKO Media's content- and thematically-driven approach to storytelling is distinctly multi-platform, spanning video, radio, print, and online media. To help maximize their own internal creative and production efforts, HKO clients often call on Harvey Ovshinsky and his team to serve as creative and story consultants. For example:

• hd Studios, a division of Grace & Wild, Inc. asked Harvey to consult on a video podcast produced by M. Seiden & Associates and Guest Productions for Alticor's Global Growth Conference. The podcast, titled "The Company Line," was loaded onto video iPods with several other videos and presented to each member of Alticor's top management attending the conference.
  
  The creative challenge was to find a way to communicate Alticor's key message that business would no longer be done 'as usual,' and that management was looking for innovation from all levels of employees. Rather than the typical executive message with B-roll, the producers asked Harvey to imagine a concept that would use lively animation to convey the lean towards the unconventional. According to director Lad Guest, "This video was a big hit! It was widely circulated throughout the corporation to much acclaim. From the first few frames, the audience knew this wasn't the typical corporate video."
  
  
• When Lutheran Social Services of Michigan wanted to create a new tag line to best describe its mission, the state's second largest social service organization called HKO Media to help facilitate the process. With Harvey's assistance, LSSM's team decided that their organization really was about: * Hope * Compassion * Solutions.
  
  
• When the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan Health System needed to find the best structure for their video on end of life care, executive producers Linda K. Strodtman, PhD, RN and Maureen M. Giacomazza, MA, BSN, RN, called on  HKO for advice. "We had an hour and a half rough cut for what needed to be a half-hour video and we were at a loss on how to make it more concise. HKO Media helped us find our focus and even gave us a new title, EVAN MAYDAY'S GOOD DEATH."
  
  
• The Detroit Medical Center called on HKO Media when it wanted to introduce its new branding campaign, CAMPUS OF BREAKTHROUGHS. The DMC needed help in finding the stories that could help show how patients and staff benefit from the DMC's partnership with the Wayne State School of Medicine.
  
  
• When the state legislature threatened to privatize the nonprofit Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, the Blues asked HKO Media to help "tell the story" of what life might be like for Michigan residents if the company was ever to become a for-profit enterprise.
  
  
• Just before a critical ballot initiative, the SMART Transit System asked Harvey and the HKO Media team to identify the characters and stories that could best communicate the absolute necessity for SMART to continue.
