As story consultants, HKO Media helps clients identify and then find the best way to communicate their own distinctive content and themes. As video producers, we create award-winning, high-impact productions for broadcast, DVD distribution, and use on Web sites. For example: Oakland University is ranked by the Princeton Review as "one of the best Midwestern colleges in the country". HKO Media produced SEE WHAT ALL THE EXCITEMENT IS ABOUT to exemplify the endless opportunities and possibilities available to students and faculty. The University of Michigan's Office of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Affairs asked HKO Media to create a promotional and educational video intended to trigger conversations on campus about gender identity and gender expression. The result was IT'S WHO YOU ARE, a brief but compelling exploration of one of the most misunderstood and yet timely issues facing students, faculty, and the community at large. Oakland University's Annual Fund e-Solicitation is a fundraising video that was sent out via e-mail to all OU alums celebrating 50 years of innovation and opportunity. This video demonstrates HKO's use of text combined with compelling music and graphics to deliver a message and sell a story. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan's WALKING THE DISTANCE introduces Jodi Davis whose remarkable 162 lb. weight loss is a story that offers inspiration and hope to others seeking a safer, healthier lifestyle. This video was used to help support the Blues' latest wellness and prevention campaign. The University of Michigan's Hopwood Awards are the most prestigious awards given to college students for creative writing. CELEBRATING HOPWOOD: 75 YEARS OF WRITING WORTH READING is the award-winning video produced by HKO Media in honor of the life and work of famed playwright Avery Hopwood and the 75-year history of the program named after him.
