On August 31st, 2017, Plum Media officially moved from our offices in the Third Ward to a newly renovated building located on St. Paul Avenue in the Menomonee Valley.

One of the highlights of the Plum Media building that makes it so versatile for video production is our 1000 square foot in house state of the art production studio.

For the third year in a row, Plum Media has been recognized by the Milwaukee Business Journal as one of the 2018 Best Places to Work.

It will be featured alongside nine other short films during the opening night screening.

As part of any good recruitment effort, there must be a strategy behind the process. As you start, prioritize a few areas you want to focus on. First and foremost, a recruiting video should communicate what's unique about your company through the office, people and location.

When someone mentions puppets, what do you think of? Mayhem and explosions on "The Muppet Show?" Cows and sheep breaking into song on "Sesame Street?" Me too! I’ve been a puppeteer and fan for years, never expecting that these lumps of felt and foam would make inroads into my working world. Yet puppets can grab attention and convey information, even in serious fields like medicine.

So, why puppets?
