Plum Media is honored to be recognized for a second year as one of the 2017 Best Places to Work by the Milwaukee Business Journal. Each company was evaluated on employee engagement, teamwork, retention, job satisfaction and more. 

Pre-season is over. Are you ready for some action? We’re kicking off the football season by introducing our team (below). Let’s toss some ideas around. It’s all about making forward progress and coming up with a winning strategy. We’ll bring our A game.

What I Learned My First Few Weeks at Plum

Upon graduating from college, I chose to take a bite out of Plum Moving Media and conquer the video production world. Since starting my job as Digital Production Assistant here, I realize Plum has added a sweetness to my life that I did not know I was missing. Thanks to the entire staff, I have come to find the real world, is really not that bad, and that working has its benefits (like unlimited access to a bowl of peanut M&MS).

Three weeks of experience under my belt has not magically transformed me into a perfectly seasoned professional yet; however, thanks to advice passed along from my fellow coworkers, I have already gained some invaluable life lessons. These lessons can apply to both office newbies and long-term media professionals alike.

Making it memorable, Plum Moving Media added its 20^th staff person as it approaches its 20^th anniversary.  We welcome full-time employee Colleen Black to our growing team. Black is a 2016 Marquette University Digital Media graduate who interned with Plum during her senior year.

Every now and then, a shoot comes along with extra significance.

Thanks to Snap-on Incorporated we had the privilege to see and document firsthand an Honor Flight. Plum’s cameras traveled to Washington D.C. to follow a contingent of Korean and Vietnam war veterans as they beheld their memorials. Very nobly, Snap-on sponsors honor flights for their retirees and active associates who served in Vietnam, Korea and WWII.

LET'S KICKOFF SUMMER!!  

It's finally summer here in Wisconsin (although a little chilly as I write this post) and we've been working hard on some incredible Plum projects. We hope you find some inspiration here for your next live event or video project. Here's the skim:

• Events & Meetings:
  • Unleash the power of your sales channel with a memorable recognition event
• Videos: 
  • Real Fun: Our Wisconsin State Park Story
  • VERUS® Edge Diagnostic and Information System
  • Celebrating a hero with the Red Cross of Southeast Wisconsin 

I used to watch "Lost" every week. Couldn’t wait for the next "30 Rock." And when the next episode from "Glove & Boots" appears on YouTube, you know I’ll devour it right away.

Episodic content is addictive. We get comfortable with the characters, locations and format in a particular show, and we want more!

Mostly holiday related.

This inspired us to create our own #badstock holiday footage starring all your favorite Plum characters:
