Before Risdall:
Before joining the team at RMG, Phil Hoeschen worked for 3M as a Web/Flash Developer. Earlier in his career he worked for Treefort, Hybrid Medical Animation and Charthouse Learning.
Notable Risdall Achievements:
GoGirl, a female urination device that enables women to pee standing up needed a method of demonstrating the new product they were introducing. This product has a high level of sensitivity and privacy. The way the demo communicated the use and features of the product was tactful, short and to the point. This demo continues to add value to the communication of the product and more over, the GoGirl brand.
While working with Risdall to have their website rebranded and rebuilt, Teeter needed a way to allow the users of their website to find what product best fit their needs through a series of questions. As a result, the Teeter Product Finder was created and produced in a short amount of time to meet the deadline of the project.
Risdall awarded their own Ivey award to marketing creatives in the Twin Cities theater community. Utilizing 3D animation, video compositing and Flash experience, Phil helped create a website with an animated homepage to gather entries for this award.
