Bob Goff

As one of Minnesota’s first public relations practitioners, Bob Goff was active in government and business communications in the state for more than 50 years until his retirement.

Goff Public is Bob’s vision of a fully integrated public relations and government affairs firm – something which distinguishes Goff Public from other practitioners in Minnesota.

Bob was recognized throughout his career for his commanding presence in Minnesota’s government affairs scene.  Minnesota Law & Politics magazine named Bob one of Minnesota’s top lobbyists and one of “Minnesota’s 100 Smartest People.”  He was honored with Saint Cloud State University’s Distinguished Alumni Award in 2007.

The Goff name has been associated with government and business communications for more than 45 years. The roots of Goff Public date back to 1966 when Bob cofounded an advertising firm called Coleman and Goff Advertising.  Because several of its clients couldn’t afford expensive ad campaigns, the firm began pitching stories about these clients to newspapers.  Coleman and Goff Advertising became one of the first public relations firms in the Twin Cities.

Before starting his own business, Bob held senior positions in two gubernatorial administrations.  He is a veteran strategist of numerous gubernatorial, congressional, legislative, and Saint Paul mayoral campaigns.  He has also served as an advisor to many public officials and business leaders.
