Jennifer Hellman serves dual roles at Goff Public. As a principal, Jennifer puts her 14 years of experience in public relations and public affairs to work for our clients, developing strategies that incorporate community relations, media relations, social media, and employee communications.

She counsels clients in crisis situations and helps them take advantage of media opportunities and minimize their risk. Jennifer also conducts spokesperson and media training seminars.

In addition to her client work, Jennifer sets the overall direction for client activities as Goff Public’s chief operating officer. Jennifer ensures that clients work with the right mix of Goff Public professionals and receive timely, high-quality products and services. She balances and develops the expertise of the Goff Public staff to ensure that the company can serve the current and future public relations and public affairs needs of our clients.

Jennifer serves in leadership roles outside of Goff Public as well.  She has been involved in developing content for the Saint Paul Area Chamber of Commerce’s Leadership Saint Paul program for three years and was the 2011 program chair.  She also serves on the boards of the chamber’s Foundation, the Minnesota Retailers Association, and the Greater Twin Cities Youth Symphonies.

She was also part of the 2009-2010 class of Leadership Minnesota through the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. In these capacities, she contributes to conversations on statewide issues and networks with business leaders across the state to enhance her knowledge of trends and issues that impact our clients.

Jennifer’s portfolio of client work includes integrating the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe’s public affairs and public relations efforts. She works closely with the Band’s lobbyists to share consistent messages to both legislators and the public and to support the lobbyists’ efforts with public relations tactics.

She also counsels the Band’s casinos – Grand Casino Mille Lacs and Grand Casino Hinckley – to help them take advantage of media opportunities and manage crisis situations.

In addition, Jennifer provides media and public relations strategies to several other diverse clients, from Flint Hills Resources, which owns and operates refineries, chemical plants, and ethanol plants, to Holiday Companies, a convenience store franchise with more than 450 stores located in 10 states.

Jennifer often mentors college students interested in pursuing careers in public relations and public affairs. By engaging with currents students, Jennifer hopes to develop young talent that will become the future leaders of the industry.

As a graduate of Saint Olaf College (Northfield, MN), Jennifer is an active alumnus. She and her husband (also an Ole) live in Inver Grove Heights, where they are raising two young sons (future Oles?).
