May 2008[edit]

I think the article sticks to the facts...

Is there something specifically that warrants it for deletion? There are a lot of mentions of awards, but they have won a lot of awards that are very notable in the industry that deserve mention in the history section. It's not like I called them "Hoffman, an award winning PR agency." But as I run through the company timeline, one would be remiss not to mention these few. —Preceding unsigned comment added by David44357 (talk • contribs) 21:21, 12 May 2008

References[edit]

The ideal reference would be an article from a reliable source about the company as a whole, rather than about some incident or "secrets of success". --Eastmain (talk) 23:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All that pesky policy stuff[edit]

Restoring unsourced edits and adding sources to corporate websites and non-notable websites like Brand Republic are not enough to remove the tags for sourcing. The article may have survived an AfD, but its content did not acquire immunity from editing or meeting Wikipedia standards. Please source edits per WP:RS and take a long, serious look at WP:COI and WP:SPAM. Ditto for Hoffman client articles, but who'd be that stupid? Flowanda | Talk 01:55, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Added References[edit]

Just cleaned up some of the marketing jargon and added several secondary references about the company in general, its clientele, timeline and growth. Through language cleanup and reliable sourcing, I'm trying to make this article neutral. I think the fact that it survived an AfD speaks to why this subject deserves to be covered. What specifically needs to be added to remove the COI flag? Ha us 70 (talk) 01:26, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

introduce links to this page[edit]

Noticed there are no page linking to this wiki, so I think we can introduce links from relevant wikis. Ha us 70 (talk) 00:28, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The Hoffman Agency Europe including the Germany office filed for bankrupcy on February 5, 2009. There are talks under way by founder Lou Hoffman to buy back the European companies.

Advert[edit]

I'm seeing a lot of content here that seems to be published with an intent to advertise products/pages on their own website. Does anyone else concur? PubHobbyst (talk) 14:11, 29 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've rm a lot of WP:PROMO from the 'Storytelling' portion of the page. I am going to remove the 'Advertising' template that currently exists there at this time. If you disagree with this decision, please contact me on my talk page. PubHobbyst (talk) 14:12, 5 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
