Multimedia production and engagement
We use video, photography, and social media to foster dialogue, build awareness, communicate ideas, and inspire change.

Video training and curriculum development
We provide video and digital storytelling training, encompassing all stages in the video production process.

Youth engagement
We use multimedia as a public education tool, integrating youth-based participatory and collaborative video work into engagement strategies.

Needs assessments and implementation strategies
We conduct qualitative needs assessments, evaluate project and organizational impacts, and write implementation strategies.

Hallenbeck Consultants has developed a unique video-making process for planning and engagement, enabling project participants to become advocates for change.

Collaborate  Our seven-step collaborative video process enables clients and project participants to develop new skills, engage in dialogue, and strengthen connections to complex policy decisions.

Integrate Our multimedia and engagement strategies are integrated into larger engagement and planning processes. We deliver qualitative and quantitative outputs with goals that are consistent with broader engagement strategies.

Change Our distinctive collaborative approach strengthens connections between people, communities, and policy. Participants take ownership over their ideas and bring them forward, advocating for change.

It was a true pleasure working with Jessica Hallenbeck. She really listened to our needs and ideas and implemented them in a professional, creative and technically knowledgeable manner. She is a team player who blended in well and discreetly to our events and meetings. Her service provided all the technical know how and support but allowed our video productions to be our own.”

Jessica Hallenbeck is the type of mentor that provides empowerment to youth by ensuring they are able to reach their full potential. Her knowledge, professionalism, personality, and undeniable passion for the work that she does makes me look forward to working with her every time. Most of all, Jessica is able to model her ethics and values within her work. I owe Jessica much gratitude for her dedicated hard work towards youth like me and with the community.

Jessica is a talented editor that can deliver a stunning video, and a fabulous support for youth, listening for their passion and lead in what they want to say. Jessica works well with all members of the team, and skillfully helped us finish a community video that we are very proud of, both its beauty and its message. Her commitment and integrity around working in communities makes her a highly valuable team member, someone we can trust in any situation. I look forward to an opportunity to work with Jessica again.”
