Building a name for your business involves more than offering great products and services. It requires successful representation in the media. When it comes to public perception, a quality ad equals a quality business. How do you want to be represented? HDV founder Richard Hartwell has produced ads for many of the North’s largest advertisers. As the former production manager of a national cable advertising company in northern Michigan, Hartwell knows how to position the unique selling points of your business on-screen. And, as a graduate of the University of Michigan in film and English, he is well-versed in the creative techniques that give a production a sophisticated look and resonant message.

In 2004, Hartwell Digital Video was among only 3 production companies from the state of Michigan to win a Telly Award in the Commercial Category, (TV 7 Detroit and J. Walter Thompson were also awarded). The Telly Awards is an international competition honoring outstanding local, regional and cable commercials and programs. Richard Hartwell shared the honor with broadcast audio producer Bill Vogel of Vogel Sound as well as Mike Harrington of Harrington Group Advertising who conceived and authored the winning ad. The 30 second commercial, "Tallberg Respect 2004," (shot and edited by Hartwell) was judged by industry experts and former Telly, Clio and Emmy Award winners.
