The interactive program also guides participants in building their own personal brands and presentation to create lasting impressions and connections.

Roffer’s core belief is that entertainment should be leveraged for a greater good. Building on this belief, she has received accolades for developing community outreach programs like Lifetime’s “Women Rock” a concert event designed to raise awareness for breast cancer issues; CNN’s “Your Choice Your Voice” high school-based election promotion; FSN’s “Reading All-Stars” literacy campaign; “History’s “Save Our History” which raised money and awareness for the World War II Memorial; and Comedy Central’s "Comedy RX,” a hospital-based program promoting the healing powers of laughter. In 1996, when branding was just beginning to take hold on the Internet, Roffer partnered with the legendary Brandon Tartikoff to create several Web sites for AOL and consulted with IBM to write the brand strategies for NHL.com and PGA.com. Today, her company builds sites and drives Web traffic for many top entertainment brands. Roffer's branding education went into high gear in 1988 when she became TNT’s Manager of Creative Services. There she crafted advertising campaigns designed to create awareness for TNT's original movies. Later she directed affiliate-aimed advertising and promotion for CNN, Headline News, TNT and TBS. Roffer left Turner in 1992 to start Big Fish Marketing. With her former employer among her first clients, she struck out on her own with industry insider experience and an entertainment point-of-view. Today her client roster includes over 25 television networks, a global cosmetics company and several insurance and investment firms. Roffer divides her time between Santa Fe, New Mexico and Los Angeles, California, where she lives and works with her husband Steven and the apple of their eye, daughter Roxanne.
