As Goff Public celebrates 60 years, we’re revisiting projects that remind us of the power of teamwork — like CHS Field. ⚾🧢🌭

Eleven years ago, the gates opened on something bigger than a ballpark. The development of CHS Field helped spark new life in Lowertown, brought people together and created a new home for the St. Paul Saints Baseball.

Great projects don’t happen without a great team, and we’re grateful to have been part of the lineup that helped bring it to life!

The 2026 legislative session reached its first milestone last week as committees pushed toward combined first and second policy bill deadlines. Many issues won’t advance much beyond this point, particularly in divided government, but session is far from over.

Our public affairs team put together a mid-session update to shed light on the past few weeks and what they might tell us about how this session will end on May 18.

We are excited to announce that Ann E. Answers is returning to Team Goff! Before AI and TikTok were on the scene, we had Ann E. Answers — an employee with a lot of sass and advice about communication etiquette. Her advice might be a little outdated, but we look forward to getting her back up to speed!

As we celebrate our 60th anniversary, we’re looking back at the Saint Paul landmarks Goff Public has called home. Our journey began on the top floor of the historic Pioneer Building – the original headquarters of the Pioneer Press. In the 90s, we relocated to 255 Kellogg Blvd. E, placing us in the heart of Saint Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood, and giving us a front-row seat to the opening of CHS Field and the METRO Green Line. For the past eight years, Goff Public has been headquartered at UBS Plaza, just steps from the Ordway, Grand Casino Arena and the State Capitol. If you ever visit our creative office, you’ll even see the original sign from our Lowertown building!

To celebrate our 60th anniversary, we’re raising a glass to the two icons who started it all in 1966: Bob Goff and Nick Coleman. Goff Public began as a scrappy advertising agency built on their unique partnership that combined Nick’s fearless advocacy as a Minnesota State Senator and Majority Leader with Bob’s strategic brilliance as a former teacher and gubernatorial aide. Together, they served clients with unmatched grace and humor, establishing a legacy that continues to define our work six decades later.
