Green Bay Entrepreneur Enjoys Continued Success in Digital Media Realm

Scott Koffarnus launched his first business Freshpaintdigital™ in Green Bay in 2003. The business quickly earned recognition as a leader in the digital media industry and in 2008 Koffarnus added a second business Cineviz, providing interactive brand experiences and advanced visual display technologies like gestural and multi-touch. Together these companies combine innovative thinking with digital technology to create unique promotional brand experiences for big-name national and international companies including Tyco, Intel, Symantec, Nickelodeon and Verizon.

To gain the expertise he needed to strategically grow his businesses, Koffarnus attended the Entrepreneur Training Program at the Wisconsin Small Business Development Center (SBDC) at UW-Green Bay.

“We went through the Entrepreneurial Training Program which helped in writing the business plan,” says Koffarnus, who worked primarily with SBDC business counselor Chuck Brys. “Chuck has been great in helping me to focus and giving me advice on expanding.”

“Any company going through a growth term, especially in a time like this, has to be very careful. Little mistakes can cause a lot of damage.”
