The Experience

It’s a normal lunch hour at Target Plaza. But then, the break room transforms.

Your team shouts song requests. They spin the Wheel of Genres.

Suddenly Bohemian Rhapsody becomes a polka and Sweet Caroline turns ragtime.

I work in shout-outs for anniversaries, promotions, and birthdays.

People film, laugh, and post: “You won’t believe what happened at work today.”

In 20–30 minutes, your office goes from “lunchtime” to “highlight of the week.”

Why Target Will Love It

  • Boost morale – makes coming into the office a highlight, not a chore.

  • Instant engagement – employees bond over a surprising shared moment.

  • Organic buzz – staff post to Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Facebook.

  • Social media content – optional collab video for Target’s IG or internal channels.

Why Target Will Love It

Today’s employees are content creators.

When they experience something remarkable at work, they share it.

Upside-down piano performances + Target’s culture = weeks of organic marketing.

📱 Instagram Stories: “You won’t believe what happened at work today!”

  4. You get the credit – as the hero who made it happen.

Bio

Nate Hance is a Twin Cities-based pianist, composer, and entertainer and a Minot, ND native. From a young age, Nate discovered a love of sharing the joy of music with others. As a shy kid, he was most comfortable sitting at the piano and connecting with people through music. He always knew he wanted to pursue a career in music, so he went to college for music composition at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. While there, he discovered a knack for performing and was selected to perform Britten's Piano Concerto with the Concordia Orchestra. 

After college, he performed around the world on cruise ships, playing for guest entertainers, production shows, top 40 dance sets, ballroom dancing, and everything in between. When he returned to land, he established his music business, sharing his talents with live audiences of all kinds and expressing his creativity by writing unique medleys, mashups, and original music. He has also worked to perfect his piano tricks, where he plays piano backwards and upside down!

He plays over 300 gigs each year for numerous audiences, but his favorites remain providing a few moments of respite for stressed travelers at the MSP Airport, entertaining seniors at nursing homes, playing jazz with the Nate Hance Trio, and putting twists on classic songs with Cocktail Combo. Follow Nate’s creative endeavors on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, where he’s always experimenting with new ways to explore and share his craft.
