The begin­ning of a new year can be a lot. We’re com­ing off a break, it’s the start of new projects and pri­or­i­ties, and it’s cold. While most of these things are excit­ing (sor­ry, cold weath­er – not you), it can also take its toll giv­en the cir­cum­stances of the past two years. The good...Read More

As the new year quick­ly approach­es, we’re excit­ed to offi­cial­ly share the news that Bell­mont Part­ners was select­ed by the City of Duluth for its tourism mar­ket­ing, begin­ning in 2022.

With 2022 plan­ning in full swing, we’ve asked...Read More

In ear­ly Novem­ber, Bell­mont Part­ners wel­comed a new Senior Account Exec­u­tive to the team. Her arrival feels a bit like a full-cir­cle moment for some of us. After 16 years sup­port­ing var­i­ous projects on behalf of Mid­west Dairy and more than 5,000 dairy farm­ers through­out the region – includ­ing Minnesota’s famous Princess Kay of the Milky...Read More

‘Tis the sea­son for grat­i­tude, of which we have plen­ty. Our clients and part­ners remain among the list of peo­ple and orga­ni­za­tions we are grate­ful for, and we’re excit­ed to share that our ros­ter has expand­ed. Recent­ly, our Tourism and Hos­pi­tal­i­ty prac­tice group has had the oppor­tu­ni­ty to start part­ner­ing with these new clients. We’re...Read More

It was while watch­ing “A Christ­mas Sto­ry” for around the 800th time over the week­end that I real­ized I should prob­a­bly offer Ral­phie a job.

When the region­al busi­ness magazine’s co-founder and pub­lish­er Wes Bergstrom died in Spring 2020, the pub­li­ca­tion went on hia­tus, fac­ing an uncer­tain future. Enter Andy Tel­li­john....Read More

As you might expect from that mul­ti-faceted...Read More

How many times have you watched or read a news sto­ry and laughed, teared up or were inspired to act or learn more? Chances are, that sto­ry fea­tured a per­son you con­nect­ed with. Or, in my case, some­times, a dog. When we start work­ing with a client, and through­out our part­ner­ship, we try to look for...Read More

We talk a lot about the peo­ple of Bell­mont Part­ners, and how our agency cul­ture dri­ves our abil­i­ty to deliv­er excel­lent results for our clients and our community. We’ve received a lot of atten­tion for the work we do, and we’re extreme­ly proud of that. But today, we’ve been rec­og­nized for the most crit­i­cal foun­da­tion­al ele­ment...Read More
