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. Sure, there are some down­sides, most­ly that he’s fic­tion­al, lives in the 1940s and also is nine years old. But the upsides are plen­ti­ful. In his quest to per­suade his par­ents...Read More

It’s not exact­ly break­ing news that the past two years have been tough on the media. And in Min­neso­ta, prob­a­bly no out­let has faced stronger head­winds recent­ly than Upsize Mag­a­zine. 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

Netflix’s mas­sive hit “Squid Game” is packed with nail-nib­bling ten­sion, heart­less dou­ble-cross­es and cut-throat (lit­er­al­ly) com­pe­ti­tion. If you haven’t seen it, imag­ine the chaos and cal­cu­la­tion of a throng of peo­ple angling to score the last Tick­le Me Elmo on the shelf in 1996, only with a lot more green tracksuits. Mil­lions of words have been...Read More
