One of my favorite things about work­ing at an agency is the vari­ety – from the amount and type of clients I get to work with on a week­ly basis, to the range of skills I get to flex. One day I can be coor­di­nat­ing sto­ries about a university’s inno­v­a­tive pro­gram with local media and...Read More

Curios­i­ty is a trait all of us here at Bell­mont Part­ners share, which bodes well as we often take deep dives into many dif­fer­ent indus­tries and orga­ni­za­tions for our work. Beyond our dai­ly learn­ings at the (home) office, we also enjoy immers­ing our­selves in read­ing to learn some­thing new, find an escape, and work to...Read More

For near­ly a year, COVID-19 has changed the world, from the way we live, work and trav­el, to how we enter­tain and cel­e­brate events. And the biggest sport­ing and pop-cul­ture event of the year, Super Bowl LV, was no exception. In Sep­tem­ber 2020, Bell­mont Part­ners and our part­ner Cahill Com­mu­ni­ca­tions kicked off plan­ning with GENY­OUth, the...Read More

The COVID-19 pan­dem­ic has forced com­pa­nies of all sizes to reassess their oper­a­tions, includ­ing how a pub­lic rela­tions or com­mu­ni­ca­tions agency fits into the mix, and tak­ing a hard, hon­est look at the val­ue a rela­tion­ship with an agency provides. For Bell­mont Part­ners, the past 10 months have rein­forced much of what we already knew to...Read More

Good­bye (and in many ways, good rid­dance!) to 2020 – and hel­lo, 2021! The chal­lenges that came our way in 2020 may have cre­at­ed some chaos and con­fu­sion, but they also pro­vid­ed oppor­tu­ni­ties and shed light on areas that could use fine-tuning. The start of a new year is the per­fect time to take a...Read More

The tra­di­tion of New Year’s res­o­lu­tions dates back thou­sands of years, and while many aspects have changed, the core phi­los­o­phy of self-improve­ment has remained the same. Most goals and res­o­lu­tions for 2020 quick­ly turned to sim­ply mak­ing it through, but we are look­ing to 2021 with cau­tious opti­mism and hope. Each year Bell­mont Part­ners sets agency...Read More

The change of sea­sons from sum­mer to fall is one that many of us at Bell­mont Part­ners love – from the crisp morn­ings and the col­or­ful leaves, to the trips to the orchard and the bus­tle of har­vest. This year, we also wel­comed autumn with two projects that high­light­ed the beau­ty and the impor­tance of...Read More

It’s not exact­ly break­ing news that over the past eight months, every Bell­mont Part­ners client, no mat­ter which indus­try they’re in, has shift­ed their mar­ket­ing approach – some slight­ly, oth­ers sig­nif­i­cant­ly. But what is news­wor­thy are the insights we’ve gleaned regard­ing what’s most impor­tant to keep in mind for 2021. Each orga­ni­za­tion has been piv­ot­ing accord­ing...Read More

The Minneapolis/St. Paul Busi­ness Jour­nal rec­og­nized 52 2020 Women in Busi­ness hon­orees at a vir­tu­al event today, includ­ing our very own Jen Bell­mont. While her MSPBJ pro­file focus­es on how she’s “prov­ing that doing well and doing good can go hand in hand” and “cul­ti­vat­ing pos­i­tive cul­ture, in and out of the office,” we asked...Read More

Non­prof­it com­mu­ni­ca­tions is about words. Devel­op­ment is about num­bers. The teams from each are from dif­fer­ent worlds and speak dif­fer­ent lan­guages, right? Maybe; but they’re strongest and most effec­tive when every­thing is aligned. Bell­mont Part­ners strate­gic part­ner Mo Cahill and I had the hon­or of pre­sent­ing a break­out ses­sion at the Min­neso­ta Coun­cil of Non­prof­its’ (MCN)...Read More
