As I enter my 14th year work­ing in the pub­lic rela­tions indus­try (my eighth with Bell­mont Part­ners), I took some time to reflect on why I do what I do, and why even after a decade and a half, I can’t imag­ine doing any­thing besides pub­lic relations.

And equal­ly impor­tant, it can be a...Read More

In the not-so-dis­tant past, you could poll 100 peo­ple and no one would list the word “cre­ative” in their list of top 10 words to describe the health care indus­try. Reg­u­la­tions and patient pri­va­cy con­cerns are just two of the many rea­sons health care has his­tor­i­cal­ly been among the indus­tries con­sid­ered most con­ser­v­a­tive in terms...Read More

As we approach anoth­er sum­mer of events, we took time to reflect on our recent work help­ing pro­mote a soon-to-be icon­ic Min­neso­ta event, Word­play.
