Busi­ness is boom­ing for Minnesota’s mak­ers, from the Metro to the Iron Range and every­where in-between. This year’s ninth-annu­al State of Man­u­fac­tur­ing Sur­vey from Enter­prise Min­neso­ta, shared at an event on May 9, revealed a strong sense of opti­mism among Min­neso­ta man­u­fac­tur­ers.

No mat­ter where you are in your con­tent mar­ket­ing jour­ney, one thing is for sure —it isn’t going away any time soon, and for good rea­son.

After what felt like the longest win­ter ever, we cel­e­brat­ed our new Edi­na office — and spring — in style yes­ter­day with a “Bell­mont Bash” open house.
