President Brian Bellmont Named 2022 Notable Leader in Marketing

While it wasn’t a sur­prise to those of us at Bell­mont Part­ners who know him well, we are thrilled own­er and pres­i­dent Bri­an Bell­mont has been named a Twin Cities Busi­ness 2022 Notable Leader in Mar­ket­ing. This hon­or cel­e­brates busi­ness lead­ers who have nav­i­gat­ed the pan­dem­ic, labor and sup­ply chal­lenges, infla­tion, a social jus­tice move­ment and more – all while “effec­tive­ly con­nect­ing brands with their tar­get audi­ences and the larg­er public.”

Since 1996, Bri­an has been invest­ed in the suc­cess of his clients and employ­ees, and as his busi­ness has grown, he’s con­tin­ued to make thought­ful deci­sions – while also tak­ing some risks – to turn our agency into what it is today. From a one-per­son shop in the begin­ning to now a team of more than 20, his lead­er­ship has led to com­pa­ny growth – and amaz­ing results for our clients that span tech­nol­o­gy, tourism, man­u­fac­tur­ing, health, pro­fes­sion­al ser­vices, non­prof­its and more.

In addi­tion to deliv­er­ing work that moves the nee­dle for clients, Bri­an is com­mit­ted to giv­ing back. Through our Bell­mont Gives Back pro­gram, our agency donates time to work on pro bono projects in addi­tion to giv­ing team mem­bers paid vol­un­teer time to use for caus­es impor­tant to each of us. This past year, as a mem­ber of the advi­so­ry com­mit­tee, Bri­an helped launch Life Your Healthy Lyfe, an event focused on improv­ing health and well­ness equi­ty for com­mu­ni­ties of col­or in North Min­neapo­lis and beyond.

And while the world has changed the past few years, Bri­an and the rest of the lead­er­ship team have con­tin­ued to fos­ter a cul­ture that’s sup­port­ive and peo­ple-first. With a turnover rate of zero for near­ly four years plus mul­ti­ple Best Places to Work awards, the facts speak for themselves.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to Bri­an and all the oth­er hon­orees – we’re grate­ful for this com­mu­ni­ty of indus­try leaders!
