Fif­teen years ago, when Brid­get Nel­son Mon­roe first walked through the door of our office in down­town Pri­or Lake, we were four peo­ple doing what we could with low name recog­ni­tion and boot­strap bud­gets as we worked out of a for­mer exer­cise stu­dio.

There are many rea­sons why I went into the field of health com­mu­ni­ca­tion and there are many more rea­sons why I’ve stayed in the field. One of those rea­sons is that I, along with the oth­er mem­bers of the Bell­mont Part­ners Health team, get to work with some of the coolest com­pa­nies – some­times long...Read More

We’ve all seen the hic­cups and blun­ders of good inter­views gone bad on local and nation­al news and on social media (or wit­nessed in real time!), cap­tur­ing infa­mous moments which could live on in cul­tur­al lore for decades.

As PR pro­fes­sion­als who work with man­u­fac­tur­ers every day, we’ve had a front-row seat to the com­plex­i­ties that trade pol­i­cy, sup­ply chain volatil­i­ty and work­force uncer­tain­ty pose to the industry. While no two com­pa­nies are exact­ly alike, three com­mu­ni­ca­tion strate­gies...Read More

As fed­er­al shifts and threats chal­lenge the very exis­tence of many non­prof­its, many orga­ni­za­tions find this is a try­ing time. The non­prof­it are­na was one of Bell­mont Part­ners’ first areas of exper­tise, and we’ve helped hun­dreds find their way through chal­lenge and oppor­tu­ni­ty. While today’s cli­mate may be unique, it’s not total­ly unprece­dent­ed. Dur­ing the...Read More

The 94th Min­neso­ta Leg­is­la­ture con­vened (par­tial­ly) on Jan­u­ary 14th and it’s been a roller­coast­er!  The House is where the major­i­ty of the tumult occurred and after much debate from both sides of the aisle, a pow­er-shar­ing agree­ment is now in place and they are con­duct­ing busi­ness (albeit delayed and also while approach­ing a spe­cial elec­tion...Read More
