Little switch–for the last year-plus, I’ve been providing weekly, then bi-weekly updates on comings/goings, agency wins and other events around Minneapolis/St. Paul. Since that’s more work that it seems, I’m going to ratchet it back just a bit to monthly. I’m still going to capture the same information–it’ll just be on a less frequent basis.

With that–let’s look at what happened in June, and what’s ahead in July.

Congratulations…

Congrats to my friends at Fast Horse for their big win at Cannes this week for their work with Newcastle. Congrats to Jorg, Scott, Mike, Cydney and the rest of the team over at FH!
