When Coca-Cola’s globetrotting team of “happiness ambassadors” visited the United States, New York City was probably the only place that would do their energy and enthusiasm justice. Tony, Kelly and Antonio — the three who make up the Expedition 206 team — have brought happiness, excitement and creativity to each of the 145 countries they’ve [...]

Loyal Peepshow readers likely have read previous posts about our apple client, Next Big Thing, the growers’ cooperative that markets SweeTango. And, with apple season upon us once again, I initially set out to write a post about this exciting new apple that’s taking the produce world by storm. However, when I started sifting through [...]

Just want to give a quick shout-out to our friend, Ruth Bachman, subject of a nice feature by Jeff Strickler in today’s Star Tribune. Ruth serves with Jorg on the board of the University of Minnesota Foundation, and we’ve been helping her spread the word about her efforts to raise $1 million for research at the [...]

Of course, we like to think we’re doing something pretty unique and innovative over here at what we sometimes affectionately refer to as The Pony. But it’s awfully nice when others seem to “get it” as well. We recently had the privilege of sharing our story with Nancy Eike at Minnesota Business. Our summer intern [...]

Thousands of music lovers will descend on a 700-acre farm in Manchester, Tenn., this weekend for the annual Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.

It’s taken some time to recover, but before it gets to be too late (and I forget everything that happened), I thought I’d share a brief chronicle of a trip Scott and I took out east: Thursday morning: Board a plane with Scott and fly [...]

Last week, Trevor and I had the opportunity to photograph and videograph our client, Indian Health Board’s, biggest event: the annual Chili Feed. A little background: IHB has been a neighborhood clinic since 1970 and was founded to provide free or affordable health care to Native Americans and the Phillips Community. It’s truly an honor [...]

I’ve had the privilege this spring of doing some pro bono work on a remarkable undertaking: the University Avenue Project, sponsored by Public Art Saint Paul. This six-mile public art installation is the largest such project in the nation this year. It displays the photography, the reporting skills and the sociological instincts of Wing Youg Huie, [...]

We had a great opportunity yesterday to help Marvin Windows and Doors launch a new product line that’s a significant move for the Warroad-based manufacturer. The company hosted nearly 200 Twin Cities builders, remodelers and siding experts to introduce them to Apex Siding System. Apex is the first fiberglass siding on the market, and Marvin’s first foray [...]

“Big ideas trump big budgets.” Our agency was built on that mantra.  We usually get hired because our client is looking for a heavy dose of creativity to stretch their marketing dollar.  That doesn’t mean that we don’t work with some healthy budgets.  We do. But because our clients don’t often throw terms like Gross Ratings Points around, they are forced to find ways to build [...]
