Thanks to everyone who joined us for a lively discussion around the lessons we learn as communicators. Though our roles are wide-ranging, and both new and long-term, there were a lot of heads nodding as each person spoke. It's good to get together to laugh and encourage one another as we continue to learn and grow in our profession.

We'll be posting about our October 1 In-Person Coffee Chat soon, and we hope you sign up to join us.

If you attended our Communicate Stronger event in May, you had the fun experience of being part of the live taping of an episode of the Brand in Motion podcast (produced by The Good Kids).

The broadcast is now available to listen to on Spotify at the link in the post shared here.

This 37-minute conversation was an insightful look into how the Eclipse Venue decided on the branding for their new event center in Bismarck.

We have a fun surprise for you today...

Back in May, we hosted a LIVE podcast from the very new stage at Eclipse with their very own, Jared Shoults & Mike Frohlich at IABC.

They open up about the very first napkin sketch idea to how the successfully involved multiple owners throughout the branding journey.
