Minneapolis is home to a remarkable collection of agencies specializing in marketing, advertising, design, and technology. One thing all these agencies have in common is that they make connections. Connections between businesses and consumers, people and products, old and new, ideas and hungry minds.
Minneapolis was also recently ranked as the #3 city for startups link, beating out cities such as San Jose, Seattle, and Boston.
How can this vibrant agency community and the thriving start-up community help each other — join forces to make things neither could make alone? How can we partner to bring exciting new ideas and opportunities to the business community or directly to market? How can the Twin Cities create its own brand of start-up culture and find unique success?
Over the course of this session, the panel will conduct an open forum on these and other ideas about how technology and creativity are conspiring to change the world through partnership. Together Sapient and Fallon represent the leading edge in idea-focused agencies leveraging technology and creativity to benefit our clients in healthcare, financial services, commodities, consumer packaged goods, automotive and more.
But what opportunities lie undiscovered and how can we conquer them together? Maybe only you know.
