Selling from the Twin Cities
A headquarters town, a Wisconsin edge and a twelve-day fair.
The Twin Cities sell into big-company habits and a short, loud summer. Each point links to where it comes from.
A headquarters town
Greater MSP is home to more Fortune 500 companies per capita than any other large metro market, with 15 Fortune 500 headquarters in the region.

Paid efficiency · seasonal apparel
Making every ad dollar pull its weight, whatever the season.
Cabi sells women's apparel nationally through its stylists, and apparel runs on seasons. What it brought us was a paid program that had grown its spend without growing what it returned.
We cleaned up the feed so shopping ads had better data, split prospecting from remarketing, and let the platforms' automation work on top of that structure. For a Minneapolis brand whose year swings with the winter, efficiency is what lets the budget flex.

Start here
Get the store built — or get the one you have selling better.
A build is one project: the design and theme, your catalog, the move off whatever you’re on now, and a launch somebody watches. From $10,000 one-time, and you own every bit of it.
Already on Shopify? Shopify Growth keeps the store improving month to month, from $2,250/mo. Ads, email, search and testing go on top when they’ll pay for themselves.
Questions, Minneapolis edition.
Are you actually in Minneapolis?
We're a remote agency, so there's no office to visit anywhere — ours or anyone else's. Our people are spread across the US and we run on video calls, which is how we'd work with you either way. The nearest client we have is in Wisconsin, a few hours east, and we've said exactly where rather than calling it the Midwest and leaving it there.
Winter is half our year. Does seasonality change how you'd run ads?
It changes the budget shape, not the approach. A Minneapolis brand whose demand doubles in the cold half of the year should not be spending evenly across twelve months, and the email calendar should carry the quiet half rather than the ad account. Minnesota seasonality is sharper than most places we work, so it is worth planning around rather than averaging.
Do Minneapolis brands really need a physical presence to grow?
No, and the Twin Cities are a good argument against it. Plenty of brands here run entirely online with a warehouse nobody visits. A storefront helps if retail is part of the plan; it is dead weight if it isn't, and we'd rather you spent that money on the site.
We're thinking of a stand at the State Fair. Is that worth it for an online brand?
It can be, if you count the sign-ups rather than the register. The 2027 fair runs August 26 to September 6, and what's left after twelve days is a list: a short URL on the stand, a reason to join, and an email that lands the week after, while people still remember the booth. The fair ends the summer; the store's job is the fall after it.
A lot of our buyers work at big companies here. Does that change anything?
It can change who places the order. With more Fortune 500 headquarters per head than any other large metro, a Twin Cities brand may well get asked for corporate gifts — and those need a bulk-order path, an invoice and a way to ship to twenty addresses, not a checkout built for one.
We're in Hudson, on the Wisconsin side. Are we part of this?
As far as your customers are concerned, yes — St. Croix County is part of the Census Bureau's Minneapolis–St. Paul metro. Set your ads and any local delivery around the metro rather than the state line, or a campaign aimed at Minnesota quietly skips the towns across the river.
Where we work
Minneapolis, Saint Paul and the suburbs they share.
Minneapolis and Saint Paul are genuinely two cities, and Minneapolis brands split along the river from their Saint Paul neighbors more than outsiders expect — though the customers rarely care which side you are on.
We’re a remote agency with a home base in Norristown, Pennsylvania — the team is spread across the country, with a good chunk of it on the west coast. Everything runs on video calls, so you get the same people and the same hours whether you’re downtown or an hour out of it.
