Spilling the beans every month!

admin — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 18:58:40 +0000

In late 2011, Chippewa Valley Bean, a Menomonie, Wisconsin-based kidney bean processing company, came to us for ideas about how to better communicate with their community of growers. After touring CV Bean’s impressive processing facility and getting a feel for what they do and how they do it, we worked closely with company leadership to create Chippewa Valley Bean News. This monthly e-newsletter shows the myriad ways that CV Bean goes above and beyond to help their growers, from creating new tools for harvest to traveling the globe in search of new and better markets.

We showed our heart on Go Red day!

We donned our scarlet finery to show our support for American Heart Month and national Go Red for Women Day. Our rooftop photo fun was part of an effort by Fairview Red Wing Medical Center, the Red Wing Family YMCA and a plethora of other local businesses to remind the community about the dangers of cardiovascular disease by wearing red on Feb. 3.

A site that makes a splash

When Red Wing High School Boys Swim Team officials needed an easy and efficient way to share important information with a large number of swimmers, parents, coaches and fans without sending massive group emails, we were glad to jump in and help out by designing and programming the team’s very own spot on the web.

The new team website makes a splash as a one-stop center for information about the team. Visitors can easily check out schedules, team records and history, download important forms and immerse themselves in team news with a regularly updated blog.

Boosting the Boosters

We were pleased to help give our local athletes a boost. The Red Wing Booster Club, a nonprofit organization that promotes and supports all Red Wing High School sports activities, recently asked Confluence to help the organization achieve more recognition at local events. We worked closely with the Boosters to create a banner that educates the community about the club and gets people involved at the same time. And it looks really cool, too.

Shake the blues with a little jazz

admin — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:48:06 +0000

What better way to shake, rattle and roll those post-holiday blues than with a full day of jazz? Presented by the Roseville Visitors Association, the Roseville Winter Jazz Blast is an all-day celebration of jazz, capped off by an evening performance by Jazz MN Orchestra with special guest guitarist Mike Stern. There won’t be a groovier place to be on January 14, 2012 than Maranatha Hall on the Northwestern College campus.
