Time flies when you’re having fun, and we’ve had a lot of it since Shelby Zellmer became a Maker one year ago. ✨

Over the past 365 days, Shelby has helped shape social strategy across multiple clients, brought fresh creative ideas to the table and even stepped into account management along the way. Whether she’s building content, managing pieces behind the scenes or finding new ways to help our clients stand out, she approaches everything with creativity, energy and heart.

If you ask around the office, you’ll probably hear things like “she brings the energy” or “there's never a dull moment with her,” and honestly, we couldn’t agree more.

Happy first Makerversary, Shelby. Now, someone please get this girl some bubble wrap!

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to support the Wisconsin State Fair Park Foundation's annual golf outing as a hole sponsor. ⛳

Events like these are a great reminder of the power of community and the partnerships that help make Wisconsin such a special place to live, work and play.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us on the course, especially our foursome: Julie Soper (Sentry Foods), Angela Smetana (Marcus Theatres), Tina Bethhauser (MKR) and Julie Rasmussen (MKR).

We had a great time and are already looking forward to next year!

A fishing license isn’t just a permit — it’s a way to feel reinvigorated by doing something you love.

We created a campaign that shows just that by combining meaningful storytelling with a compelling, nostalgic design to encourage women anglers to renew their licenses and feel the spark that comes from spending time in nature.

This , we ask: what revitalizes you? 🌿
