Alumni Spotlight: Marisol Castillo

We always love to see alumni of The BrandLab accomplishing great things. Marisol, one of many of our rising stars, was awarded an internship with The BrandLab in 2013. She was placed at Minnesota Public Radio and made lasting relationships. Last summer they asked her to return. Take a moment to read or listen as she shares her story of learning English and supporting her family. In the article she touches on the obstacles she and those in her life had to overcome. Marisol we are proud of you for being Fearless!

Alumni Spotlight: Travon Sellers

The BrandLab is thrilled to congratulate alum Travon Sellers, who has graduated from The University of Minnesota Mankato with a degree in Mass Communications. We first met Travon at Kennedy high school in 2009 and he has been very active in The BrandLab community ever since.

He excelled during his internships at Olson and Tunhiem. Among his many accomplishments in college Travon served as Vice President of the Marketing Club and gave a commencement speech at his graduation.

We are beyond proud of you Travon and we are so excited to watch your career unfold!

A New Year Means a New Office

We would like to give the biggest thank you possible to Colle+McVoy for welcoming us into their home for 2014. It was a banner year for The BrandLab and we could not not have accomplished all that we did without you!

A new agency partner welcomes The BrandLab into their offices each year. Our incredible hosts ensure that we have the support and resources needed to do our work. Today we move into our new home for 2015 at Yamamoto!

We can't wait!

We are grateful to all of our host partners for making what we do a reality.

Volunteers Needed!

The BrandLab is already looking to fill volunteer spots for the upcoming school semester. Our volunteers impact the lives of our students by teaching them about creative careers and showing the endless possibilities that exist for them in the marketing and advertising industry. If you are interested in visiting a TBL classroom, hosting a field trip, or getting involved, please contact Brian Gioielli, to see how you can make a difference.
