Local Minneapolis Creative Vendors I Love and Recommend
In the past couple of years, I've been hitting the networking scene pretty hard. One standout event was the annual boat cruise hosted by Amy Lynne Coaching back in September 2022. That's where I crossed paths with a bunch of savvy entrepreneurs who were on the same wavelength as me.
Since then, we've teamed up on projects, grabbed coffee to hash out ideas, and even went on a business retreat together earlier this year. You know, the kind where you bond over shared struggles and plot your way forward along the winding road of entrepreneurship. It's been a game changer to work alongside these incredible women, and I'm thrilled to introduce them to my network.
Lemay Story Studio
Copywriting
Who they are:
Maddie Lemay, the owner of Lemay Story Studio, is “that girl” from your high school who enjoyed writing essays a little too much and volunteered in the Writing Room for fun. She's a former journalist who still writes like it (AKA - she's a deadline stickler and eats Sour Patch Kids to keep her creative juices flowing).
What they offer:
Maddie and her team specialize in executing content plans for small to mid-sized businesses, with an emphasis on high-quality, human-sounding writing. Her team -- which includes a project manager and designer -- can handle everything that goes into your organic content: designing graphics, scheduling emails, LinkedIn posting, you name it. Maddie's team also takes on project-based clients who need website copy (AKA, they can write the words and messaging for your new website).
More about Maddie:
When she's not writing, she's probably walking around the lake listening to Taylor Swift’s oldies-but-goodies, or playing one-on-one basketball against her husband, who usually lets her win.
