Risdall Marketing Group Hosts University of Minnesota Ad Club
for ‘Intern-For-A-Day 2009’
NEW BRIGHTON, MINN. (Jan. 6, 2010) – Risdall Marketing Group
(RMG) welcomed 25 students from the University of Minnesota Advertising
Club into the agency in December for a day of speakers, agency
discussion and knowledge sharing.
RMG had some of its top leaders present information pertinent to
their area of expertise and take questions from participants. Tom
Wilson, Josh Dahmes, Holly Matson, Jim Sandstrom and Kevin O’Callaghan
discussed account planning, creative, online marketing, social media and
public relations with the students.
“On many occasions, I have been told what not to do,” commented
Brian Bernier, a student at the Journalism School at the University of
Minnesota. “Risdall’s culture and people told me what to do, a
simple, encouraging difference in communication that went a long way for
me.”
The student group demonstrated their intelligence and passion for
advertising throughout the entire day. “What’s so cool is that the
students we had this year are so smart,” said John Risdall, chairman of
RMG. “This was the smartest group we have had to date; they were able to
name 26 Minnesota PR, interactive and marketing agencies, whereas other
groups in the past could only name 18.”
