Welcome to Tellwell’s weekly Plog (photo-blog)!
So much fun packed into five days! We were out in the world, in our community, and in local classrooms this week. Read on to see what Team Tellwell was up to!
This week’s writer
St. Patty’s Day fun 🌈🍀
We started the week off strong with St. Patrick’s Day fun at the office! Project Manager Megan said “If you’re a ginger on St. Patrick’s Day, you have to commit to the bit!” We enjoyed her holiday-themed get up, it definitely brought a smile to our faces!
And what better way to start off the day than with an Irish jig played on the penny whistle? Lead Editor Matt always has his penny whistle on hand, so he played us a tune which brought a lot of joy, laughter, and even some dancing throughout the office. Spirits were high for a Monday morning!
A new arrival! 🐣
Early last week, Graphic Designer Jen welcomed a new honorary team member into the world: Meet Cyrus!
His arrival was sooner than expected, but everyone is doing well and finally resting back at home. We are sending you and your family well wishes, Jen! We can’t wait to meet him!
Attending Fargo Film Festival events 🎥
This week was the start of the Fargo Film Festival! Team members attended events throughout the week (and will continue this weekend). On Wednesday night, Annie made her way to the showing of “The Long Run,” an independent film following the lives of two strangers chasing their dreams of Hollywood.
On Thursday night, a few Tellwellians attended “Reel Stories”. Duncan, Lucas, and Kari made their way to the Fargo Theater for a night filled with short form documentaries, inspirational stories, and a live discussion with directors Prairie Rose Seminole and Joshua Carlon. As described, these documentaries “celebrate the best in humankind: our ability to persevere, explore, connect, and grow.”
Who doesn’t love a night at the theater with popcorn and snacks?
Inspiring the youths! ✨
This week, our Story Maker Success Manager Jenny was invited to speak at a communications class at MSUM! Here’s what Jenny had to say about her visit:
“During our roundtable discussion, students asked me about my experiences at MSUM as a Mass Communications Advertising/Public Relations major and how the skills I learned in school have shaped my career. We covered a lot of ground—everything from my career journey and tips for entering the workforce to overcoming challenges, investing in personal and professional development, and the power of networking. We also discussed the importance of getting involved in the community, following businesses and leaders who inspire them, and staying curious about the industry.
The conversation was incredibly dynamic, and we even went over time! It was a blast returning to Flora Frick, a place where I spent a lot of time during school.”
A visit to Tellwell South ✈️
Chief Storyteller Max made a visit to our “Tellwell South” branch (AKA Senior Web Strategist Riley) in South Dakota to connect and attend an AAF-SD lunch event! This event’s featured speaker was Emily Cohen, founder and partner at Casa Davka.
Tellwell met up with Casa Davka for a retreat in the beginning of the year, so being able to reconnect in person with Emily (and learn a thing or two during her presentation) was amazing. It was a quick trip, but so rewarding!
That wraps up this week! Keep an eye out for our next plog, coming March 28th!
