This week’s writer

Hey readers, it’s Kari! I’m the video content specialist here at Tellwell and I have the pleasure of writing this week’s plog. As part of the film team, I conduct interviews, direct talent, write storylines, and so much more! Let’s get into it!

No Grinch allowed! ❄️

WARNING: Don’t come to the office if you don’t want to feel the holiday spirit.

Many Tellw-elves got to work to decorate the entire space! From personalized ornaments and stockings above the mantle, to giant snowflakes and a beautiful winter scene in the Lookout, you can’t help but smile at every turn. There’s nothing we love more than crafts, decorations, and some cozy holiday fun!

Tellwell teaches 📚

This week, Chief Storyteller Max spoke at the GNDC Marketer’s Roadshow! This event brought local and regional marketing experts into one space to share tools, trends, and tactics to help small marketing teams elevate their organizations.

In Max’s presentation, he talked about how important it is to build your organization and website around your audience. Flipping the script from “here’s our organization” to “here’s how you fit into our organization” opens the door for collaboration, action, and passion.

A week with Concordia 🎶

This week, the film team spent some time over on Concordia’s campus helping with the 99th Concordia Christmas Concert! We practiced with some new equipment in the studio, set up cameras, ran cords, and even created a whole set up behind-the-scenes. A lot of effort went into this production, and we are so happy to be a part of it.

With the first official concert happening later tonight, we can’t wait to see how night one goes (with one more concert being filmed tomorrow). Come back next week for some more photos and an update after all is said and done, but for now, enjoy some behind the scenes moments!
