MNBloggerBash started several years ago as a part of Hubbard Interactive with the idea to connect businesses to bloggers and influencers. We have hosted many events and the team behind those events decided it was time for a rebranding effort. Over the last 6 months they have built a new website, designed new logos and changed the whole color scheme, and even reframed the events themselves. In this episode we talk with a couple ladies from the MNBloggerBash team about the rebrand and what it will mean going forward.

@sincerely_ami Adriana Velez

With a career path that has so far been more confusing than the plot line of a Telenovela, Adriana brings knowledge from multiple areas of digital marketing. She graduated from the University of St. Thomas with a degree in Business Law and was a cheerleader during her time there. As a Social Media Coordinator at Hubbard Interactive, she brings company voices to life through social media content. With multiple HubSpot certifications and knowledge in Inbound Marketing, she knows the importance of lead nurturing. With passion for all things email, she is able to take a hands-off approach to engaging with customers and nurturing leads as they go through the buyer’s journey. When she isn’t geeking out over digital marketing you can find her blogging about mental health, capturing her trendy life living in North Loop, and taking pictures of her dog and cat.

FlipPhone Drag Brunches have become a big hit in Minneapolis. Tickets sell out as soon as they go on sale, attendees have a blast, performers make good money, and it all raises money for local non-profits. It’s a win-win-win for everyone! And it’s all coordinated by the owner of FlipPhone Events, Chad Kampe. He is the mastermind behind the drag brunches and the numerous other shows and parties throughout the year. In this episode we sit down with Chad and talk about what it’s like to manage the marketing, social media, event production, and even host some of the events. He really does it all – from Facebook event promotion to video marketing to influencer marketing, and he talks to us about what he’s done to succeed with all these events.
