Joubert Syndrome & Related Disorders Foundation has been helping families around the world overcome the challenges of raising children who suffer from this rare, life-threatening malady. Spyglass helped JSRDF to refresh their brand and develop a website that would extend their reach and further their mission.
Spyglass collaborated with Minnesota artist, Christopher Lutter-Gardella on a logo, tagline and brand positioning for his latest exhibit “Wolf and Moose”, the winner of the Minneapolis’ prestigious Creative City Challenge project.
Spyglass is proud to announce the hiring of our new CCO (Chief Cuteness Officer) and junior team mascot. Her name is Paisley, our tail-wagging office sensation and the latest addition to the Spyglass team. She’s more bark than bite and the closest thing to our beloved orange that we could find in the canine kingdom. Though her resume was a bit short on experience, we’ve already been impressed by her charm and get-things-chewed attitude. Welcome aboard, Paisley! Next time you’re at Spyglass be sure to say hello—dog treats optional, but recommended.

Capella Learning Solutions (CLS), a division of Capella Education Company, is a leader in online education and has two new ways to tackle the growing 21st-century skills gap. Spyglass collaborated with CLS on naming, branding, messaging and strategy for two groundbreaking programs. The first is called RightSkillSM, created in collaboration with CareerBuilder. With millions of job seekers in the CareerBuilder database and Capella Learning Solutions’ deep expertise in online learning and assessment, RightSkill is designed to build skills for in-demand careers and place candidates who perform better, stay longer and cost less to hire and train. RightSkill’s recruitment team screens job seekers for their attitude and aptitude. Job seekers are then enrolled in a robust online interactive learning experience designed to build and verify their job ready skills. After completing the course and passing a comprehensive assessment, individuals become RightSkill candidates who are job ready for in-demand roles. And best of all, RightSkill comes with a program guarantee for both the job seeker and the employer.
The other initiative CLS launched is called InsightPath. InsightPath was developed by Capella Learning Solutions in collaboration with the International Institute for Analytics. Companies of all sizes are struggling in today’s data-driven world to connect their analytics to action. InsightPath is not another analytics technology training solution, but instead teaches business teams how to think strategically and tactically to make data-driven decisions. Through an interactive online course, professionals are taught the InsightPath Framework. They learn how to frame opportunities in order to use relevant data and then how to tell powerful insight-driven stories that compel action. The approach is structured, repeatable and addresses a company’s business-specific goals from day one—all while teaching teams to speak the same language, quickly identify shared goals and the immediate steps for how to achieve them. It’s smart thinking all around and just what today’s businesses need to sustain success.

In collaboration with the MN American Marketing Association (AMA), Spyglass had the opportunity to present on the topic of the B2B branding process. The summer rain came down in torrents outside. But inside the craft beer was flowing along with a deluge of B2B branding insights from our own Molly Rice, Andy Slothower and Jim Weiler, VP of Walman, who kindly added an important client perspective. Thanks again, Jim! And thank you to everyone who attended the June 22nd event at 612Brew. It was a full house—and everybody had a ball. Keeping your brand in motion is what it’s all about!
For more than 25 years the EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® Awards have honored entrepreneurial excellence in business recognizing outstanding entrepreneurs for their vision, innovation, courage, and leadership in building and growing successful businesses that influence local communities and global markets. This year, our own Molly Rice is among the nominees who have made the first cut. After 15 years of leading her own successful business and consistently helping hundreds of entrepreneurial and start-up brands find success, it seems only fitting that she is recognized as being one of the best in the business.
Congratulations, Molly! See what EY is all about (and wish her luck).
We are fortunate that there are so many visionary nonprofit organizations— around the world and right around the corner. For over 15 years, Spyglass has had the distinct pleasure of helping many organizations that are near and dear to us. Promoting community and the arts has always been a focus, and we’ve also tried our best to be advocates of social justice and education. There’s much more to do, and we remain committed to helping these nonprofits generate awareness, grow and connect.
