Kero Creative

Every now and then, we benefit from a brief sojourn to reflect, recover and prepare for the future. ? My latest sojourn lasted two years. Kero thrived during that time — and my sole focus was developing deliverables, serving clients and navigating personal growth in my free time. That narrow focus left little time for community involvement, and gosh, did I miss it! Well, it's time — I'm getting back into community involvement! I recently met with the The City of Fargo to discuss citizen engagement opportunities, and am planning participation for events in the Twin Ports and Twin Cities. I want to give each of Kero's core markets the attention they deserve. Fargo, Duluth + MSP — here we come! ?? Kelsey Roseth

When it comes to our careers —?each of us has had one, or many, professionals who put their trust in us and transformed our trajectory. ? We lost my mentor Shawn Perich last year following a courageous battle with brain cancer —?and he's been on my mind lately. Shawn co-owned Northern Wilds Media / Magazine and was my first freelance client. There, I wrote the "North Shore Dish" dining column and drafted articles about news along the North Shore of Lake Superior. He taught me much about print journalism (as my previous experience had been primarily broadcast journalism), effective storytelling and how to hone my craft. He was an exceptional talent and I'll forever aspire to write as well as he did. And, he got me involved in the Outdoor Writers Association of America (OWAA), and for that I am truly grateful. For those who love the outdoors, you can read some of his work here: https://lnkd.in/etkmv8QD We miss you always, Shawn!?? Kelsey Roseth

Why do we work, you ask? ?? Sure, we need money for mortgages, utilities and other expenses. But most importantly — we're dedicated pet parents who work hard to give our kiddos a dream life! ?? ?? #duluthmn #fargond #petparents #minnesota #northdakota Tianna Kaye Day | Kelsey Roseth

Startups with engaging, visually-appealing brands make an impact. Now when the brand also has deep, personal meaning to its founders – it makes a powerful statement. ? Roberta Pytlik and Tim Clark recently established their own counseling practice in Fargo, ND called Forest River Counseling. They reached out to Kero Creative for creative direction. We supported this couple with developing all aspects of their brand – the logo and icon, font and color palette – and the design was carefully crafted to reflect the warmth, compassion and understanding of these mental health counselors. The brand is based on the outdoors – and Fargo’s Forest River Park served as the inspiration. It’s the couple’s favorite local park, and where they bring their family to experience the outdoors. ?? Roberta, Tim – we’re so grateful to be a part of your journey! https://lnkd.in/g7Kj49Z3 #fargonorthdakota #fargond #mentalhealthcounselors #branding

? To my fellow entrepreneurs, I am in awe of you. ? Running a business takes dedication and grit in the face of adversity. Two years ago, a divorce uprooted my happiness, habits and home. As with many entrepreneurs, I didn't have the opportunity to pursue a sojourn or sabbatical. I navigated my personal needs and professional responsibilities all at once, with respite coming through the support of family, friends and colleagues. The experience has brought me strength and resilience — and taught me that I'm far tougher than I realized. And Kero Creative is all the better for it. ???? To other entrepreneurs similarly balancing your personal and professional life — I see you. Our fortitude is vast, even if it isn't always apparent. ???? ~Kelsey Roseth #kerocreative #minnesota #northdakota #wisconsin #advertisingagency
