Thanks to CEL, our organization is seeing tremendous growth in community engagement and overall awareness.
In addition to our rebrand and name change, CEL helped with the design and launch of a very robust website that is state of the art, mobile friendly but most importantly the gateway for all of our content. SEO has been maximized and finding important community content has never been easier.

I’ve hired CEL to promote my events since 1999…There is no better company.
Together, we re-positioned the Uptown Art Fair in Minneapolis and took the Saint Louis Art Fair to a new level of success with local and national media coverage. In addition to drawing a crowd, the media focus they place on individual artists has helped attract high-level professional artists and qualified buyers. Always prepared, CEL’s crisis communications are extraordinaire.
