NEW BRIGHTON, MINN. – In recognition of its commitment to fostering business growth in the community, Risdall Marketing Group (RMG) was recently honored with the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce’s “Celebrate Business Success” award at the Public Officials’ Luncheon on Jan. 24.

“Since RMG opened its doors in the business community 35 years ago, we have shared the same mission as the St. Paul Chamber of Commerce,” said Ted Risdall, chairman of RMG and three-year St. Paul Chamber member. “By fostering new businesses and entrepreneurs in the area, our goals align for community growth.”

The “Celebrate Business Success” award comes at the heels of a recent agency restructure, as Risdall Advertising Agency (RAA) expanded to form RMG.

Some of RMG’s community relationships and involvement includes the following:
