We took our own advice.

At VantagePoint, we often help clients make sure their marketing reflects who they really are. Their values, their voice, their purpose, and the work happening behind the scenes.

This time, it was our turn.

Our brand refresh is not about starting over. It is about evolving. We kept a nod to where we started, while creating a look that better reflects the team, strategy, creativity, and heart behind VantagePoint today.

More than 10 years in, we are still here, still growing, and still helping businesses make the outside match the inside.

VantagePoint Spotlight: Co-Owner Katie Goodthunder

At the heart of Katie’s work is a love for storytelling. As Katie says, “I love getting to know the people behind a business and helping them share the story that makes their work matter.”

Katie specializes in helping businesses, nonprofits, and organizations find clarity in their message and share their story in a way that feels true to who they are. With a background in agriculture, communication, email marketing, website development, and digital strategy, she brings both creativity and organization to the VantagePoint team.

Fun Fact: When Katie isn’t working with clients, you’ll likely find her raising kids, collecting pet cows, enjoying her fainting goats, or starting DIY home projects that may or may not get finished.

Out of office, on the course for a cause that matters.

Today, Karlie and Katie are spending the day at the Child's Place Golf Scramble, supporting an organization that means a lot to us.

Child’s Place provides critical support for children and caregivers in our area after reports of abuse, assault, or neglect. The work they do matters, and we’re grateful for the chance to show up for them.

Here’s to a day of golf, community, and driving hope for children.

11 years of VantagePoint 🎉

This year has stretched us, grown us, and reminded us why we do what we do.

VantagePoint started with a mission to help businesses, nonprofits, and organizations tell their stories with clarity and heart. Eleven years later, that still feels like the best description of our work.

We’re grateful for the clients who trust us, the partners who support us, and the team we have today.

Here’s to 11 years, a lot of lessons learned, and the next chapter ahead.

We’re proud to celebrate one of our own, Jess, for completing the 2025/2026 LINC program!

Over the past nine months, Jess joined leaders from across Redwood County to learn, grow, connect, and strengthen the community. Her creativity, willingness to learn, and dedication to growing both personally and professionally make her such an important part of VantagePoint, and we’re excited to see how this experience continues to inspire her work and leadership.

Congratulations, Jess, and the entire LINC graduating class!

Congratulations to the 2025/2026 LINC class on completing an incredible 9-month journey of leadership, personal growth, networking, and community learning! 🎉

From September through May, this group dedicated one full day each month to learning more about themselves, leadership, workplace culture, and the businesses that help shape Redwood County.

A huge THANK YOU to the participants, their employers, and families who made this commitment possible. It truly takes a village, and the impact reaches far beyond the classroom - into workplaces, friendships, families, and our community.

We also want to thank the Redwood Falls American Legion Post #38 for hosting a wonderful celebration meal and all the guests who joined us for the evening.

LINC exists to Lead, Inspire, Network, and Create a stronger future for Redwood County - and this class did just that. 💫

Registration for the next cohort will be opening soon!

Happy Mother’s Day from VantagePoint Marketing!

Around here, motherhood comes with kids, dogs, cats, cows, chickens, and even a few fainting goats.

Some of us are raising little humans, all of us are loving on animals, and somehow we’re still showing up, telling important stories, helping businesses and nonprofits match their outsides to their insides, and getting the work done.

Here’s to the moms making it all happen, in every form.

Always fun to spend a day at the Minnesota FFA Convention.

Heather and Katie led a workshop with FFA members on building your network through social media and using those connections well as they think about future careers. We also had the chance to help Teach Ag Minnesota visit with students interested in becoming ag teachers and hear what’s inspiring them to pursue that path.

For Katie and Morgan, both former FFA members, being back at convention made the day even more meaningful. We also loved crossing paths with Sarah from Minnesota Agriculture in the Classroom, who was there volunteering.

It was one of those days that reminded us why we love the work we get to do.

Taco Tuesday landing on Cinco de Mayo feels like a day we’ve been training for.

Those who know Joel with Harmoning Agency know he’s a big fan of Franklin Depot’s Taco Tuesdays. It was the perfect excuse to catch up and enjoy some great food!

Clients near and far, our internet and cell service is down with no recovery in sight. Here’s to an impromptu office clean up day. We’ll try again tomorrow! 🙃 Thanks for understanding the joys of rural internet and working in the river valley!

Last week, Heather and Katie had the chance to speak at Southwest Initiative Foundation’s nonprofit conference, Navigating the Currents, Charting the Course, at Jackpot Junction in Morton.
They led a session on crisis communications for nonprofits, and one of the best parts was running into old friends while they were there. Always fun to see familiar faces out in the wild.
