Explore has become an extension of our team and a part of our work-family. They treat our account as if it was their own business, they understand and speak our jargon and they immerse themselves in our community so they truly understand how to approach our customer. They are consummate professionals and come to the table with creativity, passion and ideas that produce results. Mindy and Sarah are a dynamic team that we have fun working with, but more importantly, they lead us and make us better by being the experts in their field. We can’t say enough positive things about Explore Communications!

Mindy Gantner and I have crossed career paths several times over the past two decades. I trust her judgement and recommendations with no hesitation. She brings a level of knowledge and expertise to media buying that is top notch. She introduced me to her team at Explore that holds her same high standards for performance and professionalism. It's been an extremely beneficial partnership for Downtown Boulder and I'd highly recommend the Explore Communications team to anyone looking for the best in media planning and buying services.

Downtown Boulder

While we have experienced many successes, it's what is behind Explore Communications that is most influential. Explore has the expertise, experience and knowledge of a large agency with the dedication, determination, responsiveness and character of a true partner. The depth of their relationships with local media has assisted us in reaching and exceeding our attendance goals year over year for the Denver Home Show. Explore Communications offers invaluable industry insights and strong media recommendations that become even more valuable as the landscape of media and consumption of it continues to change and evolve. Explore Communications' personal attention is the driving force behind achieving the results experienced. With an approach that is both collaborative and supportive, they cultivate a campaign built from a deep understanding of your target audience. And then pair that with their superior expertise and knowledge of the local media to resonate within the market, all with your goals at the forefront.

When the integrated marketing and recruitment team at the University of Northern Colorado needed expert counsel in media planning and buying, and a good dose of creative thinking, it found it in Explore. Becky, Mindy, and Rachael are generous with their time and expertise, helping us build and deploy sophisticated state-wide campaigns in support of our undergraduate, graduate and Extended Campus recruitment goals while elevating awareness of UNC overall. In Explore we’ve got a partner we can (and do) rely on.

I have been working with Explore Communications for nearly two years for a variety of our field and national media needs. Mindy, Cassie and their team have been one of the best agency partners I have ever worked with. They are incredibly responsive, flexible, and understanding of our varying needs. They are true experts in the media world who are thoughtful in their approach, process and reporting. We have utilized Explore Communications in both patient facing and business facing campaigns, and they have created innovative campaigns to reach whatever target we have thrown at them. And they are incredibly friendly and approachable. They are a true pleasure to work with. Explore Communications is a wonderful agency partner and I highly recommend them.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Explore Communications twice now in my career. Both times, they’ve produced phenomenal, and measurable, results in very different product categories. Brett and Mindy are true experts in their field. Explore Communications attracts the best talent in the business and I always know that I will be working with a great team on any project.

I’ve partnered with Becky and the Explore Communications team for over five years now and can say without a doubt that the professionalism, creativity and dedication of this team is unmatched by other agencies. Throughout our partnership, Explore has navigated challenges with us—be it tight timelines, limited resources, etc.—to create successful media campaigns in Denver and across the U.S. I couldn’t imagine working with a better or more capable team!

Partnering with Explore has served us very well over the years as our relationship with their team has grown along with our trust in them to deliver very well thought out strategies and result-oriented media campaigns that align with our organizational goals. They are great listeners and act truly as a part of our organizational team while having our backs and supporting all of our needs throughout the year. Additionally, Mindy, Sarah, and Nicole are always very proactive and participate in conversations and creative development with our internal team and our creative agency at key times throughout the year. They are truly all-in when it comes to supporting us and our media execution, and we appreciate them greatly for all of their hard work.

While the Fall colors are changing and we are officially saying good-bye to summer, Explore has been changing too! Last week we welcomed our newest staff member, Emily Blomquist! Emily is our new Media Coordinator and will be helping on all Explore clients and projects. We are thrilled to have Emily on board and look forward to introducing her to everyone soon. In the meantime, get to know her a little below.

Emily is from San Antonio but left Texas to attend college at CU Boulder and study Marketing and Information Management. Emily comes to us from Ginball Digital Marketing where she worked as a Social Media Coordinator and Old School Insights where she was a Creative Strategist. We cannot wait to put her social and research skills to practice at Explore!! When asked what she likes best about marketing and advertising, she answered that she loves understanding the entire process from start to finish and knowing how ads find their way to right target. We couldn’t agree more!

When not at work, you might find Emily exploring new mountain towns and spending time with friends. She is particularly fond of Telluride (how can you not be!) where she enjoyed the Bluegrass Festival this past summer. She also fills her time tracking the Long Dog Debry to get her fix of Dachshunds and listening to True Crime podcasts.

As with all of us here at Explore, Emily was tasked with writing a Haiku to describe herself. We can’t help but feel like she fits in perfectly!!
