Happy Holidays and Thank You!

Cheers and good tidings to everyone! As we all get ready to close out the year and celebrate with our families, our team at 4Front Studios just wanted to take a moment to reflect on what an amazing inaugural year it has been for us.

We started 2022 with a bit of uncertainty as a new business venture. Two businesses and business owners joined forces, bright eyed and optimistic. Without knowing entirely what we were getting ourselves into, Jeff and I did what we did best: committing 150% to the work and clients we serve while continuing to put ourselves out there.

With a bit of luck, and tons of support from our friends and family in the community, 4Front Studios cleared all of the goals that we set out to do in 2022! Our work has been featured not just regionally, but also on an international level as well. And just as importantly, our goal to help 100 local businesses this year (Mission 100) was an outstanding success!

In April we celebrated our official ribbon cutting with the Greater Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce, and our studio space was packed. Later in May, we were honored to speak as presenters at 1 Million Cups - Sioux Falls. By continually engaging our immediate community while simultaneously daring to dream bigger and broader, 4Front Studios grew at a rate that neither of us could have expected.

Throughout the summer and fall, we found ourselves consistently traveling as we helped our clients broaden their impact with content initiatives. We also began to form a bit of a specialty in helping nonprofits and worthy causes tell their stories through the work we’ve been blessed to be a part of such as Lost&Found, Face It Together, DakotAbilities, and the VOA - Dakotas.

4Front Studios also found itself becoming a partner in helping develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem of Sioux Falls through our work with Startup Sioux Falls and the SD CEO Women’s Business Center East. Jeff and I both realize that we could not be where we are today without, those who came before us, so small business and entrepreneurship will always hold a special place in our hearts.

To round out the year, Jeff and I attended the Onward Summit in Michigan so that we could connect with others in our industries and bring back knowledge on how to better serve our clients. We also found ourselves criss-crossing states as the reach of our clientele began to grow.

As we close out the year, we cannot stress enough the importance that all of our friends, families, clients, and supporters have in our success. Jeff and I feel so privileged every day to do the work we do and we could not do that alone. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for such a wonderful first year at 4Front Studios!
