Prime Advertising Summer Fun

Prime Summer Fun

Don’t you just love summer? I love everything about it. I love the smell of fresh cut grass, sunshine on my face, and jumping into the lake on a hot day. When it isn’t summer, I am counting down the days until it is summer. In fact, the only thing that I don’t like about summer is how fast it goes by. So, when it comes to summer fun in Minnesota, I like to squeeze as much as I can into each day.

Work hard, play hard.

For many, finding the right balance of work and life can be a challenge. Prime makes living life and enjoying summer fun a little easier for employees. To my delight and the delight of my teammates, Prime Advertising & Design closes its office at 11:30 a.m. on Fridays. Our office hours are 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Thursday and 8:00 a.m. -11:30 a.m. on Friday (year-round). That means that at 11:31 a.m., we get a jumpstart on the weekend! It is awesome!

You might be wondering what we do when we aren’t designing websites, brainstorming the next great idea, or laying out a magnificent print piece, right? Well, check out how some of our Prime Advertising & Design team members take advantage of the beautiful days of summer.

<p>Suzanne's family summer doesn’t start until her whole "summer family" is together. They cram into the car and take the MANDITORY family selfie before they head out to that day’s adventure. This year it took until July 14th for that to happen. Their “summer son” Louis joined them from France on July 5th and their first-born son made it home on July 14th from his summer training with US Navy. NOW, summer begins and so do their adventures; Maple Grove Days, a visit to Northern Minnesota, a Minnesota United FC Soccer Game, and whatever else they can cram in before they have to say their “see-you-laters” to their summer son, Louis, and their own babies as they head off to college!</p>
