Eleven8’s Clientele

Build your brand's street-level presence in Minneapolis with Eleven8's street teams. From the foot traffic along Nicollet Mall and the North Loop to high-attendance venues like the Minneapolis Convention Center and Target Center, our professionals run campaigns that cut through the clutter and drive real, trackable outcomes.

Our street teams have executed guerrilla marketing campaigns, product launches, and sampling activations for major brands throughout Minneapolis and the wider Upper Midwest region. They know how to engage diverse crowds, distribute materials with purpose, and create the kind of brand interactions that transform a brief encounter into lasting consumer recognition.

Minneapolis's street-level culture flows through a collection of distinct neighborhoods and corridors — each with its own personality, demographic makeup, and energy. Our teams understand the difference between activating in the Warehouse District versus Uptown versus South Minneapolis versus the Bloomington and Edina retail corridors, and they adapt their approach so every campaign feels purpose-built for the environment it's running in — not like a generic execution parachuted into a zip code.
