Indianapolis marketing company relocating, expanding operations

Indianapolis-based TrendyMinds, a marketing, publicity, research and creative design company, has plans to increase its presence in the industry, as well as its physical footprint on its home city.

Earlier this year, the agency announced that it was buying the former Carpenters' Union Hall building in Indianapolis and would be spending approximately $1 million to remodel the facility. The new offices will also include more conference space, state-of-the-art communications technology and a rooftop deck for client gatherings and events.

Tyler Murray, the COO and senior vice president, said the redesign aimed to "spark creativity and encourage collaboration among our staff and clients."

The company has also pledged to create 20 additional jobs by 2014 to help fill out its new location.

"We feel very fortunate to be able to grow our company in Indiana," said Trevor Yager, president and CEO of TrendyMinds. "This expansion will help us to meet our growing needs and continue to recruit top talent and forge stronger relationships with our clients."

Other agencies in the Midwest are celebrating their own successes. In Kentucky, the Center for Rural Development recently took home seven Kentucky Association of Government Communicators awards for brochures, newsletters and other marketing materials.
