Communications Intern (Summer 2016) - MN

  • Intern

Company Description

FLM+ specializes in the business of agriculture and the life of rural communities. Yes, we’re a strategic marketing and communications company. And yes, the FLM+ team represents the best and brightest to ensure a collaborative, contemporary, multi-faceted and on-target approach in everything we do. But what really separates us from the rest is our raw passion to produce the absolute best work possible and to get involved in what really matters. We are driven, not only by working with our clients to propel continuous success and far-reaching results, but also by never losing sight of the meaning behind our work.

FLM+ was established in 2006 to serve the business of agriculture and the life of rural communities. Phillip Farmer, John Lumpe and Rob McClelland had a vision of a hybrid company combining the best practices of consulting firms, communications agencies and learning services companies. And to foster and nourish success they built everything around the concept of Wide open thinking™.

In 2015, FLM+ joined the Land O’Lakes family as a wholly owned subsidiary. Land O’Lakes, Inc., one of America’s premier agribusiness and food companies, is a member-owned cooperative with industry-leading operations that span the spectrum from agricultural production to consumer foods. With 2014 annual sales of $15 billion, Land O’Lakes is one of the nation’s largest cooperatives, ranking 199 on the Fortune 500.

With offices in Columbus, OH, Minneapolis, MN, Washington, D.C., and Indianapolis, IN, FLM+ thrives in an atmosphere of entrepreneurialism and collaboration where technology is embraced and passion applauded.
