Marinette and Menominee move into the Top 10 UW-Green Bay personnel with our branch campus in Marinette, Wis. were excited to hear that Marinette/Menominee, Mich. moved to one of the Top 10 communities chosen by “Small Business Revolution” to vie in coming months for a chance at a half-million dollars in business and community renovations and upgrades. Amanda Brinkman, the creator of the “Small Business Revolution — Main Street” (SBR) concept and series that has aired on Hulu for the past three years, made the announcement in December. Menominee and Marinette will now be visited by Brinkman and her team in January, when the Twin Cities will share their story and open their doors with the hopes of being chosen for the Top 5. Brinkman is the chief brand and communications officer at Deluxe Corp., a leading provider of marketing services and products for small businesses. 28
