FINN Partners has opened a Minneapolis office, its fifth location in the Midwest and 39th globally. The new office will have a 10-person team supporting clients including Hormel Foods, Medtronic, and Life Time. The office is led by four senior partners with expertise in creative strategy, consumer lifestyle, health communications, and crisis management. The team serves Minnesota's key economic sectors, including health and life sciences, outdoor and sports, consumer brands, and technology. The Minneapolis location joins FINN Partners' existing Midwest offices in Chicago, Columbus, Detroit, and Madison, Wisconsin. The firm provides earned-first public relations, social and influencer marketing, digital marketing, and Generative Engine Optimization services. The office is overseen by Dan Pooley, founding managing partner for the Midwest region.

FINN Partners has opened a new office in Columbus, Ohio, appointing Marty McDonald as managing partner and Midwest deputy. The move expands the independent marketing and communications agency's US presence into one of the Midwest's fastest-growing business hubs. McDonald will lead the Columbus office whilst supporting regional growth, working alongside Dan Pooley, founding managing partner and Midwest lead. She will also join FINN's global travel leadership team. Previously, McDonald spent over two decades at Fahlgren Mortine, most recently as the agency's first female president. In her new role, she will focus on B2B and B2C organisations, particularly in domestic tourism, economic development, healthcare, and logistics sectors. The downtown Columbus office is set to open in September 2026. FINN Partners now operates 38 offices globally with more than 1,300 professionals.

The office will support organisations navigating communications between India's scientific talent and international markets, particularly the US. Managing Partner Aman Gupta noted that Hyderabad combines an established pharmaceutical ecosystem with substantial technology and engineering capabilities. The city's GCCs are evolving beyond operational support to lead global research, development, and innovation. The expanded operation connects clients with FINN Partners' expertise across India, the US, and its network of over 37 offices globally.
