We first wrote about Spreenkler in 2008. The group has evolved and grown since its inception but at its heart Spreenkler is still an interactive marketing firm that also helps launch software start-ups.
Today, I got word that Spreenkler Talent Labs has leased space in the upper level of the Plankinton Building inside the Shops of Grand Avenue. Flip Eleven Creative, Small Sharp Tools and Tracy Apps Design are three of the start ups that will be housed at the Spreenkler space.
Needless to say, Spreenker’s presence in Downtown and inside the mall is welcomed.
"The Shops of Grand Avenue is very pleased to confirm Spreenkler Talent Labs, an interactive marketing firm, as the first of many future tenants to assume space in the Plankinton Building. Spreenkler brings a renewed sense of interest to The Shops of Grand Avenue as efforts continue to establish an eco-system for Milwaukee’s creative industry," said Tracy Korpela, Marketing & Specialty Leasing Manager at the Shops of Grand Avenue.
To help highlight their new home, Spreenkler hosts a "Hackathon" on Saturday and a Meetup networking event on Wednesday, May 4 at 5:30 p.m.
Spreenkler Talent Labs will move into its new space (most recently Express) on June 1.
