'Marketing Minute' Podcast Show Offers Ideas on Brand Creation, Lead Generation and Everything in Between

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 11 /PRNewswire/ -- Provident Partners, a full-service marketing and public relations firm in St. Paul, today became the first marketing firm to join PodcastMN.com, "the sound of Minnesota."
