The Advent Group Story: Coming into Being

Mary Younggren, Owner & Principal

What a journey it has been for me as the owner of The Advent Group, Inc.!

When I started my company in 2002, it was the Advent season. As the word “Advent” means “coming into being,” The Advent Group felt like the perfect company name for us. With our TempForce franchise relationship, however, the name stayed tucked away in the background for many years. That is, until 2010, when we launched Advent Creative Group as an independent niche focused on placing creative, marketing and digital talent.

Now, almost thirteen (lucky!) years later, we are “coming into being” in a new way, having just launched our new Advent Talent Group brand, and becoming fully independent.

The timing couldn’t be better! We’ve built a strong company culture with our special brand of resiliency, fun, quirkiness, and caring – and we make a great fit for an independent business. This new independence is especially exciting and fulfilling for me, as it finally feels like the company I took ownership of so many years ago is truly mine.

Every day, I am thankful for the talented people who make up our small but mighty team. Any group of people who works together can be defined as a team, but with their laser-sharp focus on solving problems, and unwavering dedication to helping others and serving our community, our tenured team operates more like group of superheroes!

I look forward to many more fun and successful years ahead; serving our talent, our clients, and our Twin Cities’ community as Advent Talent Group and Advent Creative Group!

Sincerely,
Mary Younggren
