This week’s Up-and-Comer is Hannah Stromseth, a marketing specialist for Results Townsquare Media.

Name: Hannah Stromseth

Age: 31

Hometown: Hutchinson, Minnesota, “and happily living in Hartford, South Dakota”

What brought you to Sioux Falls?

Respiratory therapy school at Dakota State University brought me to South Dakota!

What keeps you in Sioux Falls?

The opportunities! From working at Avera to now Results Townsquare Media, there have been amazing people, with ‘opportunity doors’ wide open if you are willing to put in the work. And, of course, my hubby, son and two rescue pups — shoutout to Almost Home Canine Rescue!

What’s your favorite thing about your job?

Helping my clients win. Growing their brands and seeing the success that comes from doing the right things in business, and marketing them well.

How did you get connected to your industry?

The B.I.G. South Dakota job fair. I got an internship that has led to an eight-year career — and counting.

Describe your workplace in three words.

Dynamic, high-voltage, creative.

What is something someone might be surprised to learn about you?

I own two professional art businesses! On nights and weekends, you’ll find me painting large-scale murals at a local business or at an event painting faces.

What’s your favorite way to give back to your community?

Volunteering time and resources with committees like Hartford Farmers Market, Girl Scout Cookies Corks & Brews and The Watering Can. Each gives back in different ways. Community doesn’t build itself. Get involved!

What’s one business you’d like to see in Sioux Falls that isn’t here now?

Good question. Amusement park?

If you had $1 million to start a business, what kind of business would it be?

A mashup of animal rescue plus thrift store bus tour, plus romantasy books, plus really good food, plus immersive art. If you’ve got any ideas — or have a good book rec — let me know!
