About
A Full-Service Creative Agency
For over thirty years, Imagewërks Marketing has helped hundreds of businesses, large and small, achieve measurable growth and success. What started as a two-man print shop has grown into one of Minnesota’s top marketing agencies with clients nationwide.
Integrated Marketing from Integrated Companies
Our diverse team specializes in brand strategy, creative messaging and design, SEO, website development, mobile advertising, and social media marketing. Through our parent company, Streamworks, our team can offer highly secure on-site direct mail, printing, and fulfillment services along with a full suite of data processing capabilities.
Today, Imagewërks and Streamworks work under one roof, bringing right brain and left brain thinking together to create dynamic, highly targeted traditional and digital marketing solutions for a wide range of industries. It’s here, in our Blaine, MN headquarters, where ideas meet analytics, data meets design, and rubber meets road.
Big Agency Reach. Small Agency Touch.
On most jobs, we work as closely with our clients as we do each other. While we have a lot of confidence in our ideas, we’re here to offer expertise, not attitude.
We work together to create work that doesn’t just draw attention to itself, but provokes response, builds brands, and grows business. After all, a clever campaign that fails to meet an objective is just an idea at play. For true marketing success, you need ideas@wërk.

Chris May Sikora
Creative Director
Although born and raised a Minnesotan, Chris May earned her degree in journalism and mass communications at New Mexico State University. She then went on to attend Miami Ad School Minneapolis for art direction and design, which led her overseas to an internship at Berlin’s Schultz & Friends ad agency. After graduating, she was recruited to Dallas by Hawkeye WW, where she worked on creative campaigns for several nationally recognized companies. Missing the Midwest, Chris eventually returned to Minnesota to join the team at Imagewërks Marketing.
Chris’s design inspiration comes from surrounding herself with Pantone swatches, paper samples, innovative printing techniques, software shortcuts, design blogs and creative new formats—all of which empowers her to develop the freshest, boldest ideas for each new project.

Chuck Mohrfeld
Senior Designer
With a B.A. in communications from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and a graphic design degree from Brown Institute, Chuck’s career began at Anheuser Busch where he developed point of sale promotional marketing. He was then hired by The MainStreet Group in St. Paul as a graphic designer for cable advertising clients like Comcast, Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable.
When Imagewërks Marketing acquired The MainStreet Group in 2001, Chuck’s cable and communications industry experience parlayed him into an expanded role. At Imagewërks, Chuck is responsible for concepting, designing and producing campaigns for his clients, all with the start-to-finish forethought of a project manager. His uncanny ability to cut through tangential marketing issues and other shrapnel gives Chuck the know-how to create campaigns that are strategy-driven, consumer-centric and outcome-based.
Chuck @ wërk
Chuck’s extensive design experience has honed an instinctive, almost reflexive ability to turn the marketing team’s notes and ideas into solid, executable creative platforms in record time.
Chuck @ play
Loves the idea of taking a nap, or better yet, sawing logs for one solid night. But until that day comes, Chuck enjoys house projects, kid time and the pleasure of mixing a really good martini.
Chuck @ home
Happy but bleary-eyed (see sleep deprivation reference above), Chuck lives in Shoreview with his wife, young son and daughter.

eddie.faulkner@streamworksmn.com
After attending Florida State University, Eddie began his career in a more tropical environment. Though he started in a marketing data sales capacity, he realized that he wanted to be more involved in the digital and agency side of the industry, which is what eventually brought him North. His main areas of focus include marketing automation, analytics, and data-driven marketing.
Eddie @ wërk
Storm-chasing tendencies led Eddie to begin his college career studying meteorology. While he was fascinated by hurricanes, he ended up finding his niche in marketing. Eddie is a lifecycle marketer through and through. He demonstrates ongoing, meticulous, and efficient communication throughout the entire professional relationship. A little TLC goes a long way, and the success usually follows.
Eddie @ play
Eddie is married, and his two young daughters occupy most of his free time. However, if he manages to sneak away from home, you’ll be sure to find him on the fairway practicing his swing. Unlike in Florida, golf is not a year-round sport here in Minnesota, so he spends the winter months cheering on his favorite pro teams instead. In an attempt to fully embrace his inner-Minnesotan, Eddie roots for the Minnesota teams- as long as they aren’t playing the Mets, Denver Broncos, Buffalo Sabres or Florida State Football!
Eddie @ home
Eddie happily accepts any and all nap opportunities, but they don’t come often. Weekends at the Faulkner household often consist of chauffeuring their daughters to their many sporting activities. With so much time spent in the car with two young kids, Kidz Bop has become the default radio station. Eddie’s wife, Nicole, is a local attorney and they are often juggling crazy schedules, but when Mom and Dad go off-duty, they enjoy watching The Walking Dead, or relaxing at the family cabin.

A coffee loving, motivated, solution-seeker, Jen knew marketing was for her early-on. After honing her skills for several years in corporate brand marketing, Jen brought her love of creating effective marketing strategies into the client-facing side of the industry. She reads anything she can get her hands on about the business to stay on trend and to find innovative strategic solutions for her client’s needs.
Jen @ wërk
There is nothing more exciting for Jen than seeing her clients completely thrilled with how a project turned out – whether it’s a beautiful brand, record breaking acquisitions or finding efficiencies that saved time and money – to Jen, it’s better than chocolate covered coffee beans.
Jen @ play
Jen loves traveling, reading, coffee (duh), and all things interior design – HGTV is her jam. She has fun experimenting in the kitchen with new recipes to share with her family & friends, and she wants to get a hole-in-one with her golf league one day.

You can usually find Jen brewing a fresh batch of coffee, or trying to keep up with her energetic housemate, a Golden Retriever named Wrenley.

As half of the ownership team that created Streamworks, Joe Klohn grew up in the direct mail and printing industries – literally. Some of his earliest memories are of being on the production floor, watching the equipment run, and distracting the operators with endless questions and requests to give it a try. Once he was old enough, Joe held nearly every position in the company including delivery driver, machine operator, account management and sales.
He has used that 20+ years of experience to guide Streamworks’ evolution into a strategic multi-channel marketing partner, focusing on sales and operations.

Joe is a proud husband and father to three active kids (who have yet to spend time on the production floor).

matt.morisette@iwmarketing.com
Matt attended St. Cloud University, in his home town, a.k.a.: Utopia, Paradise, Heaven on Earth. A veteran of the United States Marine Corps and a former Marine Corps Marital Arts Instructor, we believe whatever he says about St. Cloud, or his opinions on pretty much anything else after seeing the size of his biceps. Matt brings the precision of a military bed corner to everything he does. As a result, he continually looks for easier and more efficient ways for his clients to update content on their websites.
In the last months with the Marine Corps, his proudest moment was being selected as a liaison to Dover Air Force Base. His assignment was to prepare the remains of fallen Marines to be escorted to their places of burial. We are proud to have Matt on our team, proud of his service to our country and always aware that he could squish us like a bug.
Matt @ wërk
Matt is motivated by working with designers to bring complex concepts to life, especially those that stretch his skillset. Like a military exercise, he enjoys the extensive preparation and planning that most effectively uses his resources and generates ways to minimize repeat actions during a building of a website.
Matt @ home
His two boys know he is a complete marshmallow when it comes to them and are able to launch multiple sneak attacks at a moment’s notice while Matt tries desperately to distract them with his really-really lame Dad jokes (don’t tell him we said he was lame).

Working out…again with the biceps, winning ping-pong tournaments and spending time with his family.

Nick Benoit
Creative Graphic Designer
Don’t let his humbleness fool you. Nick’s cool, calm and conceptual approach brings ideas to life. Involved with the world of art at a very young age (he was painting and drawing masterpieces as a kid), Nick found his true calling at the Art Institutes International in Minneapolis where he earned a B.S. in graphic design.
He finds it difficult to pin down one of his biggest professional accomplishments, of course, but he’s the proudest when he gets to see his work out there for public consumption doing its job and achieving results for the client.
IWM’s clients benefit from Nick’s desire to constantly create and reinvent. He’ll take any brand in any industry and give it a tailored look that reflects their distinct business. It’s a challenge he always looks forward to.

Will Johnson
Digital Marketing Specialist
Will Johnson
Digital Marketing Specialist
A self-proclaimed data nerd, Will was born and raised right here in Minnesota before graduating with degrees in Marketing and Sociology from the University of Iowa. He returned to Minnesota to begin his professional career at the small marketing agency he interned in high school. His work has brought him to nearly every corner of the country (more often than not in a loaded 26-foot truck) as he rounded out his marketing resume. He's worked on everything from events and print media to digital and analytics, even hiring a social media influencer or two along the way!
Name @ wërk
In digital marketing, numbers tell a story, and it's Will's job to figure out what that story is telling us. Being able to interpret data into actionable recommendations is a core function of Will's position at Imagewërks. Because of this, you can usually find him waist-deep in Google Ads, Analytics, and Data Studio tabs. He also has a creative side, so don’t be surprised if a piece of copywriting slides across your desk with his name at the top! Name @ play
Staying active is a big part of Will's life. Most days, you can find him running, swimming, hitting the gym, or playing sports, depending on what Minnesota weather dictates. He's also a beer aficionado and loves visiting all the breweries the Twin Cities has to offer (Venn Brewing off Hiawatha is his favorite, though).
Name @ home
As an often disappointed Minnesota sports fan, you can usually find Will watching the late-season collapse of the Vikings, Twins, or Wild. He's also not too shabby in the kitchen and is locally famous for his Cowboy Caviar recipe!
