Working With Lake One

Digital transformation is complex. From getting stakeholders to align, to navigating a sea of opinions and slew of tools, it’s overwhelming. 

Sometimes you just need a guide. 

A team that gets to know your organization, understands the landscape and helps you and your team blaze a trail to reach your transformation goals. 

That’s Lake One. 

We make big change possible in simple, yet strategic strokes, using a structured and collaborative approach to problem-solving. 

We get to know your business, envision its future, and make the journey to that future possible by supporting everyday decisions and actions that generate lasting impact.

 

When you work with Lake One, you get a partner who gets to know your business: its challenges and opportunities. 

 

It’s from this vantage point that we recommend and build solutions.

 

 We work with a host of valued partners, but it’s the problems you have that need solving, and the opportunities you have that need seizing that guide us - not the playbooks of the tools and technologies we support.

Our Charitable Partner

Pinky Swear

Pinky Swear Foundation helps kids with cancer and their families by supporting their basic needs and developing unique family programs. Lake One provides Pinky Swear Foundation with marketing consulting and services to expand its reach and impact. The nonprofit was founded more than a decade ago on the pinky-swear promise between a child and parent. The small part we play in keeping that promise alive is humbling.

Lake One Origins

What the heck is with our name? We’re based in Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes. Well… over 11,800 lakes if you want to get technical (which we love doing). If you take the Fernberg Trail from Ely in northern Minnesota, the trail ends, poetically, at a lake called Lake One.


This lake holds a special place in our founder’s heart. As an entry point into the greater Boundary Waters, Lake One represents a starting point on the map for a more engaging and meaningful journey. While the journey itself can, at times, be challenging, it’s always deeply rewarding to navigate change with clients throughout their transformations.

The Lake One Arrowhead

Arrowheads have a special meaning here in the land of 10,000 lakes. We lovingly call the north east corner of our state (and home to our namesake) the arrowhead region of Minnesota. Many summer days of our childhoods could be spent finding the relics of the past in fields and forests.


The arrowhead was responsible for making sure the arrow created impact. We adopt the likeness of the arrowhead to reflect our endeavors to make impact for our clients on their digital transformation journeys.
