TESTIMONIALS & MEDIA

“HAVING FIRST-HAND EXPERIENCE IN WORKING WITH JENNY ON LARGE SCALE SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT VENUES (US BANK STADIUM AND ALLEGIANT STADIUM), I CAN TELL YOU THERE’S NOBODY BETTER IN THE INDUSTRY TO HELP BRING VISION, ORGANIZATION, AND LIFE TO YOUR PROJECT.  WHETHER IT’S SPONSORSHIP INTEGRATION, BRANDING AND GRAPHICS, OR THE MANAGEMENT OF FF/E – JENNY IS A “JILL” OF ALL TRADES.  HER PROJECT MANAGEMENT EXPERTISE IS EXEMPLARY, AND SHE IS ONE OF THE HARDEST WORKING MOM’S I HAVE EVER MET.  I’VE TRIED TO RECRUIT JENNY TO WORK FOR MORTENSON MANY TIMES – BUT THIS WOMAN HAS A MISSION TO DO GREAT THINGS ON HER OWN AND I FULLY RESPECT THAT.”   

- ERIC W. GRENZ

VICE PRESIDENT & GENERAL MANAGER – MORTENSON 

“Jenny & I worked closely together for several years on a variety of different projects – U.S. Bank Stadium, Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center, Omni Viking Lakes, and the 200-acre Viking Lakes campus.  She has a great approach and strong ability to connect with corporate partners, as well as team executives – while effectively navigating the construction aspects of projects.  Jenny is a rock star, great to work with, and always delivers!”

- Steve LaCroix

Former EVP & CMO – Minnesota Vikings

“Jenny is the true definition of a partner.  I often referred to her as our co-pilot, as she consistently navigated us through tight timelines and challenging circumstances.  And she always did it with a great attitude and a calming influence.  Her number one goal is to meet her client’s goals and objectives, but she isn’t afraid to tell you what you don’t want to hear if it’s in the best interest of your project.  The combination of her vast knowledge and even temperament are just a couple of the things that set her apart.  I would recommend Jenny and RISE to anyone looking to tell their brand story through a new or existing venue.  She is as reliable as they come.  I feel lucky to have had her as a co-pilot and to still call her a friend.”

“RISE’s experience at every stage of the design and branding of new facility projects and events is an asset to any organization. Rise understands what the client needs to be thinking about, providing peace of mind that priorities will be looked after across the various stages and complexities of major projects, whether that is the overall design, branding, art, graphics, or FF&E. “

“We knew early on with the Allegiant Stadium build that we wanted to get the best people involved on this project. And bonus points if they've worked on a stadium before. We reached out to the Minnesota Vikings, since they had recently completed US Bank Stadium, and they mentioned how Jenny Haag was an asset to their build and that she'd potentially be available to help us as well on a consulting basis. Connecting with Jenny was one of the best decisions we made. From a stadium marketing, sponsorship, and art program standpoint, she'd been through all of this once before - and her knowledge of the process and timing from start to finish was invaluable. We leaned on her first as a consultant - assisting Las Vegas design and fabrication experts ASTOUND - with integrating new and excited corporate partners by helping to show how their brands could enhance the look and feel of Allegiant Stadium. And then we also utilized her talents to help coordinate and navigate our Allegiant Stadium Art Collection. She was integral in keeping the art program, artists, and all of us on schedule and focused on a set goal: to create an Art Collection that makes Las Vegas and Raider Nation proud. I'm so thankful for the guidance that Jenny has provided throughout this crazy ride, and I'm even more thankful to now call her a friend.”
