Christy DeSmith looks at Target’s dominating influence on the development of commercial art in the Twin Cities: The company has historically eschewed agency-of-record relationships, and instead has spread its projects among multiple agencies and freelancers. Although the creatives at Fallon admire Target, they have never worked with the corporation in their 28-year history. In recent years, Target has retained a handful of the city’s best ad agencies and design firms—Peterson Milla Hooks and Little & Company are among the regulars—and has also given business (especially in-store graphics and product design) to many freelancers and small boutiques.
It is true! You should see the piles of weak targetrons stacked in the donation bins.

Target Corp.’s problem: Its customers are buying less, can’t pay off their credit cards and are switching to Wal-Mart, which trumpets low prices and cheap groceries. The Minneapolis-based retailer’s solution: Go to war.
I read that finally the loopholes are being closed that have allowed giant agri-businesses like Horizon and Archer Farms (Target's so-called organi...

What are we to do when even our “trusty” (a-hem) Target is losing profits? Sure, they’re not as low as Wall Street predicted, but an eight percent drop is nothing to laugh about when we’re talking in billions. Gone are the days of 20- to 25-percent profit margins. Can companies adjust to this new era?
