The Des Moines Derby Dames

The Des Moines Derby Dames

MI is very proud to be helping the Des Moines Derby Dames continue to blow up Des Moines. 

Founded by Malay Bouaphakeo (Show Stopper) in 2009.  Her mission is to bring roller derby to Des Moines and its surrounding communities. She wanted to create a group of women who, with hard work, dedication, passion, and a desire to give back to its community, will make Des Moines Derby Dames a household name.

At MI we help the Dames with design, promotion and general mass destruction. Check out their bout this Saturday, October 16th at 7 Flags Event Center.

Congratulations to Kathleen Riessen

The American Advertising Federation (AAF) has presented Measured Intentions Client Services Director and Co-Founder Kathleen Riessen with the title of President of the Year for Division III. 

Only two people  in the history of AAF Des Moines have received this honor, Jennifer Simpson in 2008 and now Kathleen in 2010. We are really proud of Kathleen for all the hard work she put into her run on the AAF board and happy that she could be recognized for it with this award. 

Kathleen's quest for wold domination continues when she accepted a position at the AAF District Board level, representing District Nine. Only five people in the 100 year history of Des Moines AAF chapter has ever served at this level. We wish Kathleen the best as she moves on to this role.
