Writing The Comeback Story of the Most Diverse Street in Minneapolis
In the wake of the civil unrest following George Floyd’s murder in 2020, Lake Street gained a reputation it didn’t deserve. But locals know better. It’s the most diverse street in the city, where East African restaurants, Mexican bakeries, Black-owned shops, queer spaces, and even a British pub, all share one vibrant six-mile stretch of road. MONO’s campaign, “the Lake of 10,000 Lands,” reclaims the narrative. A nod to Minnesota’s nickname, “the Land of 10,000 Lakes,” it showcases Lake Street as a global mosaic: proud, resilient, and bursting with character. From brand identity, to video, OOH, social, and digital, the campaign captures the street’s spirit through an irreverent voice, bold typography, saturated color, and high-contrast visuals inspired by its murals, neon signs, and storefronts.
