Someone visited your website today. Do you know who it was?

For many B2B companies, website traffic gets reduced to a number.

247 visitors. 613 visitors. 1,200 visitors.

But what if some of those visits represent actual companies researching your products or services?

Website Visitor Intelligence can help turn anonymous traffic into actionable business intelligence.

For a manufacturer like Syntex Industries, that changes the conversation from:

“How much traffic did we get?”
to:
“Who is showing interest in what we sell?”

Nestle Purina 50 years in Fort Dodge — and still growing.

The Fall 2026 Business Connection features a great Q&A with Jennifer Michels of Nestlé Purina, highlighting the people, investment and community commitment behind the Fort Dodge facility.

Spin Markket has been fortunate to work alongside the Nestlé Purina team as a vendor and creative partner over the years, including helping plan both their 40th and 50th anniversary celebrations in Fort Dodge and producing video content used for public relations and employee recruitment/HR.

What stands out in this article is that 50 years isn't the end of the story.

Nestlé Purina continues to invest in Fort Dodge, including a several-hundred-million-dollar expansion that will make the Fort Dodge facility the only Purina plant in the United States producing Fancy Feast Gems.

That is a tremendous statement about the workforce, manufacturing capabilities and future of our community.

Congratulations to the entire Nestlé Purina Fort Dodge team. We're proud to have played a small part in helping tell your story — and even more excited to see what comes next.

Proud to Help Tell the Nestlé Purina Fort Dodge Story

It’s exciting to see the continued investment Nestlé Purina is making in Fort Dodge — including the $175 million expansion, 50 new jobs, and the addition of Fancy Feast Gems production.

Spin Markket + Digital has been proud to work with the Nestlé Purina Fort Dodge team on projects that help tell the story of the people, careers, investment, and impact behind this facility.

Last year, we had the opportunity to help celebrate an incredible milestone — 50 years of Nestlé Purina in Fort Dodge — including producing a video that captured the history of the facility, its employees, and its importance to our region.

What makes that project especially valuable is that the story continues to work long after the anniversary celebration. The video has become an asset that can support public relations, recruitment and hiring, workforce development, and community awareness.

That is what we believe great storytelling should do: celebrate where you've been while helping communicate where you're going.

Congratulations to Nestlé Purina and everyone involved in this next chapter of growth in Fort Dodge. We are proud to have played a part in telling the story.

Mayor Dave Flattery, Growth Alliance CEO Astra Ferris, and City of Fort Dodge Government of Fort Dodge Chief Development Officer Chad Schaeffer spent a full day at Nestlé Purina North American headquarters in St. Louis, meeting with operational leadership, marketing staff, and the team guiding the expansion underway here at home.

A few things we learned: roughly one billion cans of Friskies are produced each year at the Fifth Avenue South plant, and the $175 million expansion will make Fort Dodge the first location in North America to produce Fancy Feast Gems, adding 50 net new jobs.

There is no substitute for time spent face-to-face with the companies investing in our region.

What Is an AI Workforce and How Can It Support Your Team?

An AI Workforce is a set of purpose-built AI employees trained on your business, working alongside your human team instead of replacing it. It handles repetitive, time-consuming tasks like lead follow-up, scheduling, and customer questions, freeing your staff to focus on the work that actually needs a human touch. For Fort Dodge business owners stretched thin on staffing, it can be the difference between a missed lead and a closed sale.
