studio503 brings a distinct approach to strategic business development by discovering unrealized opportunities and harnessing the power of partnerships to bring products and brands from ideation to execution.
"I admire studio503 because it recognizes an overlooked fundamental in business: the power of partnerships. Most leaders are too competitive to see where the right partners—even competitors—can take them, but founder Michael Walters gets it. It is through his strategic vision and partnerships that he landed at number #43 in the 2021 Inc. 5000, and #1 in the State of Minnesota. When you understand today’s business landscape like Michael does, you understand the power of partnership, which in his case means the savvy and skill to activate not just a handful of staffers but the very best teams around the world to achieve goals."

"After working with Michael and his team for over 10 years, they have proven to go above and beyond my expectations to help our brand exposure grow and sales increase despite the ups and downs of the economy. Working quietly behind the scenes, networking with endemic companies in a synergy that flat-out benefits all parties involved - they help make things happen that we would never have thought of. I can’t wait to see what they do next….always surprising me with the next great idea backed up with proven results. Thank you Studio503! We are better because of your mission to make a difference."
