Heart Your Kidneys – GRAAHI

Share the goods.

The past several months, all of us at 834 have been hard at work on the Grand Rapids African American Health Institute, Heart Your Kidney campaign.

The campaign included the following elements, all developed by 834:

  • Campaign creation, development and management
  • Website design – www.heartyourkidneys.org
  • Copyrighting
  • Blogging
  • Social media management and design
  • Public relations
  • Design – logo, fact sheets, print material
  • Workshop development/curriculum
  • Project managment
  • Survey development

Working with non-profits is a passion for 834, and the Grand Rapids African American Health Institute is a phenomenal organization in our community focused on promoting health care parity in the Grand Rapids African American community through advocacy, education and research.
We encourage you to get involved with this ground-breaking organization.

We love this trend, so we thought we’d jump on it and ask the team some “hard-hitting questions” to end the week.

We’re a team made up of Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z. Find out who knows the most about the classics. Any guesses?

We`ve received so many questions from new grads about breaking into a competitive market as a young professional. It starts with one thing according to @bodespeaks: being the salesperson of YOU. Emulate the leaders in your industry and show up where they show up.

It`s not who you know, it`s who knows you
Use the playbook of people you admire
Show up consistently and be seen
A handwritten note beats 100 LinkedIn messages, always.
