For those of you that don’t know, but should know…834 Design & Marketing co-hosts the segment Your Biz, Your Town with WGVU’s Shelley Irwin the 4th Friday of every month.

Each month, we cram the studio with movers and shakers…and sometimes animals to delight listeners and make them aware of all the great happenings in west Michigan.

We welcomed Thought Design, Baker Holtz and Mind Meets Music on this brisk cool day in October. As usual, we had lots of Biggby coffee to warm ourselves and guests.
