A dog stares at the camera with big brown eyes.

If you only know one thing about us, it’s probably that we love dogs. Currently, we have eight office dogs that we share our workspace with, but we have decided to expand. We can’t contain our love for dogs and we figured, why should we?

A Furry Friends Agency

While we have always been dog-friendly, we are thrilled to announce a shift in our integrated communications approach. We will no longer be doing marketing for businesses and non-profits. Instead, we’re going to focus solely on canine clients.
From branding and public relations to website design and content marketing, our expert team has the skills and expertise to take your four-legged friend from dog park wallflower to the bark of the town.

A Message from Our Fearless Leader

Our industry is constantly evolving. Dog accounts and appearances are taking the world by storm, and we believe that we can fill the void. Our goal is to take over dog marketing so that dog-momagers (or dog-parentagers, but that doesn’t have as good of a ring to it) are able to pursue their own ventures outside of managing their dogs’ accounts and publicity.
Our founder and boss lady, Kim Bode, shares why we believe this is a great transition for our agency. “We have found that those of the canine variety are much better communicators than their human counterparts. We are excited about this new direction for the agency and are actively taking on new furry clients”

Tested and Proven Results

Our Digital Associate, Megan, shares that this announcement has been in the making for a long time now. “This may seem like it’s coming out of nowhere, but we’ve actually been testing the shift to only dog content on our social media for months. The organic engagement on these posts far outweighs our expectations and blasts industry standards out of the water. Converting to a dogs-only firm was only the next logical step.”
With experience in managing personal dog social media accounts, our Creative Lead, Chelsea, who is currently a dog-momager, will be able to combine her personal ventures with her passion for creative design in-house. She says that 8THIRTYFOUR’s shift is a “dream come true” for her.

Hand Over the Leash

We are now accepting canine clients. Please visit our contact page to submit a message. Don’t forget to include what holes we can fill for your dog’s social media presence, along with what breed of dog you have. We are excited to have you join us on this new adventure!

The power of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship, in a graduate's own words:

"Growth is never accidental, it comes from being willing to learn, adapt, and embrace change. After nine months of dedication, reflection, and business development, I proudly graduated from the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF) during the Small Business Association of Michigan Annual Meeting.

Throughout the program, I challenged myself to evaluate every aspect of my business, celebrating what was working while identifying opportunities for growth and improvement. The journey was made even more meaningful through the support of an incredible cohort of women entrepreneurs, the guidance of mentor Gina Jacquart Thorsen, and the leadership of bodespeaks and her team.

A sincere thank you to smallbusinessassocofmichigan for investing in second-stage women business owners and creating opportunities that empower entrepreneurs to build stronger, more sustainable businesses."

— Mary A. Barton, President and CEO of Equitable Accounting Solutions and proud WEF graduate.

Applications for the next cohort are now open. Link in comments.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

bodespeaks joined cuzzinjustin on the strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between.

AI doesn't treat every source equally; it trusts what's credible, cited, and current, like news coverage.

Showing up in the right places isn't just good PR. It's how the robots (and the humans) get you right.

"If you don't get up and grind every day, the needle isn't gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
