Here at the 8THIRTYFOUR office, it can get kind of loud. After all, with dogs running around the office, meetings, dogs barking, phones ringing, chatter, dogs sitting on your lap, being shot at with Nerf darts (which is happening as we type this blog), and more, it’s easy to get distracted. But despite all that, […]
At 8THIRTYFOUR, we’ve always been proud to be in the advertising, marketing, and public relations industries. In fact, it’s sort of what we think about all the time. And that’s because we love it.

We love them both, we couldn’t function without our processes and deadlines. Traditionally speaking, marketing agencies might be at the top of the list of businesses that don’t have formal or […]
Digital is kind of our thing. It ties into our differentiators – data, people, ideas. It’s an effective strategy for pretty much every client. Digital can be pretty confusing, sometimes we think the powers that be want it to stay that way (looking at you Google), so we’re answering your frequently asked questions. HOW OFTEN […]
