Drew Barrymore holds up Lavender Life's neck wrap

Whether it was the result of a well-timed star alignment or simply the fact that we aim to elevate women’s voices all year round, we were able to tell some pretty awesome stories about some badass ladies during Women’s History Month.

Take a gander (it’s what all the kids are saying) at what we’ve been up to this past month and then call us cause we’re awesome at PR.

Drew’s Our Girl

Our client, Lavender Life was featured on The Drew Barrymore show where Drew and Ross chatted about the Comfort Therapy Duo. The neck wrap and eye pillow, heavenly both hot and cold, are packed with nearly 1 lb. of non-GMO grains and of course, lavender. They hold the heat beautifully when warmed and cast that divinely signature, lavender scent. Let’s be honest, we could all use a little more chill nowadays.

We worked with Drew’s amazing producer to provide gifts for audience members and samples for Drew to try out. This was a big win for our client, and resulted in 153% increase in sales from the following month.

Yeah, we’re pretty damn proud of that.

Mental Health

With one wild, world-tipping year under our collective belts, we figured March was as good of time as any to take on the subject of mental health. The Cascade Community Foundation launched their Q&A Livestream, “Isolated – A Mental Health Discussion” to tackle the topic of suicide, mental illness and more. As a company that champions mental health and has implemented mental health days agency-wide, we were incredibly proud to underwrite the series.

Kim chats with WZZM’s Val Lego here. Kim also wrote an article on her mental health journey. Read it here.

Expanding again

Our client, Gateway Pediatric Therapy, just can’t stop growing, and we’re thrilled to fan their flame. They announced their 9th location this month in Owosso. They chatted with Michigan Business Network, Grand Rapids Business Journal, Argus Press and WGVU.

There is even more coming up for our amazing client. You’ll just need to stay tuned.

We also were given the opportunity to share the story of La Fuente Communications, author Wade Rouse’s newest book release, and TOC Logistics take on the Biden Administrations major priorities in their first 100 days.

Keep your eyes glued here all year as we continue to make waves—it’s only March after all, and we’re just getting started. Reach out to us for PR support. We got you.

Something on Your Mind?

Running 8THIRTYFOUR on EOS has allowed our team to find consistency in what we do and given us a framework to hold each other accountable. 

It's why @bodespeaks highlighted it in her latest @fastcompany contribution.

We put everything business owners, employees, and educators told us on the wall, and guess what... yeah, some of it was mean. 

The point is, everyone is saying it about each other, not to each other, and nothing is getting fixed that way. 

Thanks to everyone who showed up to have the Uncomfortable Conversation on the skills crisis, and whether you were there or not, let us know what the next one should be.

Defense and manufacturing run on precision, protocols, and deadlines. When a team miscommunicates... things slip, and the cost adds up.

Kim will be at the Michigan Defense Expo in Detroit on May 13 to talk about the Hard Cost of Soft Skills (or as we call them, survival skills) and what we can all do about it.

If not for you, do it for her. 

@bodespeaks will be talking to @sheleadssocietymi on May 21 about Big Deal Energy™ and what it means to own what makes you - you. 

Don't let mediocre men tell you you're too much. That's on them. 

Come to the talk, it'll be fun. Link in bio.
We always say work smarter, which means bringing in expertise you don't have and hiring people who make your team more complete. 

That's what Kim Bode said in a recent @fastcompany article on building sustainability into your business.
