A thank you letter addressed to “Our Clients” from 8THIRTYFOUR rests on a team member’s desk.

We’re not big into feelings and lovey-dovey stuff over here but we have to tell you, 2021 wouldn’t have happened without our incredible clients. 

Partnering with small businesses, non-profit organizations and even international corporations is no small feat for a team of our size. We take pride in the tailored approach we deliver to all of our clients and in turn, we’ve had a record-breaking year. 

We’ve been able to be part of some pretty damn big things! We’ve pushed 26 businesses into the 21st century with new websites and a foundation for digital growth. We’ve had over 500 pieces of earned media for organizations that trusted us to get their message in the right hands. We’ve had 15 businesses ask for our expertise to rebrand and position them in the right audiences. We’ve had 34 companies need comprehensive strategies for everything from their messaging, branding, public relations down to launch and specific campaigns. 

Without all of you, our clients, we wouldn’t have gained the professional relationships and authentic friendships that we have today. That is something we won’t ever be able to thank you for enough. 

Thank you for making 8THIRTYFOUR who we were in 2021, we can’t wait to see what we do together in 2022. Now hold onto your pants, shit’s about to get real.

Something on Your Mind?

New Happy Hour Hustle episode out now! Kim sits down with Meredith Klein, the woman behind the iconic hat and the Substack everyone in comms actually wants to read, meredith.and.the.media. 

Kim and Meredith talk about personal branding, networking without the ick, why “believe it until you achieve it” beats “fake it till you make it,” and what it takes to really own your worth.

Meredith is a communications executive with nearly two decades of experience at some of the biggest names in the game: Walmart, Pinterest, and Jet.com, to name a few. She's the author of Meredith & The Media, a wildly popular Substack on the latest news, moves, and trends in media, featuring exclusive interviews with leading journalists on what's driving their coverage. She’s a PRWeek 40 Under 40 honoree and regular contributor to Inc. She’s the person in the room who actually knows everyone and makes sure everyone else knows each other too. Basically, if comms had a connector-in-chief, it would be her. 

Grab a martini (with extra olives) and get ready for some F-bomb filled wisdom. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and watch the whole episode on Youtube!

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.

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.
