Our Top Case Studies from 2021

We did like a lot, a lot this past year. We told you all about it in our Top 5 Agency Wins and Top 5 PR Wins, but we didn’t even cover the half of it. Lucky for us, you’re here reading this fabulous, not “meta” at all blog, about our favorite case studies from 2021 so we can fill you in on even more of our amazingness.  We won’t be letting up in the new year, but sometimes it’s nice to remember all the kick-ass work we accomplished, especially as we head into strategy, planning, and execution in 2022. 

So without further ado… 

Alpine Events Website

This was one of our favorite website projects. Before we got to design and development we did a lot of strategy and branding work to really knock the site out of the park. We’re also shaking our heads that this was just launched in the past year. Where does the time go?

Mana Pacific Branding 

When Mana Pacific asked us to develop a sleek new logo, we were super excited. The Mana Pacific team rocks and they’re actively finding ways to sustainably empower communities in the Pacific Islands. We had to create a logo that reflected this work, while still embracing the spirit and color palettes of the island communities they work with.

Mana Pacific Website

Once Mana Pacific had a badass brand, the next step was a new website to match. We focused on featuring the communities and land of the Pacific Islands, both in the photos and colors. Seeing is believing, so go check it out for yourself!

Lavender Life, Public Relations Program

We hate to keep tooting our own horn (but do we?) but our project with Lavender Life tells the story for itself. 

The client wanted to amplify their brand and that’s what we did. We strategically curated storylines to touch on topics for upcoming holiday gift guides, seasonal lists and testimonial pieces. This was all to get the product in the right hands. Maybe…the hands of someone like…Drew Barrymore herself? 

Drew ended up loving it and featured it in her Drew’s Doggy Bag segment where she gifted the Comfort Duo to her entire virtual audience. This broadcast to over 15 million viewers and the 150% spike in their sales wasn’t too shabby either. Public Relations works if you trust us and aren’t looking for band-aids. It’s called strategy and patience, my friends. 

Seriously though, how cute is she?

Something on Your Mind?

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energy™. 

You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. 

The Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. 

If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. 

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. 

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
