This Month in Media (September)

It’s fall y’all, which has nothing to do with this blog but we’re just so excited. We broke out the fall decor and pumpkin-vanilla scented candles this weekend and we can’t wait to traipse through a corn maze. 

To celebrate fall, we’re taking a look back at some recent client media, from yours truly. 

Farmgirl Flea

If you weren’t at the Farmgirl Flea Fall Market this past weekend, you really missed out. The organizers put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into the Friday and Saturday market at Hudsonville Fairgrounds. We were given the task to share all the awesomeness, and we crushed the earned media game. Plus, the Farmgirl Flea team was always down for an interview (they’re literally the best), so you can get plenty of glimpses into the fall market. 

With a collective potential monthly reach of 2,074,477, it’s safe to say this was a success. Mark your calendar for their holiday market on November 25 – 26, 2022, at Countryside Greenhouses in Allendale. 

NAMC

We still kick ourselves for being able to represent the warfighter (by proxy) through our client, National Defense Mobility Consortium (NAMC). They recently hired some pretty smart dudes and   Corp! Magazine reported on their expertise, journey to NAMC, and the organization’s key focus areas. 

Michigan Business Network also chatted with executive director, Alissa Roath on the Michigan defense industry and the role NAMC plays. 

Both pieces had an 11,064 potential monthly reach.

LifeCircles

We can always rely on our lovely client, LifeCircles, to have important community conversations. Their work with Crisis Intervention Training is changing the way first responders handle mental health calls. Articles and interviews in MLive, WGVU, and Michigan Business Network have a 4,333,833 potential monthly reach.

Stormy Kromer

What’s a Month in Media blog series without Stormy Kromer? As per usual, the pitches are hitting and gift guides are crawling with Kromer Caps. Stormy Kromer made it in the following gift guides:

Aside from gift guides, our U.P. friends are gearing up for Plaidurday on October 7th. Check out Michigan Business Network and Corp! Magazine for all the plaid celebration fun! With a combined potential monthly reach of 10,906, we’re expecting a lot of plaid.

Oh, and Gina Thorsen had a fantastic interview for CEOs You Should Know. She’s amazing — we know.

1 Bold Step

Our friends at 1 Bold Step are doing amazing things, so it’s up to us to shout it from the rooftops. Adam Clarke, President, and Jennifer Jurgens, CEO/Founding Partner sat down with Michigan Business Network and spilled all the deets on their new office and how the City of Grand Rapids, SBAM and the SBA supported them.

8THIRTYFOUR

Sometimes, you have to let yourself brag about the things you’re doing (or the team will force you… either way). Kim shared her 16 years worth of small business and PR advice in Authority Magazine’s PR Pros series. With a potential monthly reach of over 74 million people, we hope Kim’s badass advice makes its way to all of them.

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.
