This Month in Media

Another month, more earned media. Want the scoop on what we’ve secured? You don’t have to ask us twice.

Meals on Wheels Western Michigan

October was a busy month for our wonderful client Meals on Wheels Western Michigan. They held their annual Chef’s Specialty event to raise funds to support their mission to provide quality nutrition services in a supportive environment to promote the health and independence of older adults.

Chef’s Specialty was a chance for guests to enjoy dinner and networking while celebrating local community leader Dr. Khan Nedd. Did we mention 15 local chefs shared their drool-worthy recipes to compete for first place? Grand Rapids Magazine, WoodTV8, FOX17, and WGVU helped us to reach a collective monthly reach of 604,121.

Stormy Kromer

What’s a Month in Media without Stormy Kromer? For starters, they celebrated Plaidurday (the holiday for commemorating all and everything plaid) in Ironwood and brought their community together. WDIO, TV6, and UP Matters covered this special celebration for a potential monthly reach of 386,799.

We were also honored to share the news of Bob Jacquart’s MFG Lifetime Achievement Award from the Michigan Manufacturers Association. Michigan Business Network, TV6, and Second Wave Media covered this exciting accomplishment for a potential monthly reach of 258,544, but we’re also here to say it — Congratulations, Bob!

Of course, we’re keeping those gift guides coming! This month, we’ve seen inclusion in The Out Bound, MomSkoop, Allen Outside, Gear Junkie, Pet Lifestyles Magazine, and Gothamology.

Last thing —we promise. CEO Gina Thorsen is the ultimate badass, and her interview with Authority Magazine on “Five Things You Need To Be A Highly Effective Leader During Turbulent Times” was everything. Seriously. Read it. 

Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors

The Phoneix Society for Burn Survivors is the client that continuously serves their community, and they’ve got exciting updates! Their annual World Burn Congress is getting a refresh, and their CEO, Amy Acton, sat down with WGVU and Michigan Business Network to give them the scoop. The combined UVM was 16,793.

Inforum

We were absolutely blown away at the Inforum Capston event featuring Michelle Li, award-winning journalist and and co-founder of the Very Asian Foundation.

Inforum accelerates careers for women and is a catalyst that removes barriers and increases opportunity. See what’s possible. Get there faster.

Michelle Li was the keynote speaker and she shared her story (along with info on Inforum’s event) with Michigan publications:

The potential monthly reach was 1,569,848, but that wasn’t even the best part. Michelle Li is an incredible activist, leader, and human. Period. We were lucky enough to assist her in sharing her story.
Impressed? We know. You don’t have to tell us, but we sure would love to hear from 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.
