Several people high-fiving ontop of the words all I do is win win win in 8THIRTYFOUR's branded design

Delivering Impactful Results Across Industries

At 8THIRTYFOUR, we pride ourselves on understanding our clients’ unique needs and delivering tailored solutions. Here’s how we’ve helped some of our amazing clients achieve their goals.

Gateway Pediatric Therapy: Showcasing the Impact of ABA

Gateway Pediatric Therapy is a leader in providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to children with autism spectrum disorders. They needed a recruitment video that would attract top talent to their growing team.

Our approach:

  • Conducted in-depth interviews with Gateway’s leadership and staff
  • Spent a full day on-site, capturing authentic interactions between therapists and clients
  • Crafted a narrative that highlighted the rewarding nature of working at Gateway

 

The resulting video provided an honest, heartfelt look at Gateway’s mission and the positive impact their therapists make daily. It showcased the supportive work environment and the opportunities for professional growth, helping Gateway attract passionate professionals to their team.

LifeCircles: Empowering Seniors in Community Events

LifeCircles PACE (Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly) is dedicated to helping seniors maintain their independence and quality of life. They wanted to increase their visibility and community involvement at local events.

Our strategy:

  • Designed custom t-shirts and banners for the Tulip Time Festival and PRIDE events in Holland and Muskegon
  • Ensured their clients felt included and empowered during the events

 

This initiative allowed LifeCircles to showcase its commitment to senior well-being and community integration. It gave their clients a sense of belonging and pride while raising awareness about LifeCircles’ valuable services among event attendees.

DTE Home Protection Plus: Educating Baseball Fans

DTE Home Protection Plus offers Michigan homeowners protection from unexpected repair costs on major home systems and appliances. They wanted to show up for the West Michigan community and increase awareness of their services at Whitecaps baseball games.

Our game plan:

  • Recruited and trained local college students for outreach (yes we paid them, we’re not a**holes)
  • Designed an informative booth about DTE HPP’s services
  • Developed a strategy for engaging with game attendees

 

Our team greeted people throughout the stadium, having friendly conversations with fans about home protection. We focused on educating attendees about:

  • The difference between DTE HPP and other services
  • The range of systems and appliances covered
  • The convenience of their 24/7 repair hotline
  • Potential cost savings for Michigan homeowners

 

This approach allowed DTE Home Protection Plus to connect with its target audience in a relaxed setting, building brand awareness and trust.

Women Impacting Public Policy: Empowering Women Entrepreneurs in Detroit

Women Impacting Public Policy (WIPP) is a national organization advocating for women entrepreneurs. Their ChallengeHER event in Detroit aimed to boost government contracting opportunities for women-owned small businesses.

Our role:

  • Managed all aspects of event planning and execution
  • Coordinated with local vendors and venues
  • Ensured smooth running of workshops and networking sessions
  • Showcased Detroit’s vibrant community to attendees

 

The event provided valuable information about the Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Federal Contracting Program and connected attendees with government buyers. By bringing this event to Detroit, WIPP highlighted the city’s entrepreneurial spirit and provided local women business owners with crucial resources and connections.

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.
