We travel where our clients need us. That’s what we did last month, heading to Nashville with our friends at Empire Solutions for Aluminum USA

Empire Solutions needed to be seen at the biggest aluminum industry conference of the year. Face time with current and potential clients, brand visibility, and lead generation don’t happen behind a computer screen. Sometimes you have to get on a plane and make it happen.

Strategy Matters

Empire Solutions came to us with challenges like no social media presence and limited brand recognition in a crowded industry. They needed to stand out at Aluminum USA, where every booth would be fighting for the same attention.

We built a strategy around their strengths—deep technical expertise and genuine relationships. The goal wasn’t just to look good at the show. It was to start conversations that turn into business.

So Does Design

Good design does more than make things pretty. It stops people in their tracks and makes them want to know more. 

We designed booth graphics that told Empire Solutions’ story clearly: who they are, what they solve, and why it matters. Clean, professional, impossible to ignore.

Why We Show Up

We know the importance of showing up in person. It’s why when a client asks us to come to Nashville with them, we get on a plane. We’re there to help, whether it’s setting up, bringing in potential customers and partners to their booth, or documenting the whole thing on social for them.

The results speak for themselves: 

Show Leads
0
Engagement Rate on LinkedIn
0 %

That’s the point of integrated communications. Everything works together, including the people behind it. When our clients need us in Nashville or anywhere else, we go. Their success is our success.

Something on Your Mind?

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.
"Out of failure comes growth – you have to see it as an opportunity." 

bodespeaks joined cuzzinjustin on the strictlyfromnowhere Podcast for an honest conversation about entrepreneurship, embracing your superpowers, and building a personal brand that's actually yours, the wins, the setbacks, and everything in between. And naturally, dropped an f-bomb or two along the way. You don't want to miss it.

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.

"If you don't get up and grind every day, the needle isn't gonna move."

We sat down with brandonmccraney, founder and Master Blender behind olderaleighdistillery in Zebulon, North Carolina. Brandon spent fifteen years just thinking about whiskey before he finally opened his doors, and even then it took four more years, a dozen rejections, construction delays, and a global pandemic to get there. Two years later, Olde Raleigh had already won Best Micro Distillery in the US.

Check out the latest episode of Happy Hour Hustle, where Brandon shares what it actually took to grow a business through COVID, the military discipline that kept him going when everything else said quit, and how working with people turned out to be the hardest part of the job.
