The Grand Rapids Pride Festival takes place annually in downtown Grand Rapids and features music, performances, activities, and delicious food in celebration of our LGBTQ community. This year’s festival is especially exciting because it is the 30th anniversary – and we were thrilled to help bring the festival’s design to life! Here is a peak […]
We don’t like to pick favorites, but if we had to, we would probably say that one of our favorite branding projects from last year was our work with Egypt Valley Country Club. You can’t quite put to a “tee” how much the organization appreciates their members (no putt intended). Aside from a love of […]
At 8THIRTYFOUR, we understand that it takes client engagement to build and cultivate relationships. Even if we aren’t currently providing work for a company, we aim to build meaningful relationships with them. This means thoughtfully connecting with past, current, and future clients. Meaningful relationships don’t happen overnight, but they do happen through active and sincere […]
Halloween just passed and in true 8THIRTYFOUR style, the day was marked with lots of treats…and a few tricks – we like to keep things interesting. We love holidays – they are a great opportunity to connect with clients, friends, and family in ways that are fun and unique. For Halloween, we spent some time […]
With only 24 hours in a day, it’s hard to check off all of your to-do’s. Agency life is known for working around the clock in order to get shit done. Whether you’re attending an event until 8 p.m., or responding to a clients’ frantic email at 3 a.m., there is always something you could be […]

But after planning countless events ourselves, it’s safe to say that we know a thing (or two) about executing a fabulous event. In fact, our team recently had the […]
Over the past year, we’ve worked with multiple clients who have appeared on ABC’s Shark Tank. Shefit is our OG Shark Tank client, the one who opened up the world of Shark Tank through watch parties, covering episodes live on social media and the infamous “Shark Tank effect.” We’ve been on quite a ride with […]
We love being a part of the Grand Rapids community. You probably already know this because you see us EVERYWHERE. Our specialty is to divide and conquer, with each team member taking on a different community event during the week. The past week saw a lot of great events, from fundraising to networking and professional […]
Saying thanks is a big part of our culture at 834, we want our clients to understand how important they are to us and it helps put things in perspective for all of us. We are so thankful, in fact, that we created Gratitude Tuesday where we write 2 to 3 notes of thanks or […]
