The world is a hectic place nowadays, isn’t it? It’s hard to focus on just about anything, especially anything remotely important. It seems like no matter where you are, you’re getting bombarded with useless information and cute animal videos (Seriously. If we see one more mildly-inspirational quote paired with a Minion, we’re going to lose […]
International Women’s Day is March 8th, and our team loves any excuse to celebrate the many contributions and successes of women. In the past we have highlighted local leading ladies and legendary women of history, but today we are putting a spotlight on badass fictional female characters who inspire us and make us want to […]
The month of April typically brings about a lot of different changes, like warmer weather, new flower buds, and now, apparently, the death of the Google Plus platform. That’s right, for those of you who still use Google+, your +1ing days are officially numbered. Still, even for people who don’t use the platform, the fact […]
When the snow really starts to fall in Michigan it seems as though the entire state goes into hibernation. Why? Because there are few things better than cozying up and doing absolutely nothing.

When winter hits Michigan, it hits hard. The last few weeks have seen some of the crazy winter weather that our Mitten State is known for. With all that blustering snow, it’s easy to forget that there are plenty of fun winter activities in Grand Rapids. So grab your coat and put on some gloves, […]

As you may know, we love to celebrate national “holidays,” even the most absurd ones. January 4th is National Trivia Day, which is a holiday #Team834 can get behind. When we aren’t crushing it at our desks, we like to take fun trivia breaks that make for an interesting, and usually hilarious, team bonding experience. […]
Happy 2019! It’s hard to believe that it has already been a year since most of us lied to ourselves and said we would become a better, healthier, more productive person in 2018. For those who set lofty goals, and ultimately didn’t hit the gym seven times a week, read 200 books, or save enough […]
2018 is almost over! That means it’s time to take a look back on the great and terrible marketing campaigns we saw this year. During the past few months, the industry gave us the good, the bad, and the very, very ugly when it came to tactics, campaigns, messaging and more. Take a look at […]
