“PR is going to drive my company’s sales.” “All company news is relevant and warrants a press release.” “PR is not time consuming.” Hahahahahahahaha! We can’t stop laughing. You really had us there. That’s a real knee slapper. Let’s break down these common misconceptions so they hopefully stop being so common. First off, if you […]
Internet stalking is kind of our jam. Our team is, like, super good at it. Don’t worry, we use our powers for good, not evil. By the way, this blog is satire, like our previous Quarantine Diaries content. Recently, we were informed one of our employees has embarked on a new romantic venture with another […]
As an office made up primarily of women, we can attest to the fact that we are inundated with stereotypes about women and their roles in society from a very young age. Many of these stereotypes were negative, limiting and incredibly degrading. This plays into how women are treated at work, home and in the […]
One of 8THIRTYFOUR’s strongest assets is our vast network of clients, partners, community leaders, friends, family…the list goes on. We know this will be our saving grace in the coming months as we adjust to our new norm and we grieve what our community has lost. It’s easy to focus on the negative right now […]
We can’t stress this enough: a crisis is about trust. We have had to pivot a lot in the past few weeks in how we bill, how we communicate, the hours we work, where we work, what we wear…you get the idea. The most important decision we made is to continue our commitment to our […]
We love doing color palette blogs, and you guys eat âem up like candy. As far as weâre concerned, itâs a win-win. Anyway, we know youâre not really reading this part. Youâre going to skim this intro and then go scroll down to see all the pretty colors, right? So letâs not drag our feet […]
A few weeks ago, we posted a blog about the evil necessity of deadlines. We’re not sure which people hate more: process or deadlines. We love them both, we couldn’t function without our processes and deadlines. Traditionally speaking, marketing agencies might be at the top of the list of businesses that don’t have formal or […]
Networking and making conversation with people can be downright scary. Maybe you’ve previously never had to hustle, you’re a new grad, you’re in a new career or you are forcing your introverted side to be extroverted. We get it. Talking to people you don’t know can be awkward. That’s exactly why we encourage you to […]
If you opened your personal email right now, we bet you’d immediately be face-to-face with about a hundred newsletters. How many emails do you have from Starbucks? Target? DSW? Better yet, how many of those things have you actually opened? Probably, like, memo-rably few, right? Inboxes can get so crowded with newsletters that some clients […]
Here at 8THIRTYFOUR, we LOVE what we do. We truly enjoy our work, and we enjoy the people we work with. We don’t work with assholes, and we don’t take on projects or clients we don’t believe in. Unfortunately, that’s not true for everyone. We’ve had plenty of meetings with companies that want to invest […]
