Frank's New Year's Resolution? More post-walk couch naps. That's on #selfcare.
What's your (actually achievable) New Year goal or resolution? #2025

In the ever-evolving landscape of job hunting, you’d think candidates would have mastered the art of interviewing by now. Yet here we are in 2025, and we still witness the same mistakes that made us cringe over a decade ago. Our latest blog post talks about how to stand out in your next interview – and not colossally screw it up.

Per usual - link is in the bio.

It's a love hate relationship.

Peace out 2024. You've been a PIA but we still crushed it.

This holiday season, follow these travel tips from @bode834

🛅 The airport is basically a highway. You wouldn’t stop your car in the middle of I-96, so why the hell are you stopping dead center in the terminal to check your Instagram? Slow walkers, move to the right. It’s not rocket science, people.

🛂 Let’s talk about phone etiquette. Nobody – and I mean NOBODY – needs to hear your Q4 projections while we’re all trying to enjoy our overpriced airport salads. You’re not that important. I don’t care if you’re the CEO of Whatever Corp., use your inside voice or better yet, save it for later.

🛄 Gate lice. You’re so bad; they gave you a name. You are not getting on the flight any quicker by lining up and blocking the entire airport walkway. I now elbow and hit you with my bag when I fight my way through. You suck.

Goodbye til the New Year.

We pitched @copperpeak and @ironwoodmichigan to make the @todayshow Top Autumn Destination list. Read up in our bio and comment below on our PR awesomeness.

From pre-dental to design. Our designer Hannah discusses her unconventional career path on our Happy Hour Hustle podcast.

Let's make this happen.

Just a glimpse into our recent shopping trip with @scholten4congress. We hit up @basicbeeboutique, @sablecandleco, @dimeandregal, @newdesignfloral and ended our afternoon at @_winchestergr.

If you're not shopping local, you're doing it wrong.

Lights on Creston is in full swing. We’re your hot cocoa headquarters for this evening. Come warm up and say hello — we’ll be here until 8pm! ❤️💚🎄✨ @crestongr #lightsoncreston #grandrapids #8thirtyfour

Getting in the holiday spirit at the @crestongr Tree Lighting 🎄⭐️

We’re out here serving up hot chocolate with all the fixings. The tree is lit and shining bright. Come on out and join us.

On Thursday December 12th you can come out again for Lights on Creston from 4-8pm! ❄️

#grandrapids #crestongr #8thirtyfour @newcitychurchgr

Will we be singing? No. Will we be serving up hot chocolate with all the accroutements? Yes. Are we fun? Yes. Do we have 14 trees lit up in our office? Also, yes.

Join us and @crestongr @newcitychurchgr @northquartergr and @bestincreston as at 6:00 p.m. as we light up the 50 foot tree across the street from our office. 🎄

We get some real rockstars that grace our team. From @gv_prssa to an internship at 8THIRTYFOUR and now her "formal" career at @fischtankpr, our former intern @amberlydzimira shares her life lessons, with the most important one being Lesson Two.

Link in bio to learn all the things that make her a PR rockstar.

Public relations is supporting our clients in executing events like ChallengeHER in Fort Lauderdale. From managing AV, stuffing bags, assembling name badges to last minute updates to speakers, the 8THIRTYFOUR team does it all.

@bode834 even got to speak on "Big Deal Energy," and owning your influence. All in all, a pretty successful event for WIPP, @americanexpress, @sbagov and attendees.

It's a very special person's birthday. Ro has been with 8THIRTYFOUR for six+ years and is our resident expert in literally everything. Thanks for answering our never-ending questions and for always being willing to jump in and help. We'd be lost without you.

This Small Business Saturday, we’re hitting the streets of Grand Rapids with @scholten4congress to spotlight some awesome women-owned businesses. Look for @bode834, @sstellier and @lisayounggr as they shop local with @newdesignfloral, @basicbeeboutique, @dimeandregal and @sablecandleco. We'll be out shopping between 1:00 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.

This Thanksgiving, remember that setting boundaries isn't just self-care—it's a revolution in stretchy pants.

We've built our entire agency on choosing our people—the ones who fight for what's right, match their activism with actual action, and, yes, who understand that how you vote reflects your values. We're not sorry about it.

Shoutout to everyone who chose their table carefully this year.

Happy Thanksgiving.
