It’s certainly not good news that a recent report shows Detroit has the lowest credit scores out of more than 100 US cities, but it is good news that #CKCAgency client @geshermi is teaming up with Huntington Bank to help metro Detroiters with credit scores of 600 or lower. Gesher’s Financial Education Manager Laltsha Cunningham joined WDIV’s @nickmonacelli and Fox 2’s @tvronia to discuss why credit scores are so important, and how to sign up for a free, four-week virtual program that will award participants who complete it with $750 to reduce their debt.

Wishing the best of luck to @fox2detroit’s Erica Francis (@ericaonair) whose last day at the station is Friday! Before she ditches Michigan’s snow for sunny Tampa at @wfla News Channel 8, the #CKCAgency team wanted to share a few of our favorite memories working with her. Erica’s impactful stories over the past 4+ years highlighting the important work of CKC clients Jewish Senior Life, Gesher Human Services, VOA Michigan, Furniture Bank of Metro Detroit, NJCW | MI and Walk The Line Recovery Therapy helped shine a spotlight on these outstanding nonprofits and businesses, and we are truly grateful for her professionalism, talent, and heart. Erica…we will miss you!

Publicists are professional storytellers. We find the news, the angles, the ‘stories’ that showcase the good work of our clients, and the impact and role their businesses and organizations have in the community. CKC Agency’s brand has been built on authenticity. We understand that what truly makes an authentic narrative is the way in which it touches and resonates with an audience.
We typically think that a narrative is composed of sentences and paragraphs, but sometimes the best stories don’t require a single written or spoken word. That is the narrative that Detroiters…and the world… collectively experienced on Saturday afternoon. No words were necessary when a precious daughter burst onto the field at Comerica Park and ran as fast as her feet could carry her to the pitcher’s mound where she hugged her father, Detroit @tigers @justinverlander, as if she’d never let him go. It was a moment so authentic, so real, raw, and beautiful, that the emotions felt by Justin Verlander were felt by all of us witnessing it. The story that unfolded before our eyes resonated so deeply because it was about our shared humanity. The pure moments we saw and felt should serve as a reminder that underneath all the noise, chaos, and disagreements bombarding us, pure love is what truly connects us. There’s no better story than that.
Turns out, there is crying in baseball. And today, we are grateful for that.

Love it! The @detroitnews, @msn, and @yahoo today featured a traditional desk and chair that were completely reimagined into a modern, punk pop art Marie Antoinette-themed masterpiece by Detroit artist Lisa Sheldon! Not only did former @hgtv star @hilary_farr select it as “Best in Show” in the 2nd Annual @furniturebankdetroit Furniture Flip Challenge based on its unique combination of whimsy, social commentary, over the top design, and beautiful execution, it is now graces #CKCAgency President Carolyn Krieger’s office and is her new desk, perfectly complementing Carolyn’s own creative approach on behalf of our clients! She was the high bidder, winning it in the nonprofit’s benefit auction.

Finally… a healthy alternative to falling down the rabbit hole of passively “doomscrolling” negative social media content! It’s called “bloomscrolling,” and LMFT Carrie Krawiec from #CKCAgency client Birmingham Maple Clinic joined @local4news’s @nickmonacelli this morning to discuss the mental health benefits of actively searching for and watching positive, uplifting content which can shift brain chemistry and reduce stress (not to mention having more enriching algorithms dictate your social feed). Watch at the link in our bio.

#WednesdayWisdom from #CKCAgency President Carolyn Krieger:
“I always say that there’s a gift in everything, even though it is occasionally wrapped in ugly wrapping paper. Whatever you may be going through today professionally or personally, look for the gift in the experience. You may not see it today, or next week, or even in a year. But I promise it’s there. I have seen time and again that our hardest lessons often lead to the most amazing outcomes that could not have been possible if we hadn’t moved through the storm.”
