#ClientNews Excited to share that VVK PR + Creative had the privilege of supporting Detroit Future City in launching their latest report, "Making the Middle Class: Leveraging Detroit’s Neighborhoods to Build a Middle-Class City." This comprehensive report examines crucial factors such as population change, income and education, housing, and neighborhood quality to argue that a growing middle class is essential for Detroit's sustainable future. The report expands on DFC’s 2019 publication, "Growing Detroit’s African American Middle Class," which garnered both local and national attention by highlighting the importance of expanding the African American middle class to foster a more equitable and prosperous city. Detroit Future City's report highlights the need for private investment and coordinated efforts among local, state, and federal entities to align programs, investments, and policies towards building a resilient, thriving Detroit. Check out the video we created for this launch and learn more about how we can collaborate to build a stronger Detroit together. #DetroitFutureCity #MiddleClassDetroit #UrbanDevelopment #CommunityGrowth #SustainableCities

On this episode of the SBAM Weekly Podcast, our CEO, Peter Van Dyke, had the pleasure of chatting with Michael Rogers about the power of social media strategy for startups and small businesses. "For any startup or small company developing a social media strategy, it's essential to think about your business timeline over a year or a month. Share key elements of your business that can attract customers or clients. It's probably the best, most accessible way to start building your business and establishing a platform. And then, when you get successful enough, you hire firms like ours to bring other ideas to the table." Thank you, Small Business Association of Michigan, for featuring Peter and allowing us to share some of our story and perspectives. #Podcast #SocialMediaStrategy #SmallBusiness #Startup #PRSA #BusinessGrowth #PRSA Listen to the episode: https://lnkd.in/e89i34_R
