Our new office was full of automotive leaders for our first-ever event, and we couldn't be prouder! 🤝 Our team hosted "Conversation & Connection" with Autotown with Jamie Butters and Butters Bureau LLC ahead of The Automotive Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, bringing voices from across the industry together under one roof.

Moderated by Autotown founder Jamie Butters, the live panel explored the biggest challenges facing the auto industry and the role communication and collaboration play in moving it forward. A huge shoutout to our panelists, John Murphy, James Davies, Brent Snavely and Mary Arraf, for sharing their insights!

A special thank you to our sponsors, Guaranteed Outcomes, AUMOVIO and Toyota North America, and to everyone who joined us!

Representation in reporting shapes whose stories get told. Journalists who reach new voices help build a more complete picture of our communities.

There's a special kind of comfort only a wagging tail or a soft purr can bring. 🐾 When clients Hospice of Michigan and Arbor Hospice needed more pet volunteers across southeast Michigan, our team jumped in to help get the word out. Integrated Communications Coordinator Nina Scarpelli landed print and TV coverage with MLive Media Group, The Sun Times News, WDIV Local 4 / ClickOnDetroit and WXYZ-TV Channel 7, connecting animal lovers with the chance to bring comfort to hospice patients. The payoff: 116 pet volunteer applications! 🐶🐱

We're proud to help spotlight the people – and pets – making a real difference in the community.

Big appreciation for VP of Mobility Dan Horn today on his Francoversary! Dan knows where he shines and gives others room to do the same. It’s a mindset that has carried him from intern to a VP, and it still shapes the way he leads today.

Add in a podcast mic, some good music and his cats making an appearance, and you’ve got a pretty accurate Dan snapshot. Swipe to learn more and help us celebrate! 🎙️
