Lansing, MI Small Biz Hype Team Celebrate Auction
OMG! You actually scanned the QR Code, otherwise you’d have never found this little Easter Egg on my website! Welcome!
You might recognize one of the Hype Team members from last year, the captain of the team, Jacki Krumnow. That’s me! Children Trust Michigan came back and asked me to host a team once more after 2024, even after I left the original sponsored business, High Caliber Karting & Entertainment.
How cool is that? We’ll I’m glad that our break the mold marketing ad caught your attention and you decided to learn more about this little rag tag group of misfits leading Lansing. Not that we’re really misfits, but we are a bunch of small business owners who have struck out on our own to try and make Lansing and the state of Michigan a brighter place with our work. Learn about each one of us below!
Thanks again for scanning.

Jacki Krumnow
CAPTAIN - Now Marketing
The Head Honcho of the Hype Team, Krumnow’s title is pretty self explanatory. She gathered this crew together, planned the “little” gifts, figured out everyone’s costumes. All that Jazz. And she made the ad you scanned, along with this website to try and make sure her “crew” got as much details out there about themselves as possible. ✨

Colton Hughes
FIRST MATE & SAWBONES - Element Massage
Second in command, first to reply YES, and provided additional crew members, Hughes is also an excellent sawbone, aka surgeon. Because his business is Massage! The Owner and Operator of Element Massage, his team will be sure to handle wounds, scurvy, and other nasty stuff. (Not really open wounds or scurvy, these titles are just fun little allegories for what they do IRL.) ✋

SIREN WHISPER - New Perspective Business Solutions
Handles magical/mythical interactions and more as between crew mates during working hours. Which be long and arduous, but doesn’t have to be! She’s a Fractional Manager who helps with HR Recruitment, payroll, benefits, and operations. She’s so so good at her job, she could even handle the most mystical of beings — in this case I think that might be a Kraken. If you have a Kraken of a problem in your office, call Sam, she’ll give you a new perspective. 🧜♀️

Brianna Garrett
QUARTERMASTER - Bubbles R Fun
In the most basic of definition’s a quartermaster makes sure the crew stays happy! Technically they manage loot distribution, food, and supplies. But that’s all important to the demeanor of the crews well-being and Bri (aka Bubble Bri) is an entertainer… with Bubbles! There’s a lot you can hire Bri to do with her magical bubble routines, but entertainment for a party, events, & festivals are some of her bread and butter. 🫧

BOATSWAIN - K2 Tech Solutions
Don’t know what a BOATSWAIN is? That’s okay, we thought it paralleled well with IT, which a lot of us also don’t know much about. A Boatswain (Bosun) oversees the maintenance of the ship and crew readiness. A lot like an IT department does for modern day businesses! Now that you know what a boatswain is, you’ll know that you probably need a better IT guy/department. Someone who actually answers phone calls and emails in real time and don’t keep you waiting 42 hours for a solution. K2 Tech Solutions is just the business you need. 💻
