It seems like a long time since I wrote an AHA blog post. We’re back in the office preparing for the new year. It’s been an exciting year for us here at AHA and we’re looking forward to 2011.
One of the topics of conversation that we’ve been having at our Vancouver PR agency revolves around exceptional customer, client or stakeholder service. For us, exceptional service is a priority. How we work with our clients, our AHA Crew, our suppliers and others is important and our focus on this area is reflected in the success of our…

I am thrilled to announce that Laurie Hanley has joined the AHA Creative Strategies team.
It’s always exciting when we add a new crew member to AHA. As a virtual agency, we have some of the best and brightest on board with our Vancouver PR agency.

There is a great article on Inc.com that focuses on writing a social media release. It has some great points in it and it’s worth a read.

And, on the other side, make sure you focus on the message that you want to put forward…

Each month, one of the AHA Crew receives $20 and is asked to initiate a “Random Act of Kindness.” For December, we asked our Calgary PR Coordinator, Kim Wong, to do something nice for someone in the world. Kim took the assignment to heart – she tells us about what she did below.

It’s that time again – the “Best of…” lists are starting to come out. Amy Vernon reviews the best social media marketing campaigns of the year at Imediaconnection.com.
Wondering why I am showing you marketing campaigns and not PR campaigns? The fact is, marketing and PR are both parts of a campaign these days. Social media has changed the days where the ad team would do one thing, the marketing group another and PR would just try to use what they did to generate some editorial and word of mouth.

While AHA is a Canadian communications agency, we have clients, friends and family in the U.S. On this day of American Thanksgiving – inspired by a Crenshaw Communications blog post “Things We’re Thankful For As PR Professionals” – we have created our own list of thankfuls. You should read Crenshaw’s post, it’s very good and we are thankful for many of the items on their list too.
Like the team at Crenshaw, we decided to write about some of the little things we’re grateful for, the big things like our health, family…
