October is small business month across Canada.

Kelowna based triathletes using social media to grow support
Social media platforms have opened up avenues of connection with audiences that simply did not exist before. Sports teams and athletes are some of the biggest voices on social networks and the real-time nature of content production keeps the fans highly informed and engaged. Savvy sports brands have been quick to identify these relationships and the sponsorship of athletes utilizing these platforms to the fullest. We took a moment to catch up with Kelowna based triathletes referred to as 'Team Wurtele' to find out more about using social media as professional athletes.

Developing Team Culture at Our 3rd Annual Retreat

As we have a team spread across British Columbia, how we develop and maintain our company culture has always been a high priority.

The tools available make this quite easy to do (Slack, uber conference, Google Apps). However the energy that flows in a room of like minded people all pushing for the same goals is a powerful force that cannot be ignored.

The organic reach of content has been on a steady decline into complete obscurity and the need to strategically boost and promote content has become the norm.
