Blue Elephant is a digital and social media marketing agency, delivering creative, distinctive project management skills to a wide range of clients. We specialize in new or small businesses just getting into the digital world, arts groups, and non-profits. Our favourite thing to do is to help you build and execute successful social media and digital marketing campaigns. We love mapping out strategy and developing content plans - without making it too overwhelming for you. We can help you get started with content, or we can manage your account for you until you're ready to step in. Building websites is a lot of fun, too. We find you the best platform that suits your business needs AND your level of comfort with technology. Our goal is to build you a site that you can then confidently manage on your own. We're around to help, though, if you need us. (In our past lives, we also have a ton of experience producing events from fundraisers to meetings to galas to awards shows.) We work with your existing teams or provide new ones to execute marketing and communication initiatives to help you deliver top notch brand experiences. Connect with us and let's create something memorable! Show less
