There are a lot of smiles here at Social Signal’s sprawling corporate headquarters. Two of our clients, BC Hydro and the happyfrog.ca Vancouver sustainability hub, just tied for second place in the Georgia Straight’s annual “Best of Vancouver” awards.
The first-place finisher, DavidSuzuki.org, gives us a grin, too. Not just because the good doctor has been such an inspiration to us over the years, but because whenever we brainstorm a sustainability social media project with a client, there’s invariably a moment where someone says, “Hey… what if we could get David Suzuki to blog on it?”
(Their award category, local web sites for green living, is near and dear to our hearts: “local”, because we believe in the primacy of place, “green”, because we believe in the imperative of sustainability, “web”, because we believe in the power of social media, and “for”, because it’s such a handy preposition.)
It’s great to know that these projects have made a difference for so many people. And it’s a tribute to both BC Hydro and the crew at happyfrog, who’ve worked so hard to make their projects a success. Congratulations, everyone.
