Eat Magazine says:

“Victoria is one of B.C.s tourism crown jewels, says Sherry Baumgardner, Director of Marketing for Coast Hotels & Resorts. With the growing influence of social media, we felt the time was right to showcase Victoria by inviting members of the online community to experience the many things to see and do in this beautiful city.

Partnering with Coast Hotels & Resorts on this unique press trip was a natural thing to do,” said Janet Carson, Vice President, Marketing & Travel Services for B.C. Ferries. “In this modern digital era, embracing social media is vital as its clearly making a significant impact on the awareness of travel products globally and it strongly supports our traditional media efforts.”

AHA MEDIA will be doing mobile media to  produce experience rich content that will help tell compelling stories about the traditional culture, sights and sounds of Old Victoria in transforming to “New Victoria for New Media”

AH A MEDIA is very excited to provide New and Social Media Animation to our beautiful B.C.’s Capital City  of Victoria through the active use of social marketing tools of  Twitter, Flickr, Youtube online!
