When pressure to trim budgets mounts, our low cost communications support wherever it is needed—from brokering partnerships to securing sponsorships to ghostwriting OpEd pieces has caused nonprofits to see us as their preferred partner. We see it in the referred business and the generous testimonials. In what must surely be a statement on Hawaiian culture and the difference between the nonprofit and for profit world, one of our smaller nonprofit clients, the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association personally came by to deliver a bonus check the very day we met with them to say we had made a mistake on a collateral item.

They said, “We wish to present to you a small token of our appreciation for all that you have done with our Ola Hawai‘i curriculum. We had a vision and a somewhat unconventional look and feel for these materials. Nonetheless, your artistic expertise created that vision for us and we feel that these materials can now serve as our Ho‘a Ka Lamaku [to keep the torch burning], a reminder to all who have touched and will touch Ola Hawai‘i.

Perhaps it was fitting that that the only item we chose to submit to any creative award competition was work done on behalf of the Native Hawaiian Hospitality Association. It won a bronze at the Adrian Awards.

We are a small team—less than 10-and a few more with whom we work at arm’s length. Almost everyone started here as an intern and made themselves so indispensable they were asked to stay on. We interview for heart as much as for head. And it has paid off.
