HELLO COOL WORLD heads to the STRONG Conference today!
Our media team of Bella, David, and will be on site all week, doing interviews, documenting the conference sessions, live blogging and tweeting. We'll have Mike Jacko as our intern from the VACPCS and Photographer Nancy Bleck will be joining us on Wednesday.
In addition to making a short film about the First Nations Technology Council and their annual STRONG conference - we're making connections work with some of our other projects like Circles of Understanding Project and the book 'Picturing Transformation, Nexw-áyantsut’ that Kat is co-authoring with Chief Bill Williams and Nancy Bleck.
We've also been doing a lot of work around First Nations Health. Check out some of what we've done on our HelloCoolWorldMedia.com site!
Watch this blog for live updates as the conference gets underway!
Katherine Dodds AKA "Kat" is the founder of Good Company Communications and HelloCoolWorld.com. Trained in renegade advertising & branding through her work with Adbusters in the '90s, Kat's early induction into the possibilities of the web-world was inspired by the term hypertext, which she immediately found comforting. She is dedicated to cause-related communication and to the development and use of tools that promote democratic processes.

KENSINGTON & HELLO COOL WORLD - STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN HYBRID DISTRIBUTION
I recently had the privilege of meeting with the talented folks over at Kensington Communications that created RAW OPIUM: PAIN PLEASURE PROFITS, one of the documentary projects Hello Cool World has been involved with over the past year.
I was eager to sit down with producer Robert Lang and Kensington’s social media lead Amanda Connon-Unda to get a full update.
Kensington first approached Hello Cool World (HCW) last fall looking for strategy advice on self-distributing their film. In May, we worked with Kensington to host the world premiere of RAW OPIUM at DOXA and to strategize grassroots outreach across North America.

Colette joined Hello Cool World team back in 2003 and was a key organizer for The Corporation and The Take's grassroots outreach efforts across North America. After being inspired by the organizing and awareness building potential of the internet and social issue films, she returned to school to study Communications and sharpen her skills. Once graduating, Colette returned to Hello Cool World once again as a grassroots campaign consultant. She is now the Director of Distribution for Hello Cool World's new fair trade distribution arm.

We did it! We managed to survive our FIRST decade as a company that only takes on work we love and causes we believe in!

We've been most famous for our work on The Corporation, but on our V-Day B-day as we are flirtingly calling it, we are highlighing a decade of sex work -- sexual health education that is -- but sexy!

It hasn't been ALL rosé champagne* and freshly harvested oysters here on Salt Spring... just a healthy dose! While Lizzy continued our Olympics coverage back on the mainland, David, Sandy and I 'retreated" to this nearby island paradise to spend a few days considering our 'vision', and in particular new opportunities arising from the recent upsurge in interest in The Corporation around corporate personhood. We also talked about the upcoming LACE Campaign, and how to use our previous successes to launch this campaign.
