Vancouver, B.C. (September 7, 2012): Hyphen Communications and LIFT Impact Partners have partnered to help not-for-profit organizations be sustainable and more effective in delivering social impact in Canada. Together, they will help not-for-profit organizations improve the health and productivity of Canadians and their communities.
“Many organizations talk about transformative change, but Bruce Dewar and the LIFT team live it every day”, says David Martin, president, Hyphen Communications. “We’re proud to help LIFT and their partners tell their stories, in words, pictures and film.”
Hyphen is joining LIFT’s partner network of businesses and professionals that offer pro bono services to not-for-profit organizations to build capacity and improve operations. As part of this partnership, Hyphen will provide a range of expertise, including video production, branding, design, copywriting, and other services.
