Well that’s it. We did it!! 24 long hours, 48 posts, and countless cups of coffee later we have completed the 1st Annual Vancouver Blogathon for Charity. I am thrilled that we participated and that we were able to do so much for such a good cause in such a short period of time. It is definitely worth the lack of sleep that I’m feeling at the moment.

Invoke has always been a place for people, both staff and clients, who are of the mind that doing good leads to doing well. In fact the company was founded on this principal. In order to take this to the next level and advance thought, ideals, values, and mindset to the point of ensuring action is taken on an ongoing basis, Invoke is setting up a Green Team.

I love my job, I really do. In fact, I think I’m one of the alleged 47% of people in Canada (according to Maclean’s Magazine) who actually enjoy going to work every day; and no, I’m not self-employed. I commute by bike or bus, 40 minutes to an hour every day to an office where I am challenged and allowed to be creative on a regular basis. Most importantly though, I love the people I work with. Frankly, there must at least be a modicum of love there for me to whip up a batch of Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies in order to pacify a certain colleague’s current bacon obsession!

Given that this blogathon is in the spirit of charity I would like to take a minute to profile some of the other work we’ve done. We absolutely love making these kinds of contributions and are extremely proud of what we’ve been able to do. Here are some details on who we work with and what we’ve done with them:
