our capabilities



The Aha Agency aims to give you that rnlightenment feeling.  As such we have pulled together a product set that solidifies your online presence. 

Google Apps provides the infrastructure to have a fully integrated and self manageable web presence, which is backed up by a roadmap in the form of a website strategy and then taking it one step further the social media aspect gets that two way conversation happening.

Any self respecting Business Manager would also manage their online reputation via LinkedIn.  To enable efficient utilisation of this medium some tools / tips & tricks need to be applied that will boost your online reputation.  Hence that's why I offer a linkedin Enlightenment workshop that covers areas from Scene setting "what is this LinkedIn thing!" to effective Profile creation / networking approaches and ways to boost your online credibility by participating & data mining the wealth of information in this repository.

 

We aim to integrate form with function. Our strength lays in implementing capabilities that will work for your organisation. Constant monitoring & refining is the key...



Strategic Consulting

Website: 

An online presence is critical in this connected world of ours. A Business' core aim is to make profits and therefore any arm of the organisation that fails to deliver can cause a degradation in profitability.

We aim to assess your organisations key capabilities and offer online solutions to maximise the return on investment. 

We believe that a Website is more than a set of static pages it needs to be constantly monitored to ensure it's running at peak performance and tuned accordingly.  Let us get on board with your organisation and lead you along this great path of enlightenment and give you that Aha! experience.      

Social Media:

If you are in business, it is imperative to lead social media engagement rather than “let it happen” to your business. There's a lot of talk on the internet about this new medium which promotes a two way interaction between Businesses and their clientele

Conversations about your company are already happening online, so it's best if you actively participate in a structured way.  But new channels have new risks. Social media is a very big place. So it's your responsibility to at least set business level strategy.

"No one controls social media. You cannot either. Shouting your same old advertising and brand messages on social media is not a good strategy. Social media is a genuine, transparent dialogue between you, your consumers, and between consumers themselves. You may not have control of social media but you do have control of your team. By setting clear strategies for your business and your team, you set the ground rules. That will give you influence in social media."

We at The Aha! Agency strongly believe this and that's why we want to take you on this path to media enlightenment.  Contact us today

Google Application Development / Training


I feel that using the Google Toolset for SME's & Educational establishments is a win.. win scenario...

Google has a diverse set of aplications that, when amalgamated into an online presence is certainly a force to be reconned with. 


The advantages:
  • No development overhead...   you can maintain the website yourself and it's free. 
  • No Hosting overhead..  The Site is stored on the WWW and is free
  • Fully supportive..   Google's infrastructure is very resilient and is replicated in various data centres around the world.  

We aim to enlighten people to use Google as a platform to do all their day to day Business activities.   The Google tool-set enables Businesses to do full online collaboration - ranging from web Site building & maintenance / Google Mail / Google Calendar / Google Maps (so people can find you) / Picasa (Google's Image repository: store pictures in albums and enable automated slideshows) and YouTube (for video storage).  Not forgetting a rich analytics package to monitor site visits etc... 

An basic example of how Google Sites can aid an education establishment can be found via this online example...  > http://sites.google.com/a/googleclassrooms.org/mrs-richau/Home  Additional functionality like Online Forms for outing requests (set up via Google Docs) and School Calendars from Google Calendar can really add value...

MS Office Training

In my career as an IT Geek and project manager I have used the Total Office Suite to great effect, often being called on to help financiers out of sticky Excel problems and managers out of tricky Outlook issues.  Let me enthuse you with the hidden potential that MS Office has on offer.

Call me today for that one on one attention.


LinkedIn Enlightenment

Since joining LinkedIn mid 07, prior to leaving a role I'd been in for 7.5 years, I felt it was a tool whereby I could connect with a number of my work colleagues to stay in touch. Since then, I've adopted Christian mayaud's philosophy and became a Linked In Open Networker (LION) and since Dec 07 have met a load of great "like minded" individuals.  I'm one of twenty NZ open networkers and relish being part of a great community.

In summary the advantages are see are as follows:
  • A pool of highly skilled individuals only to willing to assist each other
  • In a sticky quandary in a work situation... a connection WILL have the answer
  • By being an open networker your pool of resource to call on exponentially increases As Ivan Misner has quoted

"Successful people do not achieve their success on their own; instead,
they surround themselves with a well-developed,
sophisticated support network."

The secrets of the utilisation of LinkedIn are out there for all to see. You just need to know where to look. The essence is "givers gain". We're all here to assist each other and I'm seeing the power of the collective really reap dividends. All this matters in my industry because being part of a charitable organisation we have to make limited capital have a far reach into the psyche of the population. I tap into my network for ideas and vendor contacts to utilise the latest web2.0 technologies to put us ahead of the game when we're competing for the conscience of a nation. Hope this is a thought provoking answer and hopefully the links below, including my blog rant will take you off into new directions.

Let us take you along the road in your quest for LinkedIn fulfillment.

We offer face to face training that will equip you in being able to utlise this network fully.  It's an untapped resource that doesn't take much to master.
