Community Investment Programme Update: Supporting Elephant Parade in 2012

Our friends at Elephant Parade have already raised millions to save elephants in their habitat. They do a remarkable job and we love the way their parades draw the worlds of business, art and conservation together. In these tough economic times, their bright elephant parades bring some creatvity, excitement and vibrant colour to the cities they visit and put smiles on faces. Socially inclusive, great fun and extermely worthwhile, we are proud to support Elephant Parade's work in 2012.

elephant communications is serious about making a real and meaningful contribution to the society we work in. In addition to running a low-overhead business to offer clients excellent value for money, we are committing  5% of our net profits in 2012 to support two projects - the elephant parade and the Philharmonia Orchestra's education programme across the UK. In addition, we will be running free quarterly advice days for small businesses and kicking off a programme of sponsorsing creativity awards in schools later in the year.

These four initiatives make up our community programme. This work forms an integral part of what we are about at elephant communications and our commitment to creating a PR consulting business based on authenticity, creativity and societal relevance.
