The idea for an advocacy group focused on using the tools on multimedia, social media etc. originated from the Founder's current Post Graduate Certificate of 'Mobile and Social Media Management', where his fellow students participated in the cause by creating short 'awareness videos'. Also, in May 2014, the Founder along with one or two Partners (students), plan to do a test run of providing media solutions to a locally based mental health organization, in Ottawa. Perhaps this consultancy will grow into a tangible business if the students decide to stay together, or if the Founder sees the sustainability of proceeding even primarily on his own.
