I recently edited my own video for the first time - it was a lot of fun actually and not as hard as I thought it would be. I think I just want to make videos all the time now. I used a program called Movie Maker which is pretty simple but I will try a more advanced program later on so that I can make even better videos! The hardest part is probably getting people to be in the video itself; when people see me coming around with my camera, they usually want to run away from me :(. Some people just don't want to be on camera and that's fair; I'm learning which members of the dealership like to...

If you have been following us on Facebook, you may have seen or participated in a fun little puzzle game we had started on our page last week. The tagline was "Guess what's coming to Koch?" and the idea was to get our Facebook friends to vote on a puzzle piece they want to reveal each day until the full puzzle/image is revealed. Our fans are way too smart - someone guessed it with just two revealed puzzle pieces! NOOOOOO the game is over! but at the same time YAYYYYYYY we can reveal it now! Here it is guys - the ALL-NEW 2015 LINCOLN MKC! Great job William Bruce Wallace for recognizing the n...

Today, Maurice and I got to see the filming of a Crime Stoppers re-enactment - unfortunate circumstances, but it was an interesting experience for us to see how these short clips all come together. The reason we were there was because they needed to borrow a red Ford F-150 to re-enact the personal robbery that took place in January. Obviously, we were happy to help out. We were told they film about 26 of these re-enactments per year - a lot less than I thought it would be. This one will air May 5th for two weeks. The suspect was said to be driving a red truck thought to be a Ford F-150 and ...

My last blog post was 13 days ago - crazy! The last two weeks has flown by. Been keeping super busy learning about how things work around here, who does what and how I fit in. We figured that my title will now be Community Manager as it makes more sense with what my job entails and where we want to take this role. Also, Social Media/Marketing Coordinator is just way too long; Community Manager has a nice ring to it, don't you think? I'm sure I will still get the usual "hey, new girl!" or "you're the social media girl, right?" lol... yes, close enough. So, I've also made some new friends... ...

Over the length of the 2014 Winter Olympic games, Koch Ford Lincoln has been collecting equipment and monetary donations for The Brick Sport Central and KidSport Edmonton in an effort to support them in helping kids realize their potential and dreams through sports as well as promote lifelong health and wellness. These organizations help kids who would otherwise be denied the opportunity to participate in sports. The Brick Sport Central provides children in need with access to necessary sport equipment and the opportunity to participate in the sport of their choice. They gather, sort, recyc...
