“I have had the privilege to work with Alice to launch my niche beauty project’s website, email marketing strategy and other business needs as the brand evolves. She was able to easily identify and connect me with collaborative partnerships and brand development opportunities, forever caring for my business even after typical work hours. Alice possesses many qualities and skill sets that all entrepreneurs/organizations value - she is highly driven, results-oriented, strategic, detailed, and very punctual, but what separates Alice from others in the sea of talent is her character. I have yet to meet anyone as sincere and integrous in the workplace as Alice is. I would write recommendation after recommendation to showcase her sense of ethics and dedication to her professional work. If you have the opportunity to work with Alice, do not pass it up.”

She was thorough in her lesson plans, and was accessible for any extra help once our training sessions were over. Her continual feedback and encouragement throughout my term at Ballet BC definitely made me more confident in my marketing abilities. ”
— Milly Tsui, Marketing Co-ordinator at Ballet BC
“Alice has been an extraordinary asset to Ballet BC. While one can easily acquire and pass on technical skills, it is the business development skills that are truly difficult to teach. Alice’s innate relationship building, PR and development skills are unparalleled. Indeed, to say that any growing business would be lucky to have Alice on their development team is an understatement. Alice single-handedly grew our digital community, elevated our brand presence and went above and beyond her line of duty to support Ballet BC’s vision in every possible way.”
— Branislav Henselmann, Executive Director of Ballet BC
“Ballet BC developed our online presence and deepened our patron relationships due to the incredible, incomparable Alice Ko. Alice truly leverages the web as a space for activating authentic B2B and B2C relationships. In my 6 months of working with Alice, I have consistently seen her passionately seek key social media influencers and business leads for cross-promotional and sales opportunities. She is a connector, a motivator, a high-achiever, and a non-stop source of positivity and ideas. I highly recommend Alice for any digital strategy or business development opportunities.”
— Amy Strilchuk, Marketing Manager at Ballet BC
“I worked with Alice when she was the Digital Media Strategist for Ballet BC and found her to be dedicated, organized and analytical in her approach to social media statistics. At the time we met, Ballet BC had established a reputation for doing some interesting things in the social media space, but the ongoing challenge was successfully converting casual followers into ticket purchasers. Alice was the first person to successfully do this; and, deserves a lot of recognition for jump-starting this difficult process at the ballet company.
Alice’s strong people skills allowed her to gain access to the right team members for the right social media content. She provided Ballet BC followers shots of the dancers during rehearsals, dancers during their breaks, and dancers on their road trips. It was wonderful “insider” content of the highest quality. This content is not easy to obtain and Alice gained proper approvals for everything big and small. She never gave up on the long approval process and I admired her hard work in this area.
I would highly recommend Alice to any company looking to recruit a person who has both strong people skills and technical skills. It was a pleasure to work with her during my years at Ballet BC and I sincerely hope our paths cross again soon. ”
