the alchemy of effectiveness: a focus on Canada
Having a clever ad is great, but having an effective ad is great for business.
While there is a wealth of outstanding research on this topic coming from the UK and US markets, we believe there’s much more to be done in Canada, which is why we were delighted to partner with the ICA on this in-depth analysis of Effie participants’ business outcomes.
And who better to lead this research than Peter Field, the guru of advertising effectiveness? Peter has spent years evaluating similar case studies from brands in the UK and Australia, and we’re thrilled that he and his collaborator Rob Brittain are now using their expertise to provide insights on the effectiveness of Canadian campaigns.
Check out the Effies whitepaper and presentation to find out what Canada’s most effective campaigns can teach us about brand building and business growth.
