Our Facebook Wall at Mindshare Canada

Facebook Canada shared our latest work on Mindshare Canada's wall. (Literally. On their wall.) 

We recently wrapped up work designing The Coming of Age on Screens, a new Facebook IQ study on millennial behaviour that was illustrated by our super-talented creative Anna Dunn.

The study found marketing to millennials is fundamentally flawed as it fails to acknowledge the different characteristics prevalent in how young people interact today.  

Highlights from The Coming of Age on Screens were featured on Campaign magazine and then, somewhat amazingly, Mindshare Canada wallpapered a room at their HQ with our work.

Cool huh? 

Steve Hatch, regional director, UK and Ireland at Facebook, said:

If you want to know where the future is going, it's best to look at those who are living it right now. Findings from The Coming of Age on Screens show the fundamentals of living today haven't changed, but the ways that young people are communicating is different.

The report was a collaborative effort between our team and Facebook, Margaret and culture experts, Crowd DNA.

#TBT - Mindshare Canada Huddle!

Last year, Mindshare Canada hosted it's first Huddle. In case you didn't know what a Mindshare 'Huddle' is: It's a day long event where we shut down the agency and we brought everyone in the agency, plus a few experts and friends, just to talk that talk about media and the such. Informal and relaxed - we asked questions, raised eyebrows, tried to have meaningful conversations, and even made donuts. So choice.  Here's a video encapsulating everything about that day. Hopefully we can do it again.

Heart and Stroke Foundation Works With Time

The Heart and Stroke Foundation has kicked off February’s Heart Month with a new campaign around the tagline “Make Health Last” that builds off last year’s wake-up call of “Make Death Wait.”

With creative from Lowe Roche and media from Mindshare, the TV, print and digital campaign is built around the Statistics Canada number that shows a gap of about 10 years between the age Canadians are living to, and how long they are living in health. That gap is primarily due to heart disease, stroke and other chronic health conditions, says Geoff Craig, VP marketing, communications and strategic alliances, the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
