When the Institute of Communication Agencies began planning Canada's first Advertising Week, Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson seemed an obvious fit for keynote speaker at the event, held Monday through Thursday in six cities across Canada. "We chose Virgin as they represent the essence of branding and the importance of advertising," said Advertising Week event manager Stacey Farber. "Securing Sir Richard Branson was difficult, but [ICA member] Cossette Communication Group has Virgin as a client, which helped us get in."

Branson was the guest speaker at a business luncheon for 630 guests at Filmport Studios on Wednesday. "Advertising Week is a celebration of both the industry's exemplary creativity and its $24 billion contribution to the economy," ICA chairman Brett Marchand said in a statement. "That's why it couldn't be more fitting than to highlight the week with Sir Richard Branson's presence. His marketing savvy has turned the Virgin Group into one of the world's most valuable and recognized brands." MORE >>

Advertising Week Events Set for Six Canadian Cities

Canada's first-ever Advertising Week gets under way in six cities across the country Monday and more than 2,000 participants are expected to attend events taking place in Toronto. "There are a lot of events going on that are amalgamating the advertising and communication industries at large," said Advertising Week event manager Stacey Farber, who began planning the four days of activities a year ago.

Created by the Institute of Communication Agencies to celebrate the industry and encourage young people to join the profession, Advertising Week takes place in Toronto, Montreal, Halifax, Calgary, Edmonton, and Vancouver from Monday through Thursday. Highlights of the Toronto festivities include a kickoff breakfast at the Art Gallery of Ontario on Monday, followed by a cocktail party for sponsors and speakers at the Gardiner Museum later that evening.
