Mindshare Canada Sweeps the Canadian Marketing Association Awards

TORONTO, Nov. 30, 2017 /CNW/ -- Mindshare Canada, the global media agency network that's part of WPP, won big at the Canadian Marketing Association Awards last week. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the CMA Awards honor the outstanding work produced by the partnerships between clients and agencies. Mindshare Canada's client work took home 12 awards, including eight Golds, and spanned categories such as promotion/shopper marketing, digital consumer services, experiential and innovative media, and much more. And at the end, Mindshare Canada was one of the most awarded agencies of the night.

But that's not all. These CMA wins come on the heels of a big winning streak for the agency. Just a few weeks ago, Mindshare Canada also took home the Bronze trophy for Media Agency of the Year at Strategy Magazine's Agency of the Year Awards. And in the past couple months alone, the agency has also had its work honored at the WARC Awards, Strategy Awards, SMARTIES Awards, and Ad Club of Toronto's Out of Home Showdown.
