In its 87th year, the Marketing Awards honours the country’s best and brightest in advertising creative. The event draws from the top in creative minds across the country to assess the entries and bestow the honours. This year, our own creative director, Brad Dykema, is among the chosen jury members (click here for a full list of jurors).

A graduate of both the Film & Television and Media Copywriting programs at Toronto’s Humber College, and a multi-award-winning copywriter, Brad has worked at advertising agencies across the country and beyond. His own work has been recognized with an impressive list of awards from Marketing, Bessies, New York Festivals, ICE Awards, Extra Awards, Advertising and Design, London International Advertising Awards, Archive Magazine, Applied Arts and more.

A Marketing magazine production, the Marketing Awards are some of the most coveted domestic prizes in the Canadian advertising industry.

“We’re really excited about the group we’ve brought together,” Patrick Scissons, vice-president, group creative director, BBDO Toronto said in a Marketing magazine press release. “Aside from all having great work behind them, these are people that truly understand the big picture and the ever-changing landscape we work in.”

Scissons’ co-chair, Frédéric Girard, a Montreal-based creative director (most recently with Sid Lee), seconded Scissons’ appraisal, adding “Smart people who dont mind being locked in a room with cold coffee and finger sandwiches for 48 hours straight.”
