If you’re a Toronto young professional in advertising, marketing, or media, we don’t have to tell you that you should be at FFWD Advertising and Marketing Week (January 25-29).
If we do, then you’re not doing too great a job stepping up your professional game in 2016.
Of course, FFWD is Canada’s largest and most diverse annual gathering of both leaders and up-and-comers in advertising, marketing, and media. You can expect a jam-packed week of leadership conferences, galas, awards, and keynote and panel presentations.
The week showcases Canada’s best in the industry, while offering a forum to highlight new ideas, future trends, and industry discussions.
This year’s lineup of speakers includes people like Mark Tutssel, Global Chief Creative Officer Leo Burnett Worldwide, Andrew Bruce, President & CEO Publicis Worldwide North America, Zahra Kanji, Google Strategy and Insights Lead, and Diane Bégin, Account Director at APEX Public Relations.
And we’re definitely also excited to check out the Ipsos Most Influential Brands in Canada Study presentation on Tuesday.
Event highlights include a speaker series from Google Canada, Yahoo, and Kijiji, Master Classes on everything from brand building to connecting with customers, and the Cannes Reel, a screening of the world’s best commercials from the 2015 Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity. As if that wasn’t enough, you can also expect the Morning Masters Series and a closing by Maurice Levy from the Publicist Group.
And it isn’t all business; the often-wild #AdBall party offers a chance to let loose and network with fellow industry professionals – especially with this year’s theme of “Boogie Down Bourbon” (you’re probably going to want to order more business cards).
Don’t miss out; pick up your tickets here.
