“When
you are finished changing, you’re
finished,” Benjamin Franklin. “The
world moves, and ideas that were once good are not always good,” Dwight D.
Eisenhower. “An
idea that is not dangerous is unworthy of being called an idea at all,” Oscar Wilde. The creative message is that these great
minds would attend if they could … and so should
anyone in the advertising and marketing community. Attending the week will better empower those
in the industry to manage and capitalize on this disruption. The campaign includes banner ads for online
and mobile devices, posters, print ads and direct mail.
Since its launch in 2009, FFWD:
Advertising and Marketing Week (www.advertisingweek.ca)

gathering of advertising, marketing and media leaders, attracting more than
6,000 attendees to Toronto each January to multiple events and inspiring
