Letter From the Editor-in-Chief


and Publisher
There are only two things Canadian marketers can be sure
about in 2016: that technology will continue to disrupt the
way they do everything from buying ads to gleaning insights
for data-driven decision-making, and that the way they tell
brand stories needs to become a lot more sophisticated to
build trust.
Neither of these are challenges that can be overcome by
a single individual or organization. It requires a community

Shane Schick
of peers who can connect, learn ideas and share them
Editor-in-Chief
widely. Thats where we come in: Marketing is the platform
where Canadian advertisers, agencies and creative
professionals will solve their most difficult problems and
celebrate their successes.
The editorial journey we take with our audience can begin
anywhere but will live everywhere: This includes live events
that spark new relationships or strengthen old ones; online
articles that inform, educate and inspire; conversations
on video and social media that bring ideas to life; and a
print magazine that provides the permanent record of our

Alison Wood
industrys best practices.
Director, Group
Given our history, reputation and loyal audience, Marketing
Publisher, Marketing
is also the premium showcase for organizations who want
Group & Retail
direct access to Canadas key decision-makers. This media
kit will provide you everything you need to get started with
us. Lets start innovating together.
