309 Great Canadian Campaigns

There’s no “Made in Canada” label on ad campaigns: but Terry O’Reilly often wishes there were. This week he proudly tells the story of some Made-in-Canada success stories. They’re ad campaigns with maple syrup in their veins; how an idea resurrected from a wastebasket put one retail chain on the map; how a campaign that ran on TV just six times is still talked about, nearly four decades later. And how a three-word ad phrase brought a nation to its feet.

  1. REALLY Made IN Canada on

    I think the “Made in Canada” label has lost its authority in pointing Canadians to excellent local goods and services. ANY products, or campaigns which stir a Canadian’s spirit don’t need a label to be recognized for what they are.

    Canada is ripe for a resurgence of LOCAL national economy. I look forward to these success stories!
