Advertising Age columnist Bob Garfield will be the keynote speaker at the 11th annual CASSIE Awards in Toronto on Nov. 6. Author of And Now a Few Words from Me and other books, the popular ‘Ad Review’ columnist is currently writing a book titled Listenomics. A similar CASSIES celebration will take place the same evening in Montreal.

Canada’s only advertising awards based on proven business effectiveness, the CASSIES broke its own record this year, with a whopping 92 submitted case studies, up from 52 last year. The annual award show is presented by the Institute of Communication Agencies (ICA), the Association des agences de Publicité du Québec (AAPQ) and the Association Marketing de Montréal/Le Publicité Club de Montréal (AMM-PCM).

Award-winning case studies from past years can be viewed in the Case Library section of the CASSIES website at www.cassies.ca.
