The Globe Media Group hosted a party last evening to celebrate the relaunch of its brand, which kicked off in September. The event was aimed at bringing attention to the group’s diverse portfolio of content and content solutions for advertisers, including both its addition of Hearst properties to its Globe Alliance network, as well as its own properties, which include Globe Style and Drive. The event also highlighted the company’s branded content arm, Globe Edge.
The addition of Hearst properties to its portfolio, allowed the group to expand its advertiser offerings into the lifestyle and entertainment vertical, as well as its overall reach to 21 million Canadians.
The Globe’s event included a live performance by electropop band, Brave Shores. All images are taken by George Pimentel Photography.
