QSRs not only dominated radio advertising in the week of Nov 6-12, but also TV advertising in Canada.

According to AdEase TV’s latest report, Tim Hortons ranked first among the top 10 most active advertisers nationally. The QSR climbed 17 positions from the previous week and aired over 2,000 combined ads.

Just below it is laundry brand Downy with 1,913 combined ads. The Brick also returned to the top 10, ranking first in Calgary and Toronto, second in Vancouver and third in Montreal.

McDonald’s and A&W were among the brands that maintained their TV presence in the past two weeks, staying in the top 10 across several markets. And Doordash and Uber ads have also remained on Canadians’ TVs during this cold, eating-at-home season.
