February 1 is your last day to send strategy your case studies on brands that are making a socially responsible difference.

With the aim of identifying marketers that are ‘doing well by doing good,’ MiC‘s parent publication is sponsoring a juried competition, and calling for submissions to strategy‘s Cause + Action Awards – Honoring CSR Brand Plans That Are Changing Minds. And Matter.

Taxi nabbed gold in strategy magazine’s Agency of the Year competition for the fourth year running – a first in the competition’s history. The award was announced at Toronto’s York Event Theatre last night. Five other agencies were also recognized including Vancouver-based Rethink, which emerged from last year’s honourable mention standing to claim silver, while BBDO, which has offices in both Toronto and Montreal, captured bronze.

Taxi’s gold win was based on the work it submitted for five clients: Reitmans, Telus, Viagra, The Worldwide Short Film Festival and Nike – most notable for its hockey campaign, which pushed OOH to rarely used 50- and 150-ft. heights, with athlete images hanging from a crane and on a floating billboard in Vancouver harbour.
