2021 CMA Award Winners


On Thursday, November 18th the Canadian marketing community gathered in an immersive online experience to celebrate the top marketing campaigns of the year.

Volkswagen Canada, in partnership with TYPE1 (TAXI + Wunderman Thompson), and YWCA Metro Vancouver, in partnership with Rethink, are among the top winners of the evening. In a demonstration of the strength of the marketing sector, award entries were up by well over 50% compared to 2020.

“The quality and increased number of entries this year show that marketers are agile and innovative, finding ways to reach their customers even amidst the challenges of the past 18 months,” said John Wiltshire, our president and CEO. “Their creativity and resilience deserve to be recognized, as they strive to meet the needs and wishes of consumers.”

Throughout the evening, a series of awards were presented across six disciplines: brand building, business impact, customer experience, engagement, innovative media and martech. Within each discipline, entries compete in one of nine categories (automotive, business, consumer products, consumer services, financial, food & beverage, health care, retail and social causes).



Winners by Category

Brand Building

Award: Gold 
Campaign: The Carbon-Neutral Net
Client: Volkswagen Canada
Agency: TYPE1 (TAXI + Wunderman Thompson)

The internet has a carbon footprint. So, to launch Volkswagen’s all-electric SUV, we made their website as sustainable as their all-new EV. We replaced every image with over 1.5 million ASCII characters, reducing the amount of embedded data. The result? A site that is 99% cleaner than over 2 million sites tested.

Agency: Leo Burnett

Over the last 100 years, the paint category has been as exciting as watching paint dry. In 2020, PREMIER Paint was ready to come out swinging with something meaningful. They introduced Ready to Roll (RTR)—paint in a bag, designed to take the pain out of painting, challenge the category and offer people an easier way to paint.

Campaign: American Express - Shop Small
Client: American Express Canada
Agency: UM Canada

In response to the devastating impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on small businesses, AMEX launched a powerful campaign to encourage Canadians to Shop Small and switch from ‘autopilot’ to ‘purposeful’ purchasing. The campaign humanized the face of small business and provided a stage for their inspiring personal stories, putting the spotlight on BIPOC owners, who were disproportionately affected by the pandemic. To drive action, AMEX created an industry-first #ShopSmallStories video content series, launched virtual Twitter pop-up shops profiling owners, collaborated with local influencers, and invited cardmembers to act through a unique, social media driven incentive program. The campaign directly infused millions into the small business community and helped over 64,000 businesses stay on the road to recovery.

Campaign: RATESDOTCA Launch Campaign
Client: RATESDOTCA
Agency: Zulu Alpha Kilo

RATESDOTCA, an insurance comparison site, encouraged Canadians to take an active role in getting a great rate on their insurance. Embracing a common metaphor for overpaying, the Don’t Get Milk campaign provided the language to define the problem, and a vivid symbol of consumers’ complacency: a sack of cow udders. The visually intrusive device helped generate a 180% increase in website traffic.

To protect its clients from scam artists amid the pandemic, HomeEquity Bank (HEB) developed a fraud-prevention masterclass series titled “Catch the Scam” featuring Frank Abagnale, history’s most notorious conman.

The Canadian Cancer Society CIBC Run for the Cure was transformed from what is normally an in-person gathering of 80,000 people across Canada to a digital event that was safe and just as exciting as every other year. We achieved this by gamifying fundraising with customizable avatars before the virtual Run Day.

Business Impact

Award: Gold 
Campaign: Out-of-work mannequins
Client: Toronto Association of Business Improvement Areas (TABIA)
Agency: Zulu Alpha Kilo

As COVID surged last Fall, Ontario’s non-essential retail was forced to close. Yet big box stores could stay open selling non-essential items. We recruited ‘Out-of-work mannequins’ to protest these unfair lockdown measures in two of Toronto’s busiest retail districts. Each mannequin held a provocative sign that appealed to the public to shop local and the government to amend its lockdown measures that punished small business.

Bryan Pearson profile picture

Bryan Pearson
Former CEO of LoyaltyOne Co.

Biography
Bryan Pearson is the former President and CEO of Alliance Data’s LoyaltyOne, a global leader in loyalty marketing services and programs. Currently serving as a strategic advisor to a number of organizations, Bryan is a global leader in loyalty, retail marketing and analytics. In 2012, he published the New York Times best seller The Loyalty Leap: Turning Customer Information into Customer Intimacy and published the companion book The Loyalty Leap for B2B in 2013. 

Bryan began his career as a marketing manager at Alias before joining LoyaltyOne in 1992. At LoyaltyOne, he was responsible for the program’s food retail partners before leading the client relationship teams in three Canadian offices. In 1999, Bryan was promoted to President of Air Miles and was instrumental in realizing the full potential of the Air Miles Reward Program over the next 20 years.

Professional Accomplishments
As President and CEO of Air Miles, Bryan was instrumental in transforming how retailers, credit cards and other service providers engage with their customers to position and manage brands. He shaped the conversation around using data and analytics insights for marketing and returns on investments, which were core to the ongoing success of Air Miles. His other notable successes at Air Miles include:

  • Expanding LoyaltyOne to include Precima, a data analytics company with a focus on price, promotion and assortment optimization as well as BrandLoyalty, a company focused on short-term tactical loyalty programs in high frequency retail environments. The international profile of both businesses helped establish LoyaltyOne as a global thought leader in the field of loyalty and retail analytics.
  • Growing LoyaltyOne revenues to CDN$2 billion by 2019, representing a revenue increase of 400%, with offices in more than 20 countries.
  • Expanding the Air Miles Reward Program from an idea to a pan-Canadian household brand that engaged over 70% of Canadians as collectors.

Additional Details
Bryan has gone above and beyond as a thought leader to spread the value of his insights to the larger industry. He frequently addresses students across several educational institutions and has actively supported them in career planning. He has also aided faculty at these institutions in providing access to materials and resources for them to incorporate loyalty and analytics data into their curriculum. 

Bryan’s thought leadership on loyalty, customer experience and leveraging analytics has been cited in more than 250 articles in leading publications such as Forbes, Fast Company, The Wall Street Journal and Businessweek. Bryan was also recognized by the University of Alberta’s School of Retail as a leading thinker and was recognized with an award for innovation.
