About Us A Message from the IABC/Toronto President As new communications channels continue to appear and develop, communicators are required to work harder to deliver concise messages to audiences and make them stand out. This year’s OVATION Awards theme “Show Your Colours!” reflects the challenge we face as communicators to be heard in a crowded media landscape. In a record‐breaking year for OVATION award submissions, these winners being recognized tonight delivered outstanding communication programs which met this challenge head‐on with strategic and innovative thinking. Each winning entry demonstrated to the judges the unique challenge of the project, the team’s meticulous thought process and the creativity of their solutions. Of course, this program would not be possible without all of the hard work of numerous volunteers. A huge debt of gratitude is due to the IABC/Toronto members who have spent hundreds of hours to put on the OVATION program, especially Katie O’Dell, VP of Awards and Cyrus Mavalwala ABC, VP of Accreditation & Standards. Katie has been leading a large team of volunteers since September to ensure the program’s success. Cyrus organized a team of senior communication professionals who offered their weekends and evenings to carefully review and judge the entries. The efforts of all of these volunteers continue to strengthen and enrich the program. We also owe a big thank you to our sponsors: News Canada, The Canadian Press Images, CNW Group, Cision, and Fusion Design Group Inc. Your contributions and support are sincerely appreciated. On behalf of IABC/Toronto, I congratulate all the 2012 OVATION Award winners. We will all be cheering you on tonight as you Show Your Colours! Trell Huether President, IABC/Toronto A Message from the OVATIONS Awards Organizers The IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards recognize the high standard of excellence found in the Greater Toronto Area communications community. Each year we are amazed by the creativity and professionalism demonstrated by the entries. This year’s theme – Show Your Colours! – is reflective of some of the outstanding talent we’ve seen. Tonight, we celebrate OVATION Award winners, the Bobbie Resnick Philanthropy Award winner and the Student of the Year Award winner. We also celebrate the success of IABC/Toronto, the world’s largest IABC chapter. We can say with great confidence that the work being honoured tonight not only celebrates the best in our local area, but some of the finest creative communications in the world. This year, we saw a record number of OVATION entries. It is with sincere gratitude that we acknowledge all of the entrants, judges, advisors, sponsors and volunteers who were involved with the 2012 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards. We would especially like to thank our judges who spent countless hours poring over this year’s submissions, as well as Daniella Girgenti, Karen Madho and Sacha Vaz for all their help on the ground. We also owe thanks to an amazing team of Awards volunteers led by directors Kate Blackwell, Sheena Campbell, Suzanna Cohen, ABC, Aarathi Edward, Beverly Fairclough, Katherine Kolenchuk, Steven Mills, Jill Noble, Juliet Paul‐Kamanu and Elizabeth Pek. Your creativity, enthusiasm and hard work have gone a long way to make the entire OVATION Awards program a success. We’d also like to extend our gratitude to this year’s sponsors for their support: NewsCanada, The Canadian Press Images, CNW Group, Cision and Fusion Design Group. We invite you to sit back, raise your glass, and laugh at the comedic antics of Second City’s Lee Smart in celebration of the 2012 IABC/Toronto OVATION Awards.
