When looking at digital marketing, search engine optimization often comes up, but why is it so important?

This month at adHOME, one of our esteemed Account Directors took us back to a time long ago when copywriters were kings.

While the volume during one of our brainstorming sessions may suggest that there are hundreds of us, we’re really only a team of 25. Our adHOME team certainly roared when we worked on our award-winning campaign for the Ontario Senior Games Association entitled “Age is Nothing. Game is Everything”. In addition to winning a Summit…
As Canadians, we’re used to “excuse me,” “sorry,” and other over the top cordial behaviour that has been coined “a Canadian thing.” Nevertheless, Canadians have adopted the idea of Black Friday, originally blossoming in the United States. Albeit Canadian culture doesn’t condone the rambunctiousness that comes with Black Friday in America, it has become quite…
Christmas is a time of giving. For many members of our adHOME family that includes giving gifts of love to our four-legged friends.

We did it! After more than a year of looking, planning, interior designing and packing, we’ve finally relocated to 318 Wolfe Street in the heart of downtown London.

I would like, if I may, to take you on a strange journey. It all started on the 16th of June in 1973… Misfits, drunks and partygoers gathered in a small, dark room located above the Royal Court Theatre in London to see the musical that tells the story of a mad transvestite scientist that boasts a…

There is an invisible marketing tool that is often overlooked; and that’s the power of sound. In the beginning, there was a voice. When you were born, one of the first voices to grace your eardrums was your mother’s. It has been proven that a mother’s voice to her child is so powerful that it…
It all started on a cold winter night in 1934. Walt Disney playfully tossed his staff some cash and told them to get dinner and meet him promptly at the Disney soundstage. Disney stood alone in the spotlight of a dark and dusty stage, staring back at his group of staff who were unprepared for…
Walking into Mary-Ellen’s office, three things are extremely apparent.

Ahhh, Netflix and chill. The seemingly innocent phrase that has become one of the most popular sexual innuendos of the generation… but what does it actually mean? According to urban dictionary, it involves anything but actually watching Netflix and “chilling” but we’ll let you explore that one on your own. The phrase is commonly used…
Google’s attempt to purchase Impossible Foods, a vegan burger startup in Silicon Valley, was the hot topic of a recent Breakfast Club presentation.

Babies are a gold mine. I’m sure that’s not the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about the many descriptive words for babies, but it couldn’t be truer. There are a few people in our office who are expecting in the coming months, which has spurred some discussion on the costs associated with…
An advertising agency is a machine, and every machine needs that grease to help it run smoothly and more efficiently. At adHOME, we work hard to bring our clients the most out of print and digital advertising, but what some people don’t see is what happens behind the scenes. Today, we would like to feature…
We are the champions! The adHOME team is absolutely ecstatic to announce that we won some very exciting advertising awards!

This Breakfast Club presentation is brought to you by Sesame Street! Just kidding… it’s not. But this week’s theme, team building, was inspired by Sesame Street’s “Cooperation Makes it Happen” song.

While doing research for a global brand campaign we’re launching for one of our clients, we stumbled upon some notable brand adaptations in foreign countries. Which led us to wonder… would a Burger King burger taste as delicious if it were a Hungry Jacks burger instead? This “brand shock” should be familiar to those of…
What does gay pride have to do with the Wizard of Oz? The phrase “are you a friend of Dorothy?” dates back to World War 2, when homosexual acts were still very illegal in the United States. It was a creative and safe way to find other homosexuals in secret. Why Dorothy though? In the…

It all started with a simple idea, to…
As creatives, we’re always hunting for the next trend (if not starting it). Inspired by the big move, Jason indulged us with a Breakfast Club presentation on ethonomics, the latest trend in office design. It might just be the future of workspaces and, naturally, we want to be at the forefront of this progressive shift. Ethonomic workspace designs promote…
This week at the adHOME headquarters we decided to discover the Snapchat app for ourselves with a tutorial on the platform. Snapchat was created five years ago by two college students. It was initially called “Picaboo” and was only available to iOS users. What makes Snapchat different from all the other modern ways of sharing visual content?…
Online, it all comes down to one thing: content. Whether it’s putting the consumer’s skills to the test and seeing what ads and ideas they can come up with for a contest, or whether you sit down and write it/film it/draw it yourself, content is what will draw consumers into your brand and keep them…
This week, adHOME explores movie posters, and how this special medium gets us into the theatre (preferably with popcorn!). Movie posters are an old medium, so keeping things fresh is a big task. In fact, the first movie posters started popping up in the 1890s. One hundred and twenty (120) years ago. That was before…
At adHOME, we like to get to know you and your consumer so we can tailor the campaigns we build to suit your needs. We think maybe you’d like to get to know us as well. Today we had a chat with Javier, to provide insight into the life of a digital marketer. Before coming…
Okay so, Google, but then what? If you didn’t know it, the number two search engine is (controversially) YouTube! This top media sharing platform was evaluated this week here at adHOME. Why take a look at YouTube? Its been around since 2005, and it was bought by Google less than a year after officially launching…
As you may have heard, adHOME is moving!
Thursday afternoon was the first time the entire staff got together for a “Winedown” event over at our new home at the beautiful 318 Wolfe Street.
Javier presented his Breakfast Club this week on SXSW (a.k.a.

From the desk of Kayla Vanstone, adHOME Intern. This week’s Breakfast Club it was my turn to present, so we explored the latest in brand wars and rivalries. Some brand rivalries have existed for as long as we can remember – namely Coke vs. Pepsi – while others are in the infant stages of…
For this month’s Home Skooled, adHOME looked at the documentary The Secret World of Lego. The documentary—which is currently a controversial issue since Lego feels it is portrayed too much like a cult—delves into the top secret world of Lego, where shutters are closed and doors are locked so that any of the new toy…
“Siri.” “Okay Google.” “Alexa.” You can put almost anything in quotes and it’d be a voice command for some sort of device. This week adHOME discovers Voice Assistance and the devices and brands that are looking to capitalize on this technology. The first big brand that’s taking a bite of this pie is Amazon. Last…
For this week’s Breakfast Club, Jason took the floor to discuss innovation in droning technology. Not the monotone kind, or the bee kind, but the man-made and unmanned flying kind.

Tony presented this week’s Breakfast Club on Deadpool, and this recent highly successful movie. We have to refer to Deadpool like a real guy because he thinks he is… and we want it to be true.

At adHOME, we know the consumer and consumerism, from services to products, from patterns to shelf-life, and like any other product, music fits into this map somewhere, but sometimes it’s hard to determine quite where. Certain music seems disposable—it might play non-stop on the radio for three months and then get replaced, never to…
At our Breakfast Club on Monday, Matt’s presentation was on the topical movie that might just shatter the popular meme of an Oscar-less Leonardo DiCaprio: The Revenant. Matt didn’t want to spoil anything though, so his presentation explored the arguably more interesting topic of the historic truth behind the movie. Hugh Glass, the main character…
For this week’s Breakfast Club, Katie presented us with some of the most intriguing and perhaps odd technologies of the future.

“A new year, a new you” is not exactly what the film industry is thinking for 2016.

The age old question of “Where do you want to eat lunch?” has plagued enough workplaces. Take a look at a typical interaction in our office.

Determination is a curious thing. How can some people have “stick-to-it-tivness” and others stop at the first hurdle. What can we learn from people who have overcome overwhelming odds to succeed? Our Designer, Kate had the same questions and this week she shared the findings with the team. Kate looked at three incredible lives; Johnny…
What kind of tourist are you? Do you prefer the familiar?

Growing up our parents, grandparents and teachers taught us to always be kind and share our toys with others. As adults, we never anticipated that these values would be taken so literally. The rise of the sharing economy has us sharing our homes, our cars and other resources with complete strangers and feeling good about…
Advertising is hooked on creative designs, and rightly so. They’re the backbone of any good campaign and something we constantly strive for at adHOME.

It’s humble nature means it ends up often as an overlooked and underestimated element in advertising:…

Like many people, I often think of the music industry as a maze of creativity. A puzzle of melodies, beats and notes. A way of life that feeds your heart and soul. But I never really think about its mortality – is the music industry declining? Is creativity dying off? We discussed this potential phenomenon…
“Eat Fresh”, “Open Happiness”, and “Betcha can’t eat just one”. While many brands, such as Starbucks, are opting to drop their tagline, we talked about the importance and viability of the tagline.

One of adHOME’s longest-standing clients, Maple Leaf Foodservice, faced this challenge with its golf course customers. If golfers skip the clubhouse, it…
A sandwich might just be the perfect food.
