15 years of hosting Strategy AOY

Hosting the Agency of the Year Awards over the past 15 years has been one of the true joys of my career — and last night was a highlight.

I’m always so energized by the people in the room, inspired by the quality of the work, and deeply proud to be part of the Canadian creative community. 🇨🇦

And this year’s show had a little extra excitement — with the Toronto Blue Jays playing right after! (We wrapped at 7:59 pm sharp so everyone could catch the game.) Weaving a bit of World Series energy into an ad-industry celebration made for a truly special night at the mic. ⚾🎤

Huge thanks to Mary Maddever, my co-host Lyranda Martin-Evans, producer extraordinaire Erin Conway, and the entire Strategy Magazine team for creating such a memorable event, and for the trust you place in us.

Congratulations to all the shortlisted agencies and the winners (shoutout below!). Once again, you work absolutely blew me away! 💥
