Every year, a handful of brands stand out from the crowd.

Whether through category-defining innovation, stronger consumer connections or impressive business performance, they find ways to separate themselves from the competition.

Strategy‘s Brand of the Year recognizes the organizations that have made the strongest impact on the Canadian marketing landscape over the past year.

If you work for, or with, a brand that deserves consideration, send us your reasons (up to 500 words) why it should be named one of Strategy’s Brands of the Year.

Submissions should be sent to Brendan Christie at bchristie@brunico.com by July 17.

Selected brands will be featured in strategy‘s Fall print issue.
