Capital C

Award season to benefit Boys and Girls Club

To our wonderful clients, agency partners and suppliers,

Winning awards are a big part of the ‘agency’ world and Capital C has won some of the biggest – Marketing Magazine’s Agency of the Year, Best of Shows, World Wide Globes, Big Awards, Marketing Golds, Sponsorship Golds etc.  Each and every time it is a proud moment for our clients and for all of Capital C. However this year we chose a different path, one where we didn’t enter any awards competition even though we had some of our best work ever to showcase.  

We made the decision to donate the equivalent time and money to the Boys and Girls Club and their efforts to create a new home in Regent Park.  It is a substantial investment for our agency and one we are very proud to make in the community next to where we work.  When the Club realizes its fund raising goals I am sure we will be back competing with a vengeance.
