The Anvil Awards, given by The Ad Rodeo Association to the best work to come out of Calgary’s advertising community, were awarded on Friday, with this year’s Best in Show going to C&B Advertising.
The agency won for its rebranding work with Tourism Jasper. In addition to a new logo and brand package, the work also included a campaign led by a new, cinematic spot.

Altogether, C&B won seven Anvils, which also included work for Calgary Co-Op and the Calgary Stampede.
The most Anvils, however, went to MacLaren McCann, led by a variety of direct, OOH and B2B work for Bayer. It also picked up wins for GM, the National Music Centre and local shave shop Kent of Inglewood.
The winner of the Ad Rodeo’s student competition was Anjuli Macasinag, a third-year advertising student at Alberta College of Art and Design.
Altogether, 15 Calgary agencies went home with at least one Anvil, with a full 18 recognized with Merits (the equivalent of a runner-up). See the full results below:
