To get more attention for Canada’s Paralympic athletes, the campaign allowed fans to live-stream events, filling in the gaps left by mainstream media coverage for the 2018 Winter Paralympics. The campaign also won three Golds, in the Community Building, Integrated Campaign and Online categories, as well as a Silver and Bronze.

As for Montreal Children’s Hospital Foundation work, Cossette helped the Foundation stand out among the other non-profits vying for donations through a visual identity that repurposed the image of a bandage to represent various ways that the hospital helps patients (beyond just medical care). It picked up an additional two Design Golds in the Corporate Identity and Logo categories.

All of the 2019 Marketing Awards winners across the Advertising, Design, Craft and Multicultural categories can be found on the Marketing Awards website.
