King Ursa has picked up a pair of new clients, which come following the hiring of Annie Bedard as head of the strategy for the Toronto-based shop.

Bedard will lead the strategy offering at King Ursa having spent nearly a decade as a digital strategist in Toronto and New York at Blast Radius, Critical Mass, OgilvyOne and, most recently, Jam3, where she worked on the Facebook, Google, Adidas and Unilever accounts, among others.

She arrives at a time of growth for the agency, which was founded four years ago and combines production, creative and consultancy services. It recently named Joanna McFarlane as its first director of digital analytics and insights.

Jam3 recently named a new head of strategy to fill the vacancy left by Bedard.

On the new business front, King Ursa has been selected as AOR for chicken products company Maple Lodge Farms. It will lead digital work for both Maple Lodge’s title brand and its Zabiha Halal business, with the goal of building awareness and driving consideration. Media Dimensions has held the media account since 2006, while Riddoch Communications has been the brand’s creative agency partner for the last 19 years, according to a press release.

King Ursa has also picked up a new account with a global mandate. The agency is developing a first masterbrand campaign for Invista-owned Cordura, a branded fabric used in high-performance gear and apparel products, that will roll out across the U.S. and the U.K. in January. The work will run across digital and social channels.

Outside of those new accounts, King Ursa currently works with The Beer Store, Moosehead Breweries, Timberland, Lone Star Texas Grill, Aphria and, more recently, Jagermeister.
