AGO picks Angry Butterfly to promote Leonard Cohen exhibit
The Art Gallery of Ontario has picked Angry Butterfly to lead a campaign promote the upcoming Leonard Cohen: Everybody Knows exhibit.
Angry Butterfly will work with the AGO’s internal design, communications and media teams on an integrated, multi-platform campaign that will promote the exhibit through Cohen’s “creativity and artistry.”
The exhibit, opening Dec. 7, is the first museum exhibition to present the holdings of the Leonard Cohen Family Trust. It will go through the artist’s creative life though rare concert footage, instruments, notebooks, letters, photos, drawings and digital art created by Cohen. Lisa Clements, chief communications and brand officer at the AGO, says the exhibition need “a big, bold marketing approach” to attract both existing Cohen fans and new ones.
Other wins for Angry Butterfly this year include Havergal College, Ivey Business School and Roar Beverages.
