October 19, 2018

It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for: the last iteration of the MIAs shortlist.

In our final MIAs shortlist, we focus on Products and Services across 10 categories including Automotive, B2B Marketing, Consumer Goods, Durable Goods and more. You’ll see who’s made the cut so far, but you’ll have to wait until the MIAs Gala on Nov. 28 at the Carlu in Toronto to see who our jury has picked for Gold, Silver and Bronze.

Earlier this week, we announced the shortlist for media insights, niche marketing, content and digital.
