At the Green Building Festival



I just finished setting up our booth at the Green Building Festival in the Toronto Congress Centre.

As a media sponsor of the festival my goal is to help position our paper as a leading source for news and articles reflecting the change in the construction industry in Canada. I also served as a media sponsor of the Canada Green Building Council Shifting into the Mainstream Summit.

In the past media sponsorship and marketing initatives such as this event where not full explored. The benefit of course is increasing our coverage in the Ontario Construction Industry and also raising awareness of our products. Other media sponsorships or initiatives I have set up this year include:



OGCA Partner

CaGBC Media Sponsor

Green Building Festival Media Sponsor

Niagara Construction Association Golf Tournament Media Sponsor

Canadian Design Build Institue Sponsor

Wood WORKS! Media Sponsor

Skills Ontario Silver Sponsor

IAPA Health and Safety Conference Toronto Media Sponsor



The biggest advantage I have discovered this year with these initatives is the ability to create more opportunities for face to face meetings with our advertisers, industry leaders and new clients.
