The firm, which was named Gold Quill Mid-Size Agency of the Year 2019 at the IABC World Conference in June, in addition to IABC/Toronto Mid-Size Agency of the Year (for the seventh time in the last 10 years) in May, is thrilled to announce six new clients that span multiple industries. They include: VStar Entertainment Group, CPA Canada, MUJI, foodora, Trend Hunter and Node.
“2019 has been a remarkable year of growth for Strategic Objectives as we continue to expand our portfolio to represent some of the best brands in Canada,” says Deborah Weinstein, partner and co-founder. “Being recognized as the World’s Best Mid-Size PR Agency, as well as Toronto Agency of the Year by our peers in the industry, is just the icing on the cake and testament to how hard our team works for our clients every day.”
Strategic Objectives’ new client roster includes:
VStar Entertainment Group (VStar)
VStar Entertainment Group, owned by global entertainment leader Cirque du Soleil Entertainment Group, is a leading producer of unforgettable live experiences for consumers around the world. Strategic Objectives is partnering with VStar to launch four family-focused shows in the Canadian market in 2019 and 2020: Trolls LIVE!, Nick Jr Live!, PAW Patrol Live! “Race to the Rescue” and PAW Patrol Live! “The Great Pirate Adventure”. The campaign includes extensive national and regional media and influencer relations to build awareness of the shows across the country and drive ticket sales.

The program provoked a 25% spike in web traffic on the day of the news release, with no marketing support beyond PR, and earned more than 39.5+ million positive impressions in under a month.
