Cossette wins huge Bell Ontario ad account

Article Abstract:

Cossette Communication Marketing, the largest advertising agency in Canada, beat five other agencies to land Bell Canada's Ontario advertising account worth an estimated C$60 million or more per year. ExpressVu, a direct-to-home satellite television service similarly owned by Montreal, Quebec-based BCE Inc., also selected Cossette as its national advertising agency. Bell Ontario opted for a single ad agency instead of three different creative advertising agencies in order to deliver a unified message to consumers, said Bell Ontario's John Sheridan.
