Here’s an incredible opportunity to be remembered forever.

Terry O’Reilly, Co-Founder of Pirate Group and Host of The Age of Persuasion says, “As anyone who listens to The Age of Persuasion knows, I love advertising history. But my show is slowly becoming weighted to the American story. Why? Because it’s so difficult to find Canadian advertising history and preserved commercials. The Canadian advertising industry has produced brilliant work for decades –important work – that has reflected our unique culture. I fear it is being lost to the sands of time. We need a Canadian Advertising Museum.”

You can help us to build The Canadian Advertising Museum.

This virtual museum will give all Canadians something we’ve never had before –a place to store all our advertising history. From the beginning of Canadian advertising in the mid forties until today and for generations to come, people will be able to see how we thought, felt and looked at life in any decade just by visiting canadianadvertisingmuseum.com.

Every country with an advertising past – France, Japan, Germany, the US and the UK – has an advertising museum, except Canada. As a world class advertiser Canada needs one as a reflection of our own unique culture.

Ad careers from the 60’s 70’s and 80’s are fading and we are losing the brilliance that created and ran the campaigns of those decades. It is urgent we begin now to save our advertising history before it is lost forever.

Advertising touches all our lives as a society and is a reflection of who we are as a country. Our own Canadian Advertising Museum will let us look back down all the roads we’ve traveled as a nation and show us the paths ahead. We invite you to help build Canada’s Advertising Museum to remember our past and to be remembered.

Be part of our advertising legacy and put your name on it before September 30th.
