Agency: Zulu Alpha Kilo | Title: Over Qualified Interns | Agency: MacLaren McCann | Title: Donuts/Fries
Canadian Advertising
Zak Mroueh founded Zulu Alpha Kilo in 2008 less than a year after he left Taxi, where he was the company’s COO. The name Zulu Alpha Kilo was inspired by the NATO phonetic alphabet and is a reflection of the company’s belief that your message must be simple and evocative to resonate.
Even before Zulu Alpha Kilo was completely up and running, Bell Canada asked Mroueh to develop a new creative platform for the company, a huge success for the fledgling agency. Zulu Alpha Kilo has thrived since it opened and landed Coca-Cola Canada as a client in 2010.
The Toronto-based agency created the ‘Over Qualified Interns‘ ad for the National Advertising Benevolent Society (NABS), which serves as a support system for Canadians in the industry facing personal, career and family challenges due to illness, injury, unemployment or financial concerns. The advertisement received a Gold award in the Advertising Annual 2014.
Agency: MacLaren McCann | Title: Being Accepted | Client: MasterCard
MacLaren McCann designed this ad for MasterCard to celebrate both the Toronto Gay Pride Parade and the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to strike down the Defense of Marriage Act.
