BBDO Toronto, Tropicana bring the sunshine way up north

Make no mistake, this has been one unusual winter, as far as the weather is concerned. Snow in Florida and Texas, crippling storms throughout much of the American northeast, and yet here in ihaveanidea’s Montreal base — a place normally buried under three feet of white stuff all season long — we are having one of the mildest, non-threatening winters in recent memory.

But one thing is certain: no matter what the weather patterns are like in most of the continent, if you go far enough north, it is always bitterly cold and very dark this time of year.
