ATTENTION: ALL CANADIAN AGENCY EMPLOYEES.

If you don’t attend Canada’s first-ever Ad Week, you’ll top off your creative career hustling gold watches. Or zazzing tourists over three-card monty. Or as one of those silver guys that move really, really slowly.

(Okay, probably not really, but think of the fun you could have snickering at the too-cool creative douchebags that all seem to get their retro glasses and sneakers at the same off-Broadway boutique.)

Positively charming guerrilla and print work by Bos/Toronto and Trevor//Peter Communications.

“Sure, we’re using hyperbole,” acknowledges co-CD Gary Watson of Bos, “but […] unless you stop talking about being a part of this new age of communication and actually do it, you’ll become obsolete sooner than you think.”

We’ll drink to that. (Bottomless taps: another good reason to attend Ad Week. And the sessions are supposed to be a riot!)

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
