25 February 2026

Bell eschewed the usual "teary eyed" approach to Olympic advertising with new work on its "Connection is Everything" brand platform. Meanwhile, Salt XC added to its media capabilities with a U.S. acquisition, and We Are Social Canada named Krisztina Virag its new managing director. Bell also expanded its successful content-to-commerce program with Shopsense AI to include both additional formats and the Quebec market. Finally, the week also saw new campaigns from Childhood Cancer Canada, and Casey House.
