2moHartley Pickens reposted thisNo B.S. When you’re in the public eye for this long you get more than your fair share of attention, both good and bad. But I learned a long time ago that any success I’ve had is the result of working with incredible people and incredible teams and a lot of luck. If you’re old enough, you realize that so much of your success comes because of the grace of others… I appreciate how cool this feels. But I really do think about all the people I’ve been on this trip with who made this such a fun career. Weirdly the Grateful Dead might have the best lyric for what life could be… What a long strange trip it’s been. #OrderofCanada 📷 Official photos captured by MS Anne-Marie Brisson, Rideau Hall OSGG 2026 -

Impact Billboards
78 followers
Why Billboard Location Matters A billboard’s impact depends on where it stands. Location determines who sees your message, how often they see it, and when they see it. In Edmonton and across Alberta, the best billboard locations share three things: The right audience, strong traffic volume, and smart timing. Busy corridors like the QEII Highway between Edmonton and the Edmonton International Airport are often used as examples because they combine commuter traffic, travelers, and repeat exposure. Great billboard campaigns are not just designed well. They are placed well. https://lnkd.in/gGUNcJNB

Newsprint isn’t facing a short-term “cycle” anymore — it’s becoming a smaller, structural niche. Today on NetNewsLedger, we’re reporting that Thunder Bay Pulp & Paper plans to wind down newsprint production in Q1 2026, while continuing softwood kraft pulp operations and renewable power generation — and keeping the paper machine in a condition that could support a future conversion. What stands out in the broader context: Up to 150 workers are expected to be directly affected, with transition supports being discussed with unions and governments. Over the past decade, North American newsprint demand has steadily contracted as audiences and ad dollars moved to digital. Industry data points to a market increasingly reliant on exports and specialty end-uses rather than daily print newspapers. Across the sector, conversions (to packaging/other grades) have become one of the most common strategies to keep legacy assets viable. For Thunder Bay and Northwestern Ontario, the key question now is what the next phase looks like: How much regional activity was tied specifically to newsprint — and what can be sustained or grown through kraft pulp, energy, and potential reinvestment?

What happens when a locker wall becomes an interactive experience powered by magnetic release technology? That’s exactly what we set out to create when we collaborated with one of our partner agencies on an experiential activation for Rogers Communications at Erin Mills Town Centre. Guests scanned a QR code with their phone, played a quick match game directly on their device, and entered their email address to receive a unique access code. That code gave them the chance to unlock one of the lockers powered by our Magnetic Access Release System — a digitally controlled magnetic unlocking technology that releases access once a guest enters a valid code. While the locker wall featured nine lockers, only two were connected to the system. One contained the grand prize and the other held additional rewards, creating a moment of anticipation every time a code was entered. Experiential works best when it creates a moment people remember. Sometimes all it takes is the right technology to unlock it. #ExperientialMarketing #BrandActivations #RetailExperiences #InteractiveMarketing #EventMarketing
