Effie Worldwide, in partnership with the Institute of Communication Agencies (ICA), is pleased to announce the launch of Effie Canada. 

The CASSIES Awards, which have honored marketing ROI in Canada since 1993, are joining the global Effie Awards network to become Effie Canada.  The transformation of the CASSIES into Effie Canada is being led by the ICA to better put Canadian marketing effectiveness on the global stage.  This move will allow Effie to root more deeply in Canada and expand its reach to more marketers in the region.

Effie Worldwide’s North American program will merge with the CASSIES, creating Effie Canada and Effie United States, and will kick off during the 2019 call for entries cycle, launching Fall 2018.
