ART & COPY reveals the stories behind and the personal odysseys of some of the most influential advertising visionaries of our time and their campaigns, including Lee Clow (Apple Computer 1984, and today’s iPod); Dan Wieden (“Just Do It”); Phyllis K. Robinson (who invented the “me generation” with Clairol); Hal Riney (who helped President Reagan get re-elected); and George Lois (who saved MTV and launched Tommy Hilfiger overnight).

Directed by Doug Pray (HYPE! SCRATCH), ART & COPY captures the creative energy and passion behind the iconic campaigns that have had a profound impact on American culture. Featuring rare interviews with the aforementioned industry legends, the film seeks to identify the elements that transform an slogan into a pop culture catch phrases.

ART & COPY provides a window into the creative process and the individuals who have changed our lives in ways we may not realize,” said Mary Warlick, CEO of The One Club. “The movie looks at advertising not as products flying off the shelf but as the work of a few American heroes who feel passionately about their craft, ideas, and the ability of ideas to change how people feel.”

The Canadian appetite for online video is growing and YouTube and other video sites are rapidly changing to meet users’ demands. The dramatic changes we have seen in Canadians’ online behaviour over the last few years has created a fundamental shift in the way video content is consumed. Jonathan Lister, Google’s Managing Director and Country Manager of Canada, will discuss the changes; and explore the cross sections between video and the social networking and communication spaces; as well as what the future holds for online video.

In Toronto, we have secured a new social hub - Lobby Restaurant and Bar. Sponsored by the Radio Marketing Bureau (RMB) and Toronto's favourite radio stations, those in the industry now have a place to network and mingle throughout the week.
