CanadA's Marketing Hall of Legends

Celebrating Visionary Leadership & Lifetime Achievement

About Canada's Marketing Hall of Legends

Canada’s Marketing Hall of Legends honours Canadians who have dedicated their professional lives to pursuing excellence in marketing. It’s our industry’s preeminent award celebrating visionary leadership and lifetime achievement. 

Created by AMA Toronto over 20 years ago, Canada’s Marketing Hall of Legends recognizes the most inspiring creatives, enablers, builders and mentors who’ve had a tremendous impact on marketing throughout their careers. 

With an inclusive focus on all sectors of the industry, the Legend Award proudly reflects a mosaic of marketing talent from coast to coast. Becoming a Marketing Legend is a once-in-a-lifetime, one-of-a-kind achievement. Only a handful Legends are named each year, making the honour a highly-coveted mark of distinction.

Nominations for induction into Canada’s Marketing Hall of Legends are held annually each fall. Inductees are carefully chosen by a selection committee made up of a distinguished, diverse group of marketing experts that includes past inductees, journalists, media, association heads, and brand and agency leaders. 

With the aim of empowering new leadership within the marketing community, Canada’s Marketing Hall of Legends and AMA Toronto’s year-long Legends Program help the marketing community share knowledge and promote business excellence.
