More and more companies, whether they actually buy Super Bowl ad time or not, are releasing their ads early, starting social media campaigns or otherwise trying related techniques to get as much attention as possible for their product. One of the best viral videos that wasn’t actually a Super Bowl ad came from Newcastle Brown […]

Good Luck in the Super Bowl @jonryan9 #yqr #sb48

Saskatchewan’s been buzzing for the last couple weeks after the Seattle Seahawks qualified to go the Super Bowl against the Denver Broncos.

Flames’ 2004 Stanley Cup Run vs. #Riders 2013 #GreyCup Run

So this week marks the second time in my life that I’ve been living in a city that’s enjoying a run to the championship by a local professional sports team (the Blue Jays’ World Series victories in 1992 & 1993, though memorable, didn’t quite feel the same.) In 2004, Shea and I were in Calgary […]
