  • Co-Chair & Judge of IDEA Competition

    First launched in 2020, the IDEA Competition is an initiative seeking world class marketing ideas that represent and involve diverse Canadian communities. We know that the more diverse the minds involved in businesses and communication the more effective they will be. Each year we asked agencies and brands to produce a new campaign with the best entry winning a million dollar media package to bring the ideas to life. Our first year winners were Cheekbone Beauty in support of Indengious communities. While our second year winner was Big Brother Big Sisters, in support of a more inclusive LGBTQ+ hero brand.

    “Congratulations to Cheekbone Beauty and Sid Lee on this well-deserved win, which magnifies the essence of the campaign’s double entendre “Right the Story”. Behind this positive headline is an Indigenous-owned beauty brand that celebrates and supports diversity, inclusion and equity in every aspect of its business,” said Brandon Moonrei.

  • Jesse Ketchum Day at the TSN Studios

    At an executive coaching seminar, I had the privilege of meeting a group of remarkable students from a low-income school. After learning of their longing for experiences they felt were out of reach, I decided to act. With the support of my business partners, I orchestrated a day filled with unforgettable moments. We began by immersing them in the world of media at the TSN studios, where they got a glimpse of potential future careers. Tim Hortons provided a delightful breakfast and snacks, and meeting CFL players further fueled their excitement. Lunch featured a meal prep demonstration by Kraft Heinz's executive head chef. And the afternoon was spent skating at a local rink, complete with rentals and surprise visits from MLSE personalities. The day culminated with loot bags brimming with gifts from partners like the NBA. Witnessing the sheer joy and gratitude on the students' faces made it undeniably the most fulfilling day of my professional journey.

In the News

  • Brandon Moonrei, director of strategic sales and partnerships with TSN, said creating a wide array of content was key to appeasing that demographic. “They want to see fresh content, they don’t want to be inundated with the same spots all summer long.” The live broadcast of the 2016 games reached more than one million viewers, with 14.1 million online views and 132 million digital impressions.

  • “Warner Bros. briefed us and said they wanted to do something with Batman, and we wanted to come to the table with something a little deeper and more integrated, something that had never been done before with a movie client like this,” says Brandon Moonrei, director, strategic sales and partnerships, sports at Bell Media.

  • Kevin Keane (Brainsights) and Brandon Moonrei (Bell Media) used the term 'screenesthesia' to talk about the mistake made in treating all screens as equal, without taking size into account. Clearly, seeing an ad on a large TV screen does not have the same impact as seeing it on our e-body screen.

  • “Leveraging our TV data through Bell DSP alongside the capabilities of MiQ, allows for more sophisticated buying than ever before,” said Brandon Moonrei, Director, DSP Partnerships & Client Strategy, Bell Media. “The needs of TV buyers are becoming increasingly complex, and strategic partnerships like this one with MiQ ensure we are collectively able to meet those demands”.

  • Bell Media is a long-standing ally of the LGBTQ+ community, and this year’s focus could not be more aligned with our company’s values said Brandon Moonrei, Director, DSP Partnerships & Client Strategy, Bell Media. After seeing the amazingly diverse and inclusive talent of Canadian brands and advertisers in last year’s competition, we are excited to see and showcase the stories that this year’s entries will bring.

  • “As the future of ad buying becomes digitized and more programmatic, Bell Media is offering solutions across the whole sphere for every Canadian advertiser,” said Brandon Moonrei, Director, DSP Partnerships & Client Strategy, Bell Media. “With the combination of our platforms and the expertise of our talent, we can transform the programmatic landscape. We’re excited for this partnership and look forward to working closely with the team at MiQ.”

  • “Big Brothers Big Sisters’ winning proposal showed creative excellence and ingenuity, in addition to a boldness to lead the way in inclusive branding and storytelling,” says Brandon Moonrei, director, DSP partnerships and client strategy, Bell Media. “We will now work closely with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Humanity to develop an impactful media plan leveraging our full suite of platforms including TV, digital, out of home and radio.”

  • Coors Side Seats will be a interview segment where guests sit in Coors Light-branded seats that “transform the set to simulate the premium access that Coors Light offers their fans to sporting events around the country,” said to Brandon Moonrei, director of strategic sales and partnerships at TSN.

  • "As Canada’s leading out-of-home media company, PATTISON leverages decades of expertise in media innovation and flawless execution. Through this partnership, both organizations are dedicated to redefining the passenger experience and cementing Pearson’s position as a premier global media destination. "
