  • QR Code Marketing Hits Canada

    According to an article on Media in Canada, via Mobile Kawya, states; “QR technology has been incredibly successful for marketers in Japan and we expect similar success in Canada,” Michael Gramlow, CD interactive at Dentsu Canada, tells MiC. “It’s a great way to connect with a youth target that’s notoriously difficult to reach - not just because it offers something new and different for them to interact with, but also because it generates a lot of street buzz.” The four-week campaign, which ends on July 15, involves the wild posting of 1,100 posters on construction boards and within frames on office buildings.

    The target demographic is “youthful-minded individuals who are actively seeking more freedom in their lives, pursuing opportunities to spread their wings. They have a passion for riding/driving and they are willing to pay more for style and comfort, and tend to be non-traditional early adopters,” explains Sue Kuruvilla, PR director for Vespa distributor Canadian Scooter.

    He adds that the wild postings now hitting Toronto streets are “a pioneering effort in North America, and Dentsu and Vespa are very proud to be the first to bring it to the Canadian market.”
