Good food, great company, and a piñata? That’s our kind of team lunch. 🌮🎉 We had a great time celebrating Cinco de Mayo together at the office last week!

Take a Walk in the Park Day! Spring reset with the team 🌿 Walks > meetings today!

A little break from the day-to-day for something a bit more fun. We welcomed a very special (and very soft) guest to the office and kept the tradition alive with our annual Easter egg hunt. Safe to say, the competition was real. Moments like these bring the team together in the best way. Hope everyone had a great long weekend! 🐇🥚

Last week we took a break from the day-to-day and spent Employee Appreciation Day together at Bad Axe Throwing. It was a reminder of just how great our team truly is. From the first practice throw to the final round of competition, the room was full of energy, laughs, and plenty of team spirit. What makes Influence Marketing special is not just the work we do, but the people behind it. Talented, supportive, and always ready to show up for one another. 🪓🎯

Super Bowl weekend never tasted so good. For the big game, we marched Nerds Gummy Clusters straight down the field and into CF Toronto Eaton Centre for a full-on Gummy Gameday takeover. What started out as a branded footprint quickly turned into an epic fan zone in the heart of downtown. Our all-star XM team worked through the night to build a larger-than-life gridiron where the next generation of quarterbacks could step in to make the big play. And Toronto showed up. Big time. Every throw and pass completed, delivered serious brand buzz. We handed out thousands of bags of Nerds Gummy Clusters including Rainbow and Berry, plus exclusive prizing that kept fans in the game long after they left the field. Meanwhile, the Nerds mascot worked the sidelines like a seasoned pro, hyping the crowd and jumping into MVP-level photo ops. From strategy to sampling, this was XM excellence executed play by play. Keep an eye out for the highlight video, already in the works. Huge shout out to our great team who huddled early, stayed late, and drove this activation straight into the end zone.

Last week’s Super Bowl potluck was a reminder that the best part of any team isn’t just what we accomplish together. It’s the time we take to connect. From homemade favourites to game-day classics (and a little McDonald's too!) the Influence gang really brought the party. Grateful for good food, great company, and a workplace that knows how to show up for each other, on and off the field!

[from Influence News] 150 Years of The Toronto Golf Club Before there was a mark, there was a story. We spoke with Chris Wilson about how uncovering and honouring The Toronto Golf Club’s 150‑year history shaped every decision that followed, from creative direction to the physical experiences members encounter today. #InfluenceMarketing #Livestyle

Here’s to what we’ve built together—and what’s still ahead.
