TBWA has been in this building at 10 Lower Spadina for 25 years, and for 25 years, their pirates flag has been waving high out front. But this year, the Turish Embassy has moved into the building... and we came to work after the Christmas break to find our flag had been taken down (and torn in the process *gasp*), and the Turkish flag was up! Big no no for these 25 year tenants. So the building manager promised TBWA a bigger better pole (or just another pole it's kind of fuzzy).
We waited an waited but finally a pole was erected. And as we celebrated the unity and creativity of TBWA/Chiat Day's around the world on Friday afternoon, we all braved the cold to watch out good President Jack raise our brand new, bigger, more colourful flag in a ceremony I'm sure was much better than any Embassy could have thrown.
So much love and culture here... so proud to have been a part of this.
