Say Media - Fueled by Passion, Powered by Canon

Say Media worked with Mediacom and Canon to craft a truly unique and compelling campaign that helped consumers reach both of these goals, from selection to shooting, by creating awareness of Canon products and educating consumers about how to best use their new equipment. Say Media tapped four design-savvy brands that rely heavily on photography to tell their digital stories. Ben Bowers and Eric Yang of Gear Patrol tap into a discerning male audience; Joy Wilson of Joy the Baker has a unique following of sophisticated foodies; Naomi Davis of Love Taza reaches parents who want to capture and share their family's special moments; and Elsie Larson and Emma Chapman of A Beautiful Mess are a favorite of source of inspiration for women who love fashion and décor.

Winners will be announced on September 19 in New York City. You can read more about the campaign and experience the custom content and video here.

Congrats to the editorial and advertising teams on a great collaboration – and congrats to all the other finalists!
