The Trans-Canada Advertising Agency Network, or T-CAAN, is an association of 28 independent Canadian advertising agencies. The oldest and largest agency network in the country, it was founded in 1963 by seven member organizations.
Contents
The geographic range and various technical and market expertise of T-CAAN-member agencies enable them to assist each other when specific client needs arise. T-CAAN also serves as a forum for member agencies to share ideas and best practices. It has close ties with similar groups in the U.S., the U.K., Japan, Jamaica, Europe and Hong Kong.
Membership
To join T-CAAN, an advertising agency must be sponsored by a current member agency and elected by the membership at-large based on their “experience, expertise, security, integrity and community service.” Membership also has a regional basis, with all provinces and territories and most major Canadian cities represented in T-CAAN.
