Green Olympian, Red Canadian
Posted by Mark Harrison in TrojanOne on February 24th, 2010
Being a rookie Olympic visitor I am somewhat concerned that there isn’t much I can put into this blog you haven’t read twenty times over. But in the midst of an 11-day visit to the Games, I will do my best to describe my introduction to the Olympic spirit.
The spirit is everywhere and it is like nothing I have ever felt before. Not during a Final Four or Super Bowl or Wimbledon. While I’m not the most traveled person in the world, I have attended all of those events live. I used to think the Final Four had the most amazing sports atmosphere. It is amazing, but the scale of the Olympics is on another dimension. Read the rest of this entry »
Seeing is Believing

I didn’t pretend to know who Brian McKeever is, until recently.
In fact, my exposure to Paralympians really only began a few years ago when we started planning to have the 2010 Canadian Sponsorship Forum in Whistler, during the Games. Read the rest of this entry »

Resolutions to Last a Decade
Posted by Mark Harrison in TrojanOne on January 13th, 2010
Turns out I was wrong. I gave everybody a rousing speech about having an amazing decade, and it’s not even the start of the new decade. Seems the decade starts with “1”. Like “2011”. Hmmm… that’s pretty embarrassing. Read the rest of this entry »

Gibson’s Finest Fan Competition
Posted by Matt Harpur in TrojanOne on December 22nd, 2009
This year I had the privilege of working with our clients at Gibson’s Finest Canadian Whisky. As part of Gibson’s Finest Canadian Football League sponsorship, which includes, the CFL Player Awards, CFL Players of the Week and Players of the Month (both in the categories of Offensive, Defensive, Special Teams and Canadian player recognition); Gibson’s Finest also activated the Gibson’s Finest Fan Competition to support this sponsorship. The Gibson’s Finest Fan Competition was where TrojanOne’s role came into play.
The Gibson’s Finest Fan Competition was the search for the ultimate CFL fan. This crowned ultimate fan represented their team at the 97th Grey Cup in Calgary, 2009! This year the Grand Prize winner and Gibson’s Finest Fan was Jayson Wall of Winnipeg MB! Jayson beat out 32 other finalists who submitted entries (4 finalists from each CFL team) by receiving the highest number of votes to become the Gibson’s Finest Fan. Read the rest of this entry »
Party like its 1999!

What a weird December.
The Leafs are winning. The Steelers are flailing. Tiger’s “Woods” are finding the sweet spot…in more ways than one.
It’s been a weird year. Twelve months ago the sky was falling. Today? Never been busier. Never. Read the rest of this entry »
Lead On!
Posted by Mark Harrison in TrojanOne on November 20th, 2009
Nine hundred members of the Canadian sports community invaded Vancouver last week for the Petro-Canada Sport Leadership Conference, put on by the Coaching Association of Canada.
The purpose of the conference is to support the development of Canada as a leading sports nation. It is a collaboration of the major sports organizations in this country and supported by blue chip sponsors. The conference was sold right out; a credit to the event quality the CAC has produced the past few years, buffeted by the energy of 2010. Read the rest of this entry »
A Nation's Thanks
Posted by Mark Harrison in TrojanOne on November 20th, 2009
Last week I went on a short but poignant field trip with my six year-old and a few of his Cub pack mates.
Since they were heading downtown, I decided to help the pack leaders keep track of these rascals, given they were going to travel by subway. Turns out they really didn’t need me. Attendance was down due to the variety of ills flying around. I was short one myself, my older cub home battling a withering flu. But if you believe in all things happen for a reason, this might have been one of those nights. Read the rest of this entry »
