Some called 2013 the year of digital, and they wouldn’t be wrong. We saw this reflected in the creation of the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAAC), concerns with video-on-demand (VOD), the Canadian debut of ComScore’s comprehensive online measurement system, and most recently, the new anti-spam legislation (CASL).

Digital or not, it’s been an interesting year for marketing in Canada – in fact, the future is looking bright according to Canadian marketers. Here, then, is ACA’s look back at some of 2013’s most memorable headlines.
