What a way to celebrate my birthday! The Vote Jano campaign was a success. I was admitted into HEC’s DESS Marketing Communication graduate program. I would like to send a big THANK YOU to everyone that participated in the campaign, sent me words of encouragement and to Dailywom.tv, Infopresse and Marketing Magazine for covering it.

See you this Fall.

Marketing Magazine has immortalized “Vote Jano” by publishing an article on the campaign in their current issue (May 28, 2007). Once again thanks to everyone who has made this possible and contributed to this “phenomenon”. I should be receiving my answer in the coming weeks, I will keep you all posted. Keep those support pics and emails coming.

Johanne Ste-Marie, director at Fluorescent Hill, is the latest supporter of the Vote Jano campaign. If you are not familiar with Fluorescent Hill, be sure to check out some of their work at www.fluorescenthill.com. It’s great to see them pushing the envelope in animation and design.

Thanks Fluorescent Hill for your vote.

Geneviève Piquette, president of Vlan Communication, sent me some kind words and a picture to support my campaign for a higher learning.

Thanks Geneviève and all your team at Vlan Communication. Keep those votes coming.

Infopresse published an article on their website yesterday about the “Vote Jano” campaign. This is really exciting since Infopresse is the reference to all that is marketing and advertising related in Quebec and Canada. Word is really starting to spread now. Thanks to everyone who has sent me words of encouragement and contributed to the campaign; the response has been overwhelming.

Thank you Patrick Bellerose for a well written article.

Thanks guys for the support!

The creative mind behind the award winning Gazette ad campaign, Gaëtan Namouric, Creative Director at Bleublancrouge, sent me this picture today along with his vote. Thank you Gaëtan and all your team for encouraging me.

I received this email from Marco Cibola at Nove Studio and thought it was simply amazing:

“I wanted to find a convincing way to show that “I vote Jano”, so travelled aaalllll the way to a place where they have elephants just so I could take this picture. I climbed up on that elephant and once I was on top, I voted as hard as I could.”

Thank you Marco for your vote. This is a great example of Marco’s creativity and sense of humour.

AMEN president, Carl Grenier, sent me a very motivating email today with this great picture. AMEN is the latest agency to congratulate the initiative and show its support. Thank you all so far for taking time out of your busy schedules and encouraging me in my endeavours.
