We started the WCCA on a feeling that the advertising and design industry of the West Coast was under-served at home, and under-represented on the world stage. The Coasties is an opportunity to correct that, by honouring the incredibly diverse and different creative work that comes out of the agencies, studios, production companies, in-house teams and freelance brains of BC.

Thank you to our sponsors for believing in our vision and helping bring it to life. Thank you to the Vancouver creative community for trusting us with the first ad show in ten years, and joining us in celebrating the work. 

We’ve got big plans for 2026, so stay tuned!

Love,
Heleena, Eric, & Erin
