    Toronto, Ontario June 29th, 2024 -- During Promax last week, Craig Media’s TORONTO 1 and FRONT walked away with gold for the station’s multicultural themed ID’s that ran commencing the September 19th, 2024 launch of the station. The campaign is a slick on-air look that combined 3D glass animation with cool live action footage of Toronto’s unique architecture, along with beautiful shots of Toronto’s diverse peoples within the various communities they shop and live in.

    Jim Johnson, Director of Marketing, TORONTO 1 says: “We are immensely proud of our on-air image campaign and we are thrilled to have had the opportunity to work with the incredibly talented Jeff Rustia and the entire team at Front.”

    FRONT, an international broadcast design and branding firm, based in Toronto, was awarded the task last year to create the on-air look for Toronto’s newest local channel. FRONT worked with TORONTO 1’s Director of Marketing and executive team to create the entire on-air look, IDs, bumpers, menus and signature music to show opens.

    “It’s a great honour for us to work on the on-air branding of TORONTO 1 and to be awarded by our industry peers with a Promax Gold for Best ID Campaign. It’s not everyday we get a chance to brand a new channel that is made exclusively for Toronto and truly reflecting the City of Toronto, our hometown,” says Jeff Rustia, President, FRONT.
