What they say about Quill

Their Story

CAAT Pension Plan is one of Canada’s major pension plan corporations. The organization’s overarching goal is simple: to provide Canadian workplaces with access to secure, sustainable pensions.

Goals & Objectives

The CAAT team approached Quill with the desire to produce a show that would subtly promote defined-benefit pension plans to Canadian business leaders without alienating the general public. They wanted to target CEOs, c-suite executives, and business leaders, in addition to tailoring the content to the everyday person who is aware of their own financial security in Canada.

We produced an interview-style show featuring prominent Canadian leaders that would highlight the incredible contributions people are making every day to move the country forward. Rather than focusing on pensions specifically, they discuss their unique contributions to the Canadian business landscape and share what they do differently as forward-thinkers, which would benefit business leaders as well as appeal to a more general audience.

The result was a show that resonates with business leaders and everyday people across the country. Each episode features an interesting guest who has demonstrated strong leadership skills throughout their career, including Victor Dodig, CEO of CIBC, and Yung Wu, CEO of MaRS Discovery District.
