Ford Canada Steers F-150 Ad into Twitter First View
The 2017 F-150 Ford Raptor is intended to offer a lot more space for gear and legroom, so perhaps it’s fitting that Ford decided to take up some more space of its own by becoming the launch advertiser for the debut of Twitter’s First View offering in Canada
Mindshare: Culture Vulture with Brooke Robinson
Watching or Being Watched
It’s no secret that live streaming has grown a lot the last couple years. In fact, not only are people watching streams from around the world, but now they can do so from outer-space. The website Slooh is using a robotic telescope to stream live feeds of meteor showers and other sky-high action. It lets you watch a star-studded show from the comfort of your own device.

Mindshare: Culture Vulture with Brooke Robinson
A slow walk down the aisle

#BeatMS
A devastating illness that hides in plain sight and tries to knock down thousands of Canadians each year. I was one of a handful of people that qualified for a life-saving stem cell transplant.
SURVIVING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY
By Dave Yasvinski for Tangerine Bank
Life changed dramatically for my wife and I when we were celebrating the engagement of close friends four years ago. Brooke had been experiencing some strange medical symptoms in recent months – incontinence and poor balance – that should not be troubling a 30-year-old woman. Still, we weren't prepared for what would come next.
STEM CELL TRANSPLANT FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Paying it forward. Happy to talk.
“If I ever write a book, it’s going to be called Unapologetic because that is what MS has taught me to be,” Brooke Robinson says. “I don’t need to apologize because I rushed out of a meeting to go to the bathroom. If it takes me forever to get down the stairs, then so be it. This is my life now.”
DIAGNOSED WITH MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
Inspiring Toronto Millenial Tackles MS
Up until a few years ago, 32-year-old Brooke Robinson was just like any other millennial living her life to the fullest.
She had done a lot before the age of 30: graduated from UWO, backpacked through Europe solo, completed a post-grad in public relations at Humber College finding an internship in Australia, then worked at Sunlife and itravel2000 in Toronto. She then moved on to be Director of Paid Social Strategy at Mindshare Canada.
