Celebrating the best in Canadian Country Music, Country Music Week is an annual event planned by the Canadian Country Music Association. Hosted by a different Canadian city each year, the week culminates with the CCMA Awards live television broadcast. In collaboration with the CCMA and CBC Music, Innovate By Day created and executed a multi-faceted digital and social media campaign for the 2017 CCMA Awards, driving fan engagement with Country Music Week in Saskatoon, SK, and tune-in to the broadcast on CBC.

Innovate By Day created a digital engagement campaign that highlighted the best and brightest in Canadian Country Music and offered fans unprecedented access to Country Music Week through the eyes of Ultimate Fan Experience winner Scott Sykes, who also presented the Apple Music Fan’s Choice award during the live broadcast alongside international superstar Blake Shelton..

In addition to running the CCMA social media platforms from nomination day until the Awards broadcast, we engaged audience members with the Apple Music Fan’s Choice Award and the Ultimate Fan Experience Competition, and produced The CCMA Awards Preshow presented by CBC Music -- a multi-camera 90-minute pre-show live from the John Deere Green Carpet. Our team created three new digital video series and generated on-the-ground Country Music Week live event coverage.
