Canadian Television Sales Announces Name & Address Change, Updated Logo & Website

Canadian Television Sales, the largest U.S. representative of Canadian media properties, has announced that effective today, the company will change its name to Canadian Media Sales (CMS). The rebranding more accurately reflects the companys diverse portfolio, which includes radio, digital and mobile offerings in addition to television. Canadian Media Sales also has an updated corporate logo and website (http://www.canmediasales.com).

Our new name, Canadian Media Sales, gives agencies an instant understanding of everything we have to offer, says Michael Custardo, CMS president. When we first started this company over 15 years ago, we focused entirely on television. Since then, media buys have expanded to include cross-platform solutions with radio, digital and mobile components. Weve been fortunate to grow with these industries, and have become a one-stop shop for U.S. media buyers looking to advertise in Canada.

Canadian Television Sales was created in 1997 in response to the increasing number of requests from U.S. advertising agencies looking to incorporate Canadian television into their upcoming media campaigns. The company expanded its portfolio to include Canadian radio properties in 1999, and started its online division in 2009. Over the past two years, CTS added seven mobile applications to its portfolio, which have seen tremendous success and consistently rank in the Apple Stores top apps. Canadian Media Sales representatives will continue to work with agencies to create media-specific packages or cross-platform buys across all types of media.

As CMSs media portfolio has grown, so has the staff. The company is relocating to a larger office space in New York as of October 1, 2012. The address of the new location is 545 Fifth Avenue, Suite 315, New York, NY 10017.

U.S. agencies interested in advertising in Canada should contact Canadian Media Sales at 212-967-1999 or visit http://www.canmediasales.com for more information.

Shamita Shetty and Harman Baweja dating – Shilpa wants their marriage

Mumbai: Shamita Shetty and Harman Baweja have been dating each other since quite some time but now the rumors have started making the rounds of the media. The sources too have now made it confirm that the couple is in love and the dating has been going on. Shamita, the younger sister of Shilpa Shetty and Bollywood actress, has left movies few years back to pursue her career in interior designing. She knew that she could not make it big in acting as she was not a classy actress. She worked hard and tried her level best but slipping into film career being a worthy actress was not on her cards. Thus she took a good decision to leave the films and start a new career of interior designing. She has been doing great as an interior designer since she uses her Bollywood contacts and her Bollywood status fully and in return, business gets full boom.

Harman Baweja, who previously dated Priyanka Chopra, met Priyanka on the sets of his debut film ‘Love Story 2050’ which badly bombed at the box office. They started dating while the shooting of the film was going on. Post the film’s release, they parted their way. Harman too is the one actor who is now off to the movies. He did a few movies and all got flopped badly at the box office.

Harman and Shamita met each other when Shilpa Shetty’s production signed him for the film. From then the couple has been dating. Shilpa is quite happy with Shamita’s love with Harman and she wants that the younger sis too gets married soon and starts living a happy married life. Well, lets wait and see if Harman proves to be a loving hubby like Raj Kundra since he apparently does not seem to be the one who is presently interested in marriage.
