2021 Winner

In “Welcome to the Flavourhood,” its first work with agency partner John St., DoorDash takes viewers on an animated journey of miniature Canadian neighbourhoods and eateries, including Montreal’s Chinatown, Toronto’s Kensington Market and Vancouver’s Gastown. As a DoorDash courier cycles through “the flavourhood” (as it’s referred to in the spot), foodies can spot local mainstays like Toronto’s Kinton Ramen and original plant-based chain Fresh, Montreal bistro Mandy’s, Vancouver’s Tacofino and Calgary burger joint Flipp’n Burgers.

The spot, animated by BlinkInk, is underscored by a remix of the iconic track “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and finishes with a literal reminder that DoorDash delivers “every neighbourhood in your hands.”
