In 2010, in an ongoing effort to promote the nutritional credentials of the Wonder bread brand, the company produced a 30-second television commercial referencing the brand's history and the changes in its product lineup.
In 2008 Weston Bakeries Ltd. introduced Canada's first sliced bread with Omega 3 DHA. As part of a multimillion-dollar Canada-wide campaign, Round Table developed television commercials as well as print ads aimed at consumers, dietitians, doctors, and pediatricians.
In the summer of 2007, Scottish & Newcastle ran its first advertising campaign in Canada for the popular British beverage, Strongbow Cider. The campaign included various non-traditional executions of outdoor advertising.
