		FTP Security October 29, 2008 Digital communication between a corporation and its agencies is essential for sharing strategy, concepts, timelines, proofs and even final work. Recently, concerns have been raised by a number of corporations about just how secure some "secure" sites really are. We’ve all heard reports about companies whose former employees and associates have accessed file repositories full of sensitive information, long after they have left their respective organizations. A common reason for this happening is the practice of many agencies to use FTP (File Transfer Protocol) systems to share large files between themselves, their clients and suppliers.

		McLellan Group June 19, 2008 McLellan Group is pleased to announce that we have moved into our new office space, located in Toronto's Historic Distillery District. Over our 20-year history, we have called several places "home". In the late eighties we resided at St. Nicholas Street in the Yonge & Wellesley area, which in just a few quick months, unfortunately became known as "The Murder District". From there we moved in 1991 to Spadina Avenue's “Fashion District”, where we remained until a potent mixture of sub-zero temperatures and an uninsulated sprinkler pipe sent us packing. So why now the Distillery Distict? Well, with a good Gaelic name like McLellan Group, we felt a stronger kinship with a building that once produced whisky than one that once produced overcoats. Our new offices are on the second floor of what was once known as "The Smoke House" in the Gooderham and Worts Distillery complex, a building constructed in 1863. This is where they would hang the freshly harvested bottles of whisky from the rafters and fill the rooms with smoke, similar to the method used to cure tobacco. This is what would give the whisky its distinctive smoky flavour. (At least we're pretty sure that's the way it worked.) Back to top

		McLellan Group helps “Jays Care” tell their story June 11, 2008 The Toronto Blue Jays foundation, Jays Care, ensures that children who are in need, have the opportunity to make positive choices in life. Jays Care does this by supporting numerous programs that provide physical activity, education and life-skill development. Jays Care asked us to help tell their story in an effective and compelling way. The video we produced was part of the big screen messaging at the fundraising gala held at the ROM. It will now be integrated into their website and repositioned for the Jumbotron at Rogers Centre. Many thanks to the kids from Rookie League and Hospital for Sick Children as well as the Blue Jays players for making this a success. Back to top
