The 2026 edition of the WJ Signature Stampede Bandana has officially arrived, and we're excited to see it out and about all across Stampede once again.

Designed by our longtime illustrator, Maria Dagh, this year's bandana features original artwork inspired by Calgary, its landscapes, and the unmistakable energy of Stampede.

"This bandana was designed to feel both collectible and illustrative, something that could be framed just as easily as it could be worn," says Maria. "Using WJ's bold line illustration and layered storytelling style, the artwork captures the spirit, spectacle, and iconic moments of Stampede through one richly detailed composition."

Over the years, our annual bandanas have become something of a collector's item, and it's always a thrill to spot past editions being worn throughout the city each Stampede season.

If you're a WJ client, you'll receive a 2026 bandana as part of this year's Stampede celebrations. And if you spot the WJ team out and about during Stampede, come say hello. We'll have a limited number of bandanas with us to hand out while supplies last.

If you pick one up, be sure to snap a photo, share it on social media, and tag us. Whether you're sporting the 2026 edition or showing off one from years past, you'll be entered into our July 13 prize draw.

Two winners will receive a bottle of w**e and a marketing book, while one grand prize winner will take home a WJ Marketing Workshop to help lasso their next big opportunity.

Happy Stampede, and we'll see you out on the trail!

For many Albertans, healthcare accessibility isn’t something they think about until they have to. But for health foundations across the province, it’s top of mind every single day.

Last Friday, WJ Agency had the privilege of being the keynote speaker at the annual Philanthropic Leadership Forum hosted by Alberta Health Services, an event that brings together foundation and healthcare leaders from across the province to connect, learn, and strengthen the partnerships that make real impact possible.

Our team left the event reminded of the power of partnership and inspired by the shared commitment to ensuring world-class healthcare is not a privilege, but a promise.

If asked what word comes to mind when you hear 'Taylor,' it's likely 'Swift.'

But whether you're a 'Swifty' or not, odds are you've seen the artist pop up on your feed multiple times a week. Her influence on fans, pop culture, and brands is unparalleled, which is why her relationship with The Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce has made a significant impact on NFL marketing. In fact, this caused Kelce's jersey sales to increase by nearly 400% (talk about an effective Love Story!)

Our CEO, Ryan Townend, dives into Taylor's brand and marketing on our latest Global News segment.
