Toronto, ON, Canada -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/9/2006 -- Cars, furniture, real estate and jobs are just the start. Now, Canadian classifieds site Tradepoint.ca is offering Toronto taxi commuters the chance to get-away to Cuba this winter for free!

Tradepoint.ca has signed on board with digital advertising agencies Synnergy Group Inc. and RT7, and will be involved with Toronto\'s first interactive taxi advertising display system in an innovative original marketing project. Beginning in February 2006, Toronto taxis will play host to interactive advertising media.

Bo Pelech, CEO of Tradepoint.ca comments on this innovative marketing launch. “We are a leading edge interactive online classified site and directory. We are excited about introducing rich media features and functionality, and value added services for our customers and merchant members. Traditional broadcast media doesn\'t cut it; we have an obsession with direct communications that are measurable and trackable from our marketing efforts. We are pleased to be working with Synnergy Group Inc. and RT7 on this innovative new campaign, and expect great success from our efforts.”
