Tax season—it’s that time of year again when the daunting task of filing taxes looms over us like a dark cloud. But what if tax season could be a little less stressful and even, dare I say it, enjoyable? Thanks to Toronto’s creative agency Feast, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is injecting a dose of humor and relatability into tax season with their latest advertising campaign, ‘Silver Linings.’
Picture this: you’re sitting at your desk, surrounded by piles of receipts and forms, feeling overwhelmed by the thought of tackling your taxes. Enter ‘Silver Linings,’ the brainchild of Feast agency, aimed at bringing a smile to taxpayers’ faces amidst the chaos of tax season.
So, what exactly is ‘Silver Linings’ all about? It’s about finding the humor and positivity in the often stressful process of doing your taxes. Through clever storytelling and witty humor, Feast has managed to turn a mundane task into an opportunity for laughter and connection.
The campaign, which launched in March 2024, is the result of collaboration between Feast and the Canada Revenue Agency. Designed to resonate with taxpayers across Canada, ‘Silver Linings’ offers a fresh perspective on tax season, highlighting the lighter side of an otherwise serious topic.
But how exactly does Feast infuse humor into tax-related content? It’s all about finding those relatable moments that make us chuckle amidst the paperwork and calculations.

From quirky characters to witty one-liners, the campaign captures the essence of tax season with a playful twist. And while the primary goal is to entertain and engage taxpayers, ‘Silver Linings’ also serves a practical purpose by demystifying the tax-filing process and encouraging Canadians to get their taxes done on time.
