The Paris Olympics were filled with unforgettable moments and thrilling competitions, but sometimes, the most valuable lessons come from what happens on the court and behind the scenes. 🏐 Kijiji's very own Walid Achour had the opportunity to attend the Games, and amidst all the excitement, he observed a powerful lesson during the Spain vs. France beach volleyball match. The game was intense: 35-degree heat, a roaring crowd, and mounting pressure. Yet, it was the Spanish team's unwavering focus and resilience that stood out. Despite France's projected win, Spain stayed calm, stuck to their plan, and seized their opportunity at just the right moment....landing them the win 2:1! This got us thinking about how these qualities—patience, persistence, and strategic timing—are just as crucial in business as they are in sports. At Kijiji, we know that success isn’t always about acting fast; it’s about knowing when to act. By remaining patient and focused, we can better understand our community’s needs, adapt to market changes, and make impactful decisions when the time is right. Walid’s experience at the Olympics reminds us that staying the course and waiting for the perfect opportunity can lead to extraordinary outcomes. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes, it’s not just about playing the game, but about playing it better every time. We want to know: What did you learn from the Olympics this year that you want to apply to your business goals moving forward? Share with us in the comments below! #Leadership #BusinessStrategy #OlympicLessons #Resilience #Kijiji #StrategicThinking

What an amazing 10+ years it has been partnering with pride & remembrance run Toronto 🏳️🌈 Last month, Kijiji took part in the 28th Annual Pride and Remembrance Run and despite the rain, the crowd sure was excited and off to the races! Our Kijiji volunteers were onsite to make the run as easy-peasy as possible with some branded swag and helpful gear like hats, bandanas, and fanny packs (a big fan favourite!) The sea of purple was amazing to see throughout the crowd. Cheers to all the participants, and thanks to Kijiji's very own Brenda Levitan for spearheading this event! ABOUT PRIDE & REMEMBRANCE RUN Founded in 1996 in Toronto, the 5km run and 3km walk is the largest, long running and most fun pride run in Canada. The Pride and Remembrance Association is a leading not for profit volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting Toronto's LGBTQ+ community.

🎸 From electric to acoustic, our CEO Scott Neil's guitar journey is a perfect example of how Kijiji helps connect people and their passions. Check out this awesome story of trading instruments and finding the perfect sound! Thanks, Adevinta for sharing Scott’s musical adventure. 🎶✨ #KijijiConnections #MusicLovers #CEOStories
It’s often said that things get better with time and this is the case for Scott Neil and his almost-20-year-old acoustic guitar. Scott decided it was time to sell the electric guitar 🎸 he hadn’t played in a year to someone who would appreciate it on Kijiji Canada. But it ended up working out even better, as he connected with a music lover who wanted to trade instruments. “𝘐 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘰𝘭𝘥 𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘨𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘳.

Earlier this year, we embarked on a rewarding paw-tnership with the Toronto Humane Society (THS) and discovered that our values align perfectly in connecting animals in need with loving homes. After exploring tons of different partnership options, we proudly became a formal sponsor of THS's monthly Community Day and Food Bank Program for 2024. This initiative ensures pet owners have the supplies and resources necessary to care for their beloved pets. As sponsors, we’ve contributed $25,000 in sponsorship cash and $50,000 worth of advertising space on the Kijiji platform to bring more awareness to THS! As part of our partnership, today we organized a Team Experience Day at THS. It was great to tour the facility, socialize with adorable animals - including dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, guinea pigs, and rats - and even get a little hands-on time. Our team also helped bag and label cat food and set up supplies for the event. It was an unforgettable day filled with joy and a shared commitment to making a difference for animals and their owners. 🐶🐱❤️
