Complex Canada recently launched a new digital series dubbed 'Hidden Gems' that was produced in partnership with [Appleton Estate® Jamaican Rum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hearts-collection-1998). The new four-part series celebrates Jamaican excellence in Canada by spotlighting some of the country's most established trailblazers and up-in-coming talent in music, style, and visual arts.

To kick off the Hidden Gems series, the brand will launch "a 360-degree marketing strategy amplified by Corus' powerful megaphone of assets." The series will also be available on linear TV in a new Complex-branded programming block on Global, [Food Network Canada](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baker-baker-and-cadbury), and [National Geographic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jamaican-mango-lime) from September 2 – 5. The series will also be promoted through Complex Canada's social media platforms with static images, episode teasers, and more.
