Something fun to do with all that spare time you currently have.

If I was still a copywriter I’d sooo want to work for an agency that wrote a recruitment ad like this. Also, if you haven’t joined the Toronto Ad Jobs & Networking group yet, you really are missing out on a powerful resource for students of advertising.

This week I had the Breaking Bad RV as my Zoom backdrop. Then I noticed that Kiera also had it. "Hey Kiera," I said, "how weird that you and I both have the same backdrop. You like Breaking Bad, too?" Until somebody else said, "Um, hey Jake, look around."

As the third years finalize their fieldwork placements, we want to give a shout out to our first Fieldwork Host to secure a student. Congrats and thanks to Carl Rudnik and Acorn Digital Strategy (AcornStrategy dot ca)! Carl is an alumni. Let's celebrate Carl in this throw-back picture when he was a student working a Valentine's Day event on campus. Yes, sometimes Facebook Memories do unearth diamonds like these. (Photo posted with Carl's approval as he's also a gem.) Thanks to all the alumni that continue to support the program. The industry, the students, and the professors' lives benefit from your brilliance.

How I feel about ageism in advertising, dagnabit!! Thanks to Adam in third year for the share.
