Student Intern
Everything went really well at [my placement]! I definitely learned a lot in my time there and completing the internship helped me to get a marketing job. I would definitely suggest doing an internship…to anyone who is interested in getting into the industry. Thank you for helping me get the internship!
Director of Strategy, Marketing Firm
I LOVE [our intern]. He’s smart, proactive, is confident and is everything I would look for in an employee. He just presented a research document (which he prepared) to the entire senior [client] team. He did a fantastic job. I would definitely want to hire someone from the Canada’s Next Top Ad Exec program if there were any others like [him]!
Account Supervisor, Advertising Agency
Overall, they have been a pleasure to work with and have added valuable thinking to our client's business.
CEO, Integrated Marketing Agency
Finding agency roles in today’s job market can be extraordinarily challenging for students, and having seen the difference between juniors fresh out of school with even four months of hands-on industry knowledge versus those without any certainly makes the case for programs like yours. It is of great benefit to our ever-hectic industry to help young professionals in transitioning into their careers as smoothly as possible, and we are absolutely thrilled to have been a part of it through Canada’s Next Top Ad Exec!
