The Desjardins industry spotlight series with creative agencies: Panel & networking event

Target Students: Undergraduate and graduate students in Communications, Journalism & Graphic Design

"Fast-paced, creatively charged, and full of energy" - that's how most would describe typical creative agency jobs.

The world's top agencies thrive on innovation and creativity. Land a role in one and you'll rapidly accelerate your learning, pick up new skills, and work with some of the world's biggest brands.

But how do you go about finding a job at a creative agency? What is agency life like? What do top agencies look for in their hires?

Attend the Industry Spotlight with Creative Agencies panel event where senior leaders from companies such as A2C, Sid Lee & Rethink will answer these questions and provide tips and tricks for landing your first creative agency job. More agencies to be confirmed shortly!
