You want a career in marketing.

You have no experience and nowhere obvious to start. What you do have is hours a day on Instagram and TikTok. That counts for more here than you would think.

A four month, experience based role. Unpaid. Paid work on shoots opens up as soon as you can hold a camera or run a set, and for the right person there is a part time role after it.

What you get into

Social media marketing, start to finish, learned beside a team that does it every week. You shadow at first, then you get your hands on it.

  1. 01

    The idea

    Sit in the creative sessions where the team works out what a client should post, and why.

  2. 02

    The homework

    Study the client's industry. What a padel club, a repair shop or a restaurant needs from a video.

  3. 03

    The set

    Come to the shoots. Watch the idea get filmed, then help run it.

  4. 04

    The camera

    Learn videography from the people who shoot our client work.

  5. 05

    The direction

    Learn how a director keeps a set moving and gets the take out of an actor.

  6. 06

    The client

    See how a client is handled. What gets sent, when, and how feedback is dealt with.

  7. 07

    The numbers

    Read the analytics after it posts. Views, reach, and whether it brought customers through the door.

Then you watch it get made

The ideal person

  • In university

    Any major. Marketing, business, media, or something you are trying to get out of.

  • Can get to Oakville

    Three days a week at HQ, with your own reliable way to get here and to shoots.

  • Shows up

    Punctual, energetic, easy to talk to.

  • Studies the feed

    You doom scroll, and you notice why something worked.

  • Communicates

    Clear over text and clear in a room.

  • Has done something

    A marketing club, a past role, a page you ran. An asset, not a requirement.
