Onwards: Publicis Modem
Many of you know that I returned to Toronto last July after a year abroad. My move back to Toronto followed a strong desire to reconnect with a city and culture that has grown on me ever since I moved here in 2004. Shortly after I moved back I became a Canadian citizen, which sealed that sense of belonging. Moreover, I felt that Toronto well positioned me career-wise, and that the opportunities this city brings from many angles in the digital space would only push me further along that continuum.
In my early stage move back to the city I was approached by my former mentor at Critical Mass. Matthew Milan and Jon Tirmandi offered me an opportunity at Normative that was too good to pass up. To work among such top calibre folk, including Lindsay Ellerby, was a no-brainer. So I took the plunge and entered unchartered waters in terms of joining a start-up. The experiences at this start-up were immense and unparalleled in terms of what I have learned and retained as a design thinker. While the experience has been unique, I decided to part ways with the gang so that I can move onto a future opportunity that aligns with me personally and career wise. This decision took place 3 weeks ago. Normally I would have blogged about it right away, however I decided to wait until the next opportunity took shape.
Yesterday I accepted an exciting opportunity as a Digital Strategist at Publicis Modem. As it were, i’m an Ad girl at heart and a multidisciplinary thinker through practice. I’m keen on the opportunity to apply what I have learned at Normative and former digital agencies over to Publicis Modem, as the team grows with more and more top notch clients requesting thought leadership. I’m excited to be joining a team of highly creative and smart individuals, combined with a strong roster of current and prospective clients.
Matthew, Jon, Lindsay - Thank you for the experience.
Dave, Bryan and Scott - I’m thrilled to be joining the team!
