No matter what we learn in school, some of the best professional advice we can receive comes from those on the front lines in the field.

As part of a series of presentations at UQAM, Marketelers from various departments have been giving weekly presentations to students at the École des sciences de la gestion. To wrap up the popular series, our Director of Digital Strategy, Bobby Destounis (who has been very busy lately sharing his wisdom with young fledglings), and Marie-Pierre Blanchette, Digital Art Director, spoke about what their jobs entail and how they conjure up effective, creative, and strategic web projects. They also fielded questions about the paths that led to where they are now.

The presentation series proved to be a huge success, as the feedback both in person and through social media has been phenomenal. Marketel had a blast doing it, and for the students, it has been a very enriching experience. We’re happy to help guide and inspire these marketers, creators, media masters and digital dynamos of tomorrow!

“The students really enjoyed and appreciated having the opportunity to meet with professionals from different areas of the advertising industry. We not only gave them an overview of the different departments and options available to them at an agency the size of ours, but we also gave them inspiration!” says Marc-André Dionne, Client Services Coordinator and organizer of the presentation series.
