The first ever Marketel Breakfast Battle! As part of the initiation process, our freshmen were pitted against each other in a culinary showdown.

There are quite a few new faces around the office, so in an effort to help these new Marketelers get to know everyone (and as a cruelty-free initiation tactic), these eight newbies took part in the first ever Marketel Breakfast Battle! Given just two days to prepare, each freshman had to exercise their culinary creativity and come up with a delicious way to feed the agency for breakfast. Marketelers ate and drank their way around the room, then cast their votes for the tastiest eats and best-looking breakfast station.

The eight challengers pulled out all the stops by cooking, baking, juicing, and even pouring a little liquor into the mix (who doesn’t love a shot of whisky first thing in the morning?). At the end of the challenge, the title of Breakfast Battle Winner was awarded to Genevieve O’Keefe, Digital Project Manager, for her amazing fresh juices at her station aptly named “Dans le Jus.” Hats off to Alexandre Desjardins, Kathleen McCallan, Philippe Giroux, Carmen King, Jason Larocque (who attended via video and had Karim Khatchoyan do his dirty work), Genevieve O’Keefe, Rosalie St-Cyr, Sophie Tarnowska and Julie Carbone for a fabulous breakfast feast!
