Bensimon-Byrne, a Toronto agency working on Molson, Scotia Bank and Ottawa Renegades, among other accounts, have hired Brendan Watson and Jana Ranjitkumar as a creative team.

Brendan says, “Getting a job in advertising is the combination of hard work, thick skin, persistence, timing and being a generally good person with a great book. Doing things like ‘personalized follow-ups and stunts’ will help your passion and enthusiasm get noticed, but will not replace any of the requirements listed above. David sure did enjoy the cookie (I think he ate the entire thing that morning), but we must remain conscious of the fact that if our book wasn’t where it needed to be, Jana and I would not be sitting where we are today.”
