Toronto ad fish 🤠 I’ve spent most of my career working as a copywriter in London (6 years here, 2 years Toronto) and the market is pretty different here. I’m planning on moving back home but wondered….how do you find work in Toronto? Agencies barely post openings, is the recruiter scene strong? Is it mostly who you know?
Still waiting for the Heinz soup response
Most sweatshop agencies?
How's it like at Anomaly?

I applied for something there a few months ago on the day the role was posted. Took my time to craft a thoughtful cover letter and everything, only for them to just take the job posting down about an hour after I submitted. Meaning, the role was posted and taken down, same day. Seems a bit disorganized and in my particular case, not very respectful of applicants’ time.
Apart from that, I interviewed there a few years ago and remember the senior creative I met with being really fired up about a novel Kraft Dinner box design they’d just turned around in like 48 hours in response to a Tweet by Justin Bieber. So it seemed at the time like they were really doing God’s work LOL. Not sure if that sort of stuff’s still their bread and butter.
Damn, that would super annoying!
That’s why I’m asking about this role. Like, I don’t want to put in the effort to do a proper application if this ain’t real or I have no chance of being considered.
I also had a job put on hold while talking to them.
Went through much the same thing. My assumption was that it was being affected by the Kraft Heinz merger chaos.
Makes me feel a lot better to hear that it wasn't just me.
