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?

Echoing Zulu and Cossette, plus adding NFA (when they actually had clients).
Zulu
Everyone will say Zulu.
“past 7”. Lol. Do you regularly work until then?

Cossette.
Yeah, but they made that NABS film with a talking cracker who blamed the worker for their declining health from overworking themselves! Cossette can’t be a sweatshop, the workers put it on themselves!
Literally everywhere. The agencies losing business have all the ppl they have left doing way more than usual to keep profit % high. The hotter agencies winning accounts can’t hire fast enough so everyone there doing way more until reinforcements arrive. Kudos to those agencies who at least attempt to give a shit about its ppl and don’t want to be a sweatshop for any prolonged period of time just to make more profits

I agree with this. Most people in most agencies work "overtime" hours. But there are different types of busy.
Personally, I don't mind working the occasional evening and weekend on cool stuff. But a place is truly a sweatshop when you work nights and weekends on the churn work. That is a result of being short staffed to maximize profit or due to incompetent processes.
