“from guidance to finances – the<br />
help was there”<br />
by Matthew Cormier<br />
Advertising<br />
Account Co-ordinator, MacLaren McCann, Toronto, Ontario<br />
From the moment I set foot on the<br />
<strong>Loyalist</strong> Campus, I was at home. There<br />
was not a single person that wasn’t<br />
willing and ready to help with anything I<br />
needed - from guidance to finances - the<br />
help was there.<br />
I was fortunate to begin my fast-paced<br />
career at MacLaren McCann/CSG with<br />
General Motors Canada as my client. I am<br />
challenged daily with a variety of tasks<br />
and projects, each one as unique as the<br />
next. This position is highly rewarding in<br />
many ways both socially and<br />
professionally. With the ever-evolving<br />
industry constantly picking up pace, the<br />
challenge of tight time lines, heavy<br />
project loads and fast-paced industry<br />
keeps me on my toes. It is a great feeling<br />
to work on a team that is constantly<br />
striving to stay ahead of the game and<br />
ultimately sell more of our client’s<br />
products.<br />
My fondest memories of my time at<br />
<strong>Loyalist</strong> would have to be the people first<br />
and foremost, and that includes program<br />
faculty members, Student Government,<br />
Board of Governors and all of the great<br />
staff who helped me along the way. I was<br />
very involved in Student Government and<br />
Board of Governors, a move that I would<br />
highly recommend to anyone. There are<br />
so many reasons why this experience<br />
was great but simply put, you meet<br />
people, work with bands and<br />
entertainment, and you learn skills in<br />
addition to your day-to-day classes.<br />
<strong>Loyalist</strong> became a home to me over my<br />
four years and was truly the best foundation<br />
for a successful career in the advertising<br />
and integrated marketing industry.<br />
