the CP+B thing was pretty random. When i was broke, post my Sudan trip, i made $1,400 on a freelance website, felt rich and booked a flight to Vancouver, BC.
I went and stayed with one of my best buds from home. He was in grad school and living in an RV at the time. I was there for almost a month with $1,000 left in my bank account.
While he was in class, i roamed the city looking for freelance work, but mainly just toured studios and shook hands with people, asking advice on my book etc.
I landed at Burnkit http://burnkit.com/ and had a sit down chat with head man Josh Dunford. He basically gave me a list of big agencies with big clients and told me to shoot for an internship, or entry level gig.
CP+B was on that list. So I took his advice, filled out several applications made a silly video. Aside from making myself look like a pompous asshole, they dug the vid and I got 1 of 2 spots for their winter Design internship--ultimately leading to my hire this fall.
