Hi, I'm currently emigrating to Toronto, Canada from the UK and looking for work as an art director. I have over 10+ years experience and an online portfolio available to view at http://www.philipregan.com
Being a Brit, I make a mean cup of tea. So anyone who will see my portfolio will receive a genuine British tea bag and a cup of tea brewed to their satisfaction. If you would like me to keep in touch email me and I'll send you a teabag for brewing when we meet in person. Cheers, Phil

“I work hard and I’m nice to people.”
hmm, these qualities should be a given and not really considered attributes...
anyhow, your work is solid and I can think of a few studios that you may try your luck with, but I wouldn't expect to land an Art Director position...

Hi, Mr Snuggles, what kind of position do you think I should be looking at? And who should I approach? And thank you for your prompt, honest comments...
(And you're right, these qualities should be a given yet all the vacancies I see tend to ask for it. So why not say it?)

heh, I missed the 10 plus years experience, sorry, you should be looking for an AD position then..
I'm trying to think of this one studio I interviewed with, nice guys and a similar approach as you. I'll post it as soon as I remember...
Here's a list I have of Toronto studios, it's a bit outdated, but it's a good start...

good clean work
+ typical art director's glasses
+ a brit who brews quality teaall you need in a cricket sweater with an old tikka masala stain and you are ready to take canada by storm.
gd luck.

here I live now. It's a pretty small island (about 4x6miles). There's only about 4 agencies worth bothering about and I've worked at 2 of those. Time to leave this pond and try and get some real experience I reckon...
Thanks for your help Mr Snuggles! Much appreciated. W
