  • Maintain a close connection to the scene, and staying up to date on news and events affecting Toronto and beyond
  • Be an ambassador for our company at events, and uphold our professional integrity through quality, and ethically produced work.
  • Build and maintain relationships with industry professionals — while remaining at an arm’s length.
  • Identify all possible conflicts of interest.
