Agency Day 2020 is now closed. Congratulations to our Student Insiders for learning what agency is all about. A huge thank you to our Camp Counsellors for taking time out of their busy schedules to invest in our Future Talent.
Anyone who's curious about working in public relations, marketing, or communications cannot afford to miss Advertising Unlimited. Students and professionals from all disciplines and every demographic are welcome -- indeed, urged -- to participate. Since 2008, the Institute of Canadian Agencies has facilitated this annual opportunity to visit leading agencies and explore the variety of careers possible in this dynamic industry.
Advertising Unlimited takes place every year on January 31st. The event is hosted at Toronto's premier agencies and organized by the Institute of Canadian Agencies (ICA), a not-for-profit association representing Canada's advertising, public relations and marketing communications agencies.
Advertising Unlimited wants to inspire you to consider an agency career. As unique as you are, there are roles in an agency just for you. Today's agencies are responsible for tasks as diverse as Creative, UX/UI, IT, Development, Customer Management, Analytics, Planning, Research, HR, Finance, Marketing, and PR. Moreover, your collaboration with the industry will expose participating agencies annually to a wider, more diverse assembly of skilled candidates/talent.
Advertising Unlimited fosters learning and connection with top agency experts, provides experience working a full day in a busy local agency, and encourages relevant agency contacts that may lead to job leads, internships, or future employment. Whether you're looking for an internship, a job after graduation, returning to work or changing careers, Advertising Unlimited wants you to participate. Things just won't be the same without you!
Advertising Unlimited is designed to remove real and perceived barriers to entry to the industry. As the world's diversity is increasingly acknowledged, so must the industry expand its perspective. Advertising Unlimited is for those who are certain they want to work in the industry as well as those who never considered the industry before. Long gone are the days of Mad Men. The Canadian industry is diverse and inclusive. Join us on January 31st and discover what the industry has to offer and how your unique skills, lived experience and diversity of thought could contribute to the industry.
Advertising Unlimited is designed to inspire new talent to consider an agency career. Conversely, it should also expose participating agencies to a wider, more diverse assembly of skilled candidates. If your agency would like to participate, please contact gardenia@theica.ca for more details.

Advertising Unlimited uses a process called blind hiring to reduce bias and increase workplace diversity. Agencies will only receive applicants answers to four questions. These questions will give the agencies a sense of who you are and why you are interested in visiting their agency during Advertising Unlimited.
The goal of blind hiring is to judge potential hires exclusively based on their abilities. No personal information about the candidate, such as age, race, or education, is considered.
After a decade of successful Next Generation Day events, Advertising Unlimited has been shaped into a more inclusive, progressive initiative to better reflect the interest and diversity of talent interested in a career in advertising. We wanted to remove as many barriers to entry into the advertising industry as possible. Therefore, we have eliminated the registration fee and will be using blind hiring to select the participants.
