Brendan Good from Leo Burnett

Last Friday we had a very insightful speaker, Brendan Good from Leo Burnett, coming in to speak to us about the advertising industry. Brendan Good is currently the Associate Creative Director at Leo Burnett. He took Sheridan's web design program in 2003. Before this program, he was an industrial designer at RIM. After the web design program, he has worked at various companies like Organic, Jam3Media, Greys Interactive.

During his presentation, he mentions that it is very important to maintain your connections, dive deep into the things that you like and keep learning. He says that if you make your hobbie your passion you can definitely make a career out of it. Another very important idea he wanted to extend was passion. For everything and anything you do, passion can take you a long way. He also mentions that as a designer, it is great to always have a notebook and a pen around you. This is us to make notes and to jot down any ideas that we come up with.
