Position:  Business Development
Location: Toronto, Ontario (401 Richmond St. West)

Strategic thinker, motivated, organized, creative, great presenter, smart and a little bit eccentric.  If this reads similar to your twitter bio, then we want to hear from you!  We are seeking a person with all of the above traits to be the newest member of the Loopmedia family, in a New Business Development role.

As a member of Loop’s sales & marketing team, you will need a minimum of three to five years experience in a sales/marketing or agency role and a post secondary education.  That aside, good communication skills, an unwavering passion for new media and knowledge of emerging platforms is a must.  Being an awfully nice person never hurts either.
Some of your daily responsibilities and challenges will be:

• Develop leads and close sales
• Assist in creating and managing sales materials
• Maintaining client relationships
• Develop and present proposals & RFP’s
• Work closely with Loop’s production & creative teams
• Research and stay tuned with industry trends
• Work strongly in a team and as an individual
• Participate actively in weekly meetings and pitches
• Effectively manage team resources

If this sounds like you, we dare you to show us what you’ve got!  Send us your cover letter and resume, but remember Loopmedia is a creative commune so the traditional and boring need not apply.  Tell us why you meet all the criteria above and how you will exceed our expectations.  If you catch our eye, we’ll be in touch!

Please send your resume and cover letter to jan@loopmedia.com

Loopmedia design team, Fiction, worked with Force Four Entertainment of Vancouver to create the show opening for Million Dollar Neighbourhood, a reality television show airing on OWN: Oprah Winfrey Network (Canada).  A months-long financial boot camp, Million Dollar Neighbourhood focuses on a small B.C. town as its residents attempt to regain financial stability through a series of challenges and community based tasks. The show, a new addition to OWN, challenges 100 real families to work together to increase their collective net worth by $1 million.

The designers created an opening that is glossy and bright with a distinctive air of inspiration. Footage of the shows participants was colour corrected with warm tones and highlights and then further embellished with glow and flare accents. Stylish animated 3D text and title treatments stand out from the footage with subtle white
accents and glassy compliments.

Million Dollar Neighbourhood premieres, Sunday, January 22 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Loopmedia design team, Fiction, worked with production company Proper Television to complete the show opening for CBC’s new reality based program, Redemption Inc. Based on the concept that everyone deserves a second chance at success, Canadian business guru and Redemption Inc. host, Kevin O’Leary gives a group of ex-convicts the opportunity to prove their business acumen on the right side of the law.

Mike Spicer and Dave Desjardins created a full HD broadcast package that takes an aesthetic trip back to the minimalist 1950’s. The design is classic and free of clutter with a continuous theme that transitions and threads from one idea to the next. The use of 3D takes the viewer on a multi-perspective joyride through the entire spot, ending on a logo design that is archetypal and polished. The simplistic colour palette of grey, black and red plays into the vintage 1950’s criminal theme, adding a rebelliously cool tone to the shows opening.

Redemption Inc. will air on Monday nights at 9 starting January 9th on CBC.
