ABOUT CALUM BALMAIN-MATTHEWS

First, I\'m a lifelong learner—learning is the best. I\'m also a creative thinker and copywriter who loves people, problem-solving, and always asking,\"Why?\" Oh, and advertising is cool. I enjoy a challenge—I like exploring new and interesting angles to find the right creative solution. Let\'s connect some dots, build relationships, and develop something cool. My humorous attitude makes work fun and working with others even better. Other loves: running, music, playing drums, reading and connecting with people. Bonus points: bilingual in English and French. An honours degree in Advertising and Marketing Communications set me up for a successful start to my career as a copywriter in the healthcare marketing industry. There, I honed my skills as a copywriter while learning all about medicine and the wonders of the immune system. But hey, that doesn\'t mean I\'m a one-trick pony. The biggest takeaway is making complex ideas simple without sacrificing clarity or creativity. Bonus asset: I have experience navigating strict regulatory guidelines.I am an experienced server with a demonstrated history of working in the hospitality industry. Over a decade of front-of-house hospitality experience, I have developed a robust set of transferable skills. These skillsets include effective stress and time management, customer service and interpersonal skills, multitasking, and independent problem-solving on the fly. But most importantly, I developed a keen understanding of people, which is always useful in this industry and life.
