In her Year 1ne in Canada, Alia's been working as an Account Manager at OLIVER Agency where she leads campaigns for Manulife’s Insurance, Bank, and Real Estate businesses. Prior to this, Alia worked in banking for almost 9 years in the Middle East & Africa, before deciding to make a career and life change to move to Canada and get into advertising in client service.

Some of the things that Alia and Blair discuss include how client service is essential “connective tissue” in an advertising agency, the fun of crafting a good creative brief; and, the important questions to answer to better position yourself in the job search.
