Mercedeez Bendz's Hey There Girl track to play on New Zealand television


Domino Records just sent us the paperwork to have Mercedeez Bendz's Hey There Girl produced Yo Majesty track played on a Kiwi show called 'The Jaquie Brown Diaries.' For those of you who don't know, Mercedeez Bendz is the production name of Shawn Butchart- the Art Director of Switzerland CS and the Emporium Gallery. We're pretty happy to learn that music that was made in our office will be aired on television- on the other side of the world! You can learn more about the Jacquie Brown Diaries here. Pretty cool, Ben Pobjoy

We're looking for interns!


We're looking for interns that live in Montreal. Here's the deal- we run Switzerland CS, a creative services firm that principally works in the areas of Art Direction and Graphic Design, Branding and Identity, Creative Direction and Consultancy, and Marketing and Communications. We work for clients around the globe on fun, creative projects. We also maintain this ol' blog.

In addition to Switzerland CS, we run the The Emporium Gallery, an art gallery in the St. Henri neighborhood of Montreal. The gallery has over 10 exhibitions booked for 2008.

We also run Red Tree, a producer of web based software applications. PAS, our first software application, is going to market in September.

On top of that, Shawn Butchart is a producer and I'm a photographer. There's tons of work associated with Shawn's production work and my photography.

Our loft office in Montreal is the hub of all our ventures. It's a fun, busy place. It's chock full of tunes and has all the lattes and Coca Cola you can drink. You can click the image above to check out our work space.

We're looking for interns that are studying design, marketing, communications, advertising or business. However, we work in so many lines of business that interns will be exposed to a slew of interesting work- too much to summarize. And, we're not assholes, so we guarantee a fun but hectic time. We also believe in inclusion and look forward to including interns in creative decision making.

Applicants should be creative, highly motivated, have strong communication skills and have an absolute passion for the arts.

Why apply? Well, you'll get a hell of a lot of experience, work on interesting projects, meet all the awesome musicians and visual artists that swing by our office, get a ton of free stuff and free access to heaps of concerts and events. And, if you knock our socks off, we'll hire you.

Interested? Email info@switzerlandcs.com and send us your CV. Thanks, Ben Pobjoy
