From classroom to co-op to career, every step of your journey has an impact on your future.

- Doing research on trends, competitors, and new marketing channels
- Reviewing ads and creative to make sure everything looks right before launch

- How a marketing team spends and optimizes multi-million-dollar budgets
- How media plans are built and adjusted based on performance and insights
- How to measure success with metrics like cost-per-quote, customer acquisition cost, and ROI
- How tools like Google Ads, GA4, and Looker dashboards actually get used day-to-day
- How marketing, analytics, and brand teams work together to make campaigns happen
What We’re Looking For
- You’re in a co-op program for Marketing, Business, Data Analytics, or something similar
- You’re curious about digital marketing and love working with data
- You’re organized, detail-oriented, and good with numbers
- You know your way around Excel/Google Sheets (bonus if you’ve played with dashboards)
- Most importantly, you’re eager to learn and not afraid to ask questions
Did you know?
- We care about our co-ops: Definity’s co-op students are considered the best pipeline of talent for our full-time, permanent positions.
- We care about students: Definity distributes $85,000 in scholarships to students across Canada each year.
- We care about our community: Definity donates more than $1 million every year to causes that drive true change in the neighbourhoods in which we live and work.
What can Definity offer you?
- Meaningful work forwarding our purpose of building a better world by helping our clients and communities adapt and thrive in their hardest times of need.
- Culture of accountability, empowerment, and collaboration.
- Opportunities to support personal and professional growth through real-life experience and unique learning opportunities.
