Extreme Group Scores New Talent Hat Trick for Toronto Office

Extreme Group’s Toronto roster of talent is continuing to grow with the addition of three people.

Matt Syberg-Olsen joins the office as Associate Creative Director. The self-professed ‘shy one’ comes to Extreme Group with 15 years of experience on brands such as Pontiac, GMC, Procter & Gamble, Volkswagen and Cadbury, among others. A former law student, Syberg-Olsen got his start in the business as a copywriter. He has been recognized with a multitude of international awards from prestigious shows such as Cannes, The One Show, and The Advertising and Design Club of Canada.

Carla Salvosa joins Extreme Group as an Account Supervisor. Salvosa brings her experience at award winning agencies to the Toronto Extreme office, having worked with prominent clients such as Listerine, Gatorade and Quaker. As well as her work experience, Salvosa comes to the agency with a degree in semiotics from the University of Toronto.

Rubene De Sousa joins the agency as a production artist. With an unusual start to his career, having a degree in physics from the University of Toronto, De Sousa comes to Extreme equipped with over 10 years experience in advertising.

“What’s exciting for me is not just that we’ve hired three new people to meet the needs of the agency,” said Extreme’s VP, Managing Director Michael Armstrong, “it is the fact that they embody our philosophy of taking the work seriously but ourselves not so much.”
