The winner of our Twitter contest for the best #workweekfail scene, submitted by Tina Bornemann @aka_teejay , was recorded as a video by the Trust Inc Crew.
Here is her winning submission, and you can watch as Marshall, Ricardo, Benny and Serena try to squirm their way out of this scenario with Catherine:
#workweekfail is if you think you're on mute in the teleconference, make snarky comments about the client, but you're actually NOT on mute.

When Marshall tries to overstep his authority at work, Catherine is fed-up and needs a break. So when a former flame, the dashing Laurence Atridies (Colm Feore), calls out of the blue asking to reconnect with him on a weekend getaway, she can't say no. But are his intentions purely honourable? With so many issues bothering her, Catherine turns to her mysterious slient partner, William Pratt (Stephen McHattie), of Leger & Pratt for advice.

The cast and crew of Trust Inc met in studio before today's recording to choose a winner to our Twitter #workweekwin and #workweekfail contests.
There was much debate as the entries were all very compelling, but we chose those that had great dramatic potential. The grand prize was a chance for your story to be written into a future episode of Trust Inc.
Coincidentally, the winning entries for both contests were sent in by the same listener @aka_teejay . Here are her winning entries, soon to be part of the Trust Inc series :
#workweekwin is also handing the boss who's stuck in the elevator a mug of coffee and a candy bar through the small gap in the door.
#workweekfail is if you think you're on mute in the teleconference, make snarky comments about the client, but you're actually NOT on mute.
Thanks to everyone for submitting and stay tuned for more fun ways to connect with Trust Inc!

Parvinder Singh-Donnelly is an assignment reporter at The Post. Starting out as an entertainment reporter, he's been eager to move onto meatier stories. When he connects with Serena Jordan at L and P's Public Relations firm, a mutually beneficial friendship is formed. He provides her with background material on a breaking story, and she gives him access to the story's principals (when they happen to be her clients).
It may not be entirely ethical, but these are desperate times.
Parvinder's top song picks are:

Benny Lederman (aka Matt Austin Sadowski) is the Special Project Team's "word guy." His unique gift is creating talking points for his clients. As a former advertising copywriter, he is a fussy grammarian, and often corrects his clients' and fellow team members' grammar. Though his moods swing from hyperactive to depressed, he is always funny.
This is the music Benny listens to on his mp3 player (note: he's not cool enough to own an ipod,)

Serena (aka Georgina Reilly) is L&P's social media expert. Marshall Whitman, smelling an opportunity to ingratiate himself with the higher ups, takes her onto his Special Projects unit, which is a very desirable job.
She's now the only female in what was once a comfortable boy's club (with Marshall, Ricardo and Ben) which makes Serena's new job even harder.
But there's no way she's going to give them the upper hand...
These are the most played songs on her ipod:

A former political fixer for a cabinet minister, Ricardo Sandoval (Elias Toufexis) is the 'front door' guy of the crisis unit: smooth, self-assured and tough as nails. He can sweet talk his way into practically any venue. But he does not like taking orders from Marshall, and is sometimes this close to moving Marshall's nose a few centimetres to the left.
These are the songs he listens to, in order, when he's trying to unwind...

Meet Marshall Whitman (Thomas Michael). Leger & Pratt's PR genius. Head of the Special Projects Unit. Triple type A. Cool to the point of being cold, Marshall intuitively knows how to shape his clients up in a hurry. Not one to suffer fools lightly, he is shooting for senior partner and prepared to do whatever it takes to get there.
He likes his music loud, preferably while driving along the coast in a convertible on a sunny day. This is what he's be listening to:

As punishment for being named this week's"fail", Benny is given a daunting task: turn a former CFL Quarterback into a smooth, media savvy spokesperson.
