After a period of sustained growth we’re looking for talented and motivated people to join our Perth team. Many of these roles are new positions.

If you have experience in advertising, brand development or creative technology there may be a place for you at WA’s most integrated and exciting agency. We have offices in Perth, Melbourne and Auckland, and we’re part of Australia’s biggest communications network, the ASX-listed STW Group.

The Brand Agency’s sole focus is to make an extraordinary impact on our clients’ businesses, and we believe the only way we can do that is with people who can help us deliver great work, whatever their discipline. If that’s you, we’d love to talk.

You’ll need to be ambitious and inventive, able to think on your feet, and display a willingness to take a high level of personal responsibility for results.

In return, you’ll work with people who are focused on success but who also like to have fun and know how to celebrate. It’s a very supportive environment and we invest heavily in training and personal development.

You’ll be working with blue chip clients in sectors as diverse as government, education, retail, health, charities and utilities.

Some of the positions available right now include:

Digital Account Manager/Director

You’ll need at least 3 years’ experience managing digital marketing and web development programs. But we don’t work in silos, so expect a fully integrated experience. You will need to display expertise in web, email, social, IA, content, mobile and QA deliverables.

Email Nick Bayes at nbayes@brandagency.com.au

We’re looking for integrated account people at all levels, from those with at least one year’s experience up to more senior Managers and Directors. You’ll be running multi-channel campaigns within a team. Being well organised and having a strong service ethic are mandatory requirements, but showing a passion for our business and a determination to make great work happen will separate successful candidates from the rest.

Email Nick Bayes at nbayes@brandagency.com.au

You’ll be responsible for the smooth running of the reception area, attending to visitors and dealing with inquiries on the phone and face-to-face. Professionalism and a level head are key traits we’re looking for. It’s also a great first step into the world of advertising.

Email Akash Bisnath at abisnath@brandagency.com.au

This dual role is one of the most important in the Agency. You’ll be responsible for organising office operations and procedures, running staff inductions and managing the Receptionist. As PA to our CEO you will work closely with senior management to provide administrative and organisational support. Experience in a similar role is essential, but it doesn’t have to be in the communications industry.
