We're a search marketing agency with big aspirations. If you want a job with variety, that can be both challenging and rewarding, if you want to strive to be better than anybody else in the industry and be supported in your learning then this is the job for you!

We have a strong team spirit with open (often off topic) discussions creating a fun, energised and lively atmosphere in the office. We have a constantly replenishing supply of tea/coffee, fruit & ice-cream. We have a big TV and comfy sofas in the office, so that we can all relax once in a while.

We enjoy breakfast when the farmers' market is in town and pizza once a month, as well as team lunches to pubs on the river. We use “team building” as an excuse to visit breweries or go-kart tracks, oh and we also offer health insurance!

“We are a supportive and collaborative PR team, looking for another enthusiastic individual to help us grow. If you want a varied role, that is both challenging and rewarding, then this is the job for you! Whilst we are a small PR team, the right candidate will have the opportunity to fast-track their PR career and gain additional responsibilities relatively quickly, which would not always be the case at larger PR agencies.”
