We've partnered with a media agency that has been around for 25 years and still feels like a place where people actually enjoy coming to work. They plan and buy across the full media mix, from digital to out-of-home, for clients in financial services, health, not-for-profit, and consumer brands. Many of these clients have been with them for over a decade. The team is small, diverse, and genuinely close-knit, with headquarters based in Manly.
About the role
If you are wrapping up your degree and trying to figure out where you fit in marketing and media, this is a great place to start.
A media agency sits between brands and the channels they advertise on. When a business wants to reach customers, whether through Google, social media, TV, radio, or a billboard on the highway, the agency figures out the best way to do that and manages the whole process on their behalf. As an intern, you will be right in the middle of that.
Day to day, you will be getting across campaign reporting, supporting the implementation of digital campaigns, building client presentations, and helping the team keep things running smoothly across a portfolio of clients. You will have seniors above you who will guide your learning, and over time you will take on more, including sitting in on client WIPs, contributing to recommendations, and building a real understanding of how media strategy comes together. It is a role where your skills grow in every direction.
What you'll do
- Support the implementation and reporting of digital campaigns across paid search, paid social, and programmatic platforms
- Assist with offline media activity including out-of-home, radio, and TV, helping the team coordinate placements and track performance
- Build and update campaign reports, pulling together data and presenting it clearly for internal and client use
- Help manage day-to-day administrative tasks across the team's client portfolio, keeping things organised and on time
- Sit in on client WIPs, take notes, and help with follow-ups
- Learn the platforms and tools used across the agency, with training and guidance provided from day one
- Work closely with more senior team members, picking up new skills across planning, buying, and digital execution as you go
What you'll bring
- Currently completing a Bachelor of Communications, Marketing, Business, or a related field, and on track to graduate within the next six months
- Genuine curiosity about how media and advertising work, both digitally and offline
- Strong attention to detail and a willingness to check your own work, accuracy matters when campaigns are live
- Valuable communication skills and the confidence to ask questions, speak up, and contribute in a team environment
- A proactive attitude; someone who looks for the next thing to do rather than waiting to be told
- Comfort with numbers and data at a basic level; you do not need to be a statistician, but you should be comfortable working with spreadsheets and campaign reports
Who this role is for You are wrapping up your Bachelor of Communications, Marketing, or Business and ready to take your first real step into the industry. You want to learn the fundamentals of media: how campaigns are built, how channels are planned, and how it all comes together for real clients,
and you are available two to three days a week to do that properly.
You are not looking to specialise in one thing from day one. You want exposure to the full picture and the room to figure out where your strengths are. You are reliable, organised, and the kind of person who takes pride in getting things right even when the task feels small.
This role is not for you if:
- You want to specialise in one channel only from the start
- You are hoping to focus on content creation, copywriting, or design; this is a media planning and advertising role rather than a creative one
Why you'll love working here
- A paid internship, we believe your time and effort deserve to be recognised from day one
- A genuine entry point into the full media landscape, spanning digital and offline, so you build a broad foundation rather than getting stuck in one lane
- A diverse team from all over the world and different backgrounds, where you can be yourself and that is genuinely welcomed
- Team events that actually get people excited: the team has climbed the Sydney Harbour Bridge, spent weekends in the Hunter Valley and the Blue Mountains, and gathers regularly for socials and lunches
- Fortnightly one-on-ones and a team that pays attention to how you are progressing and opens doors when you are ready for more
