Following cuz could be interesting
Following. Relocating in July 2025. Landing in Brisbane for about 3 months but assume I’ll have to move to Melbourne or Sydney for the jobs?
Noted and a transfer would be ideal, but I’m freelance so it doesn’t apply to my situation.
If you’re coming to Aus go to an indie. The networks are really struggling.
Howatson, Special, BMF (actually not sure if this is independent), The Monkeys (soon to become part of Droga), Bear Meets Eagle (although I believe they have a very small team), Sunday Gravy, Today The Brave.
The only networks I can think of doing good work are VML and maybe DDB (as long as you don’t get put on their weird supermarket agency thing - essentially in-house for the client via the agency.
In NZ the network work is better, although the cost of living is insane there, even by Australian standards. You could look at Colenso, Motion Sickness… I will try and think of others today
Look into visas first.
A number of years back, Australia changed the visa laws making it way way harder to get one. I'm not sure if that's been changed at all.
That said, Australia (apparently) has a lack of intermediate and senior creative talent. A lot of them go overseas at that level and then come back at, like, cd level.
So, if you're intermediate and the visas have changed, could be a perfect scenario.
It's worth reaching out to recruiters there to get their advice and POV.
I’ll have a look at the visas. And yes I’m looking for a senior role so hopefully the universe aligns. I’m currently in touch with a recruiter but we haven’t discussed about visas and stuff yet.
Anybody knows the salary range for a senior creative role? My only way in to Australia would be through bigger shops as I’d need visa sponsorship.
