Having just won Campaign Brief’s Media Agency of the Year, we are now excited to invite applications for the role of Digital Associate with our awesome team in Perth. 

The role: 

As a Digital Associate, you’ll gain hands-on experience across paid search, paid social, programmatic and emerging digital channels. You’ll learn how campaigns are set up, tracked, optimised and reported – building a strong technical and analytical foundation in a high-growth industry. 

You’ll work closely with experienced digital specialists who will mentor and support your development every step of the way. 

Core responsibilities: 

  • Help set up and launch digital campaigns across platforms like Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and programmatic tools 

  • Support tracking and tagging (UTMs, pixels, conversion tracking) to ensure campaigns measure correctly 

  • Monitor live campaigns for pacing and performance, flagging any issues or opportunities 

  • Pull and prepare campaign reports using platform data and Excel 

  • Assist with audience targeting, list uploads and remarketing setup 

  • Coordinate creative assets to ensure ads meet platform specs and go live on time 

A Bit About You: 

  • Strong attention to detail, especially when working with data and campaign setup 

  • A curious mindset and passion for digital, tech and how advertising works online 

  • Highly organised and able to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced environment 

  • A team player who’s proactive, asks questions and is eager to learn 

  • Confident communication skills (written and verbal) 

Experience & Qualifications: 

  • Less than 2 years of experience in media, marketing or advertising (internships or graduate roles welcome) 

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, Digital Media, Business or a related discipline (or equivalent experience) 

  • Basic understanding of digital advertising channels and how they function within a media campaign 

  • Familiarity with Google Ads, Meta Ads or programmatic platforms is advantageous but not essential 

  • Google Ads or Meta Blueprint certification is well regarded 

What’s in it for you: 

  • Real flexibility to work when and where you feel most productive with our ‘Be the Best You’ policy which includes a $250 contribution to your home office set up 

  • The opportunity to give back with dedicated volunteer leave and our whole-company event, One Day for Change 

  • 5 weeks annual leave after 2 years of service and 3 whole company Wellness days off per year for you to switch off and take your day, your way 

  • Opportunity to join National dentsu DEI Councils to contribute to driving diversity of thought through our network 

  • Career Development and Learning & Development opportunities, including access to our global online dentsu University 

Become a champion for meaningful progress: 

Our diverse and inclusive culture enables our employees to bring their whole selves to work and be proud of doing so. For us, this is the foundation for great innovation which, in turn, generates better outcomes for our people, partners and communities. This is why we encourage applications from people with disabilities, and of all ages, nationalities, backgrounds and cultures. 

If you want to belong to a one global network where opportunities are limitless – we look forward to welcoming you.
