Born in Japan, raised in a digital world. We help transform brands and business through the power of Modern Creativity: which creates culture, changes society and invents the future and is accelerated by our deep specialist expertise in digital experience, earned attention and entertainment.

About dentsu Creative ANZ:
At dentsu Creative, we believe you can’t grow with the status quo. Growth comes from challenging convention, earning attention, and creating ideas that make an impact where it truly matters. That is what we mean by Innovating to Impact.

As the industry evolves, the most valuable partners are those who can connect brand, experience, media and commerce into one clear system that drives real business results. That is the kind of work we are building our business around. We work with some of the world’s great brands, helping them solve complex challenges and create ideas that earn attention in culture.

We also have big ambitions for the future of DC. Over the next twelve months we are focused on creating five pieces of great work that define our next chapter, and we are working towards becoming Agency of the Year by 2027.

To do that we need people who are hungry. Hungry to learn, hungry to collaborate, hungry to create great work, and hungry to make a real impact. Our cultural behaviour is simple: Be More Dog. Curious. Energetic. Positive. Loyal to the team. Always chasing the next opportunity.

About the opportunity:
dentsu Creative is launching DC3, a new graduate program designed to help reshape how talent enters the creative industry.

As a DC3 graduate, you’ll spend time with multiple teams, from strategy, to business management, and PR, experiencing firsthand how ideas come to life from every angle.

You’ll see how a problem becomes an insight. How an insight becomes an idea. And how an idea becomes something that shapes people’s behaviour, is talked about, and enters culture.

This program is designed for curious minds who want to understand how innovation creates impact. This isn’t just about ‘making ads’, but the thinking, craft, collaboration, and problem-solving behind creativity. This role will help shape you into the future of agency.

By the end of the program, you’ll have built a unique understanding of the modern agency, setting the foundations for where you’d like your career in creativity to go.

This is a fixed-term contract until the end of 2026, with openings in Melbourne and Sydney. Applicants must have full Australian working rights and be available to commit to full-time work from May to December.

• You have good attention to detail, ensuring that every piece of work is triple-checked.

The Process:
