This year saw GTB launch its Australian office in Melbourne.  Formerly Blue Hive Australia, we continue to be more than an advertising agency. (Lots of other places say that, but it’s actually true.)  For starters, we don’t just do advertising – we drive regional strategies and connect markets to deliver true 360 marketing across the region. And we’re also not an agency, but a partnership of J Walter Thompson, Mindshare and Y&R working as a single entity. That gives GTB an extraordinarily diverse range of skill-sets all under one roof: from social media experts to designers, user-experience specialists to researchers, creative teams to web strategists, all working as one team to provide creative solutions, flawlessly executed.

The agency is in fantastic, open plan offices in Richmond. The light-filled office space has an outstanding view of the city skyline.

The office design includes multiple break out areas and activity based work practices have been introduced to encourage a culture of collaboration.  Different combinations of planners, account management, creative, and production staff sit together each day.   GTB encourages its staff to think beyond their traditional roles and have established many different incentives, benefits and awards to encourage this.

There is a strong commitment to staff development; multiple internal, external and global training opportunities exist.
