We work under one global P&L – which means access to world-class thinking, tech and tools, global insights, and networking, along with the mandate and ambition to build something uniquely Australian (and awesome) championed by our growing local team. 
• Creative isn’t just a department here. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve the way we work, challenge the status quo, and leave the industry a little better than we found it. That culminates in our global DEI initiatives, including our inaugural Praytell Intownships program here in Australia.  
• We work hard to foster a thoroughly flexible working environment which culminates in our “40 by Friday” work week (ask us about this, and we’ll happily share more!)
• We believe you do your best work where works for you, so we operate a hybrid schedule, working two days per week from our Cremorne, Melbourne office. 
• With offices across the U.S., U.K., and Australia, as well as many sister agencies across our Project Worldwide network, there are opportunities for global collaboration and immersion – including our personal favourite, Camp Praytell (this year, we headed to Nashville, Tennessee for our company offsite). 
• We have a flexible time off policy which includes 20 days annual leave per year, in addition to Christmas to New Year’s Day as gifted holidays. Need more? Let’s talk. 
• Parental leave benefits and flexible return to work arrangements that we’re proud of.
