Clemenger BBDO has today welcomed the latest
batch of recruits from its 'Exceptions to the Rule' program across its
Melbourne and Sydney offices.
The 'Exceptions to the Rule'
program is Clemenger BBDO's annual search for diverse talent that may
not have come through traditional tertiary or career pathways, providing
an opportunity for those that haven't studied advertising to enter the
industry.
This year's search saw more than 200 applications, with 12 of those
being offered placements as 'Exceptions'. 2019's recruits include an
interior designer, a theatre director, food writer, commerce student,
fashion blogger and art history major, among others.
Says Nick
Garrett, CEO, Clemenger BBDO: "What is most pleasing to me is to see how
well our first two intakes of Exceptions have done in the agency, and
we're incredibly proud of what they achieved. I look forward to seeing
this year's Exceptions kick-start their careers with us."
