The annual search for Australia’s best and brightest talent has launched today through Clemenger BBDO’s ‘Exceptions to the Rule’ program, with applications open for placements across Clemenger BBDO Melbourne and Sydney.

‘Exceptions to the Rule’ is a commitment to the agency’s belief that the future leaders of the creative industry aren’t solely coming through traditional tertiary or career pathways, providing an opportunity for those who haven’t studied advertising to enter the industry.

Clemenger BBDO CEO, Nick Garrett, said, “Having run the program for the past two years, the diversity of talent and perspective that we’ve added to the agency has been nothing short of phenomenal.

“The Exceptions from the past two years are continuing to do great things across every department at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, and we’re looking forward to meeting this year’s applicants.”

The recruitment process is in two stages – the first being a video response showcasing what makes the applicant interesting and unique, and the second and final stage with successful applicants invited to participate an agency style group task where they’ll be assessed in person while completing.
