With fun along the way.Location: Central Coast (hybrid options available)Start: Graduate intake cohortThe goal isn''t experience for experience''s sake. We invest in grads because the future of the industry needs sharper thinkers, not more headcount.So we don''t hire grads to make up the numbers.

You''ll develop rock-solid fundamentals across the full marketing spectrum not just one channel in a silo.

People doing real work, like the copywriter writing this ad (hi ).It changes how you think. Fast.The Culture You''re Walking IntoOddball is non-corporate. High-performance. People-first.We''re a multi-channel agency, which means you won''t be boxed into one platform or one way of thinking.Strategy, paid media, organic, search, content, websites. It all connects here.We use the current technology because that''s the baseline. The real work is staying ahead of itand that''s what we''re doing.Testing new platforms. Adapting to changing algorithms. Building smarter systems. Asking "what''s next?" before it becomes obvious. There''s a constant push to be better, faster, and sharper than yesterday.We take the work seriously. Not ourselves.There are team lunches. Whiteboard debates. Slack chaos. The good kind.There''s trust. Autonomy. And an expectation that you''ll speak up when you have something worth saying.You won''t be micromanaged. You also won''t be invisible.Who This Is ForThis role is for you if you''ve recently graduated. Or you''re about to graduate.MarketingBusinessCommerceCommunicationsYou don''t need agency experience.You do need confidence, curiosity, and the ability to communicate clearly.Strategic thinkingStrong writingDigital fluencyA solid individual uni assignment or campaign you''re proud ofYou will be required to submit that work as part of your application.Your First 12 Months at OddballMonths 13Onboarding modules. Training. Shadowing live projects.Months 46You own your first client brief. With support. And expectations.There''s no guessing here. You''ll know what growth looks like and how to reach it.Where This LeadsThis is not a dead-end program.At the end of 12 months, you''ll transition into a permanent role as a strategist, aligned to your strengths and interests.Most grads don''t get that clarity this early. But, as you''ve probably determined so far, we do things a little differently around here.What Past Grads Say"The onboarding was thoughtful and super detailed. I learned how every channel works, but more importantly, why it works. I spent time with different team members across paid, organic, search, content, and strategy, and got to see how all of it actually connects in real client work.""That cross-channel exposure set me up properly. When it came time to contribute to strategy, tactics, and ideas for clients, I wasn''t guessing or copying. I understood the moving parts and how to bring them together.""The other surprise was how fun it is here. There''s pressure, but it''s the good kind. You''re trusted early, supported properly, and encouraged to think for yourself. I''ve learned more in a year than I expected to learn in several, and my skills have grown exponentially because of it."That''s Matt again. You might meet him one day. Sure, he''ll talk about fishing a bit, but you can be sure he''ll echo this statement. But then again, you''ll see it for yourself.The Hiring ProcessInclude your resume, cover letter, and a link to an individual university assignment or folio pieceInterview with strategy and culture leadsOffer made within one to two weeksA Few Common Questions #J-18808-Ljbffr
