Work with some of the best and brightest brands
What we do and who we are Acumen is a corporate and marketing communications agency working with some of the best-known companies and brands in Aotearoa and around the world. We are in the business of earning trust for clients. We do this by building relationships with conversations that matter.
Our purpose is to evolve, promote and protect brands and reputations offering a rare blend of specialist communications expertise, along with knowledge of people, business, culture, media and political environments.
Our diverse team has skills ranging from content development, PR and media, brand and marketing communications, issues management, stakeholder and government relations. We are creatives, problem solvers, storytellers, trusted advisers, thinkers, and doers.
Being independent and employee-owned defines our culture and gives us entrepreneurial spirit. We are ethical and inclusive with shared values of creativity in our thinking, credibility in our teams, energy in our actions and real warmth in our relationships.
The opportunity We are looking for a communications superstar to join our Wellington team and work with a broad mix of clients across corporate and consumer communications. From technology to food and beverage, to the building sector, financial services and everything in between, you’ll be working with local and international brands, and you will play an integral role in delivering high impact campaigns.
We offer a flexible working environment, summer hours, great snacks and the chance to work with and learn from exceptional consultants on a wide variety of campaigns. Our affiliation with Edelman, the world’s largest communication company, gives us access to global data, best-practice as well as opportunities to partner on work programmes. The team here even goes across the ditch from time-to-time.
About you We’re after someone who has 2-3 years’ communications experience, an interest in government policy, and someone who enjoys the business of storytelling, has existing media relationships, and who isn’t afraid to hustle.
You will be well organised and detail-focused, curious, enthusiastic, and always on the lookout for opportunities for your clients. You will have a successful track record of building relationships and managing programmes of work. You’ll love the detail of effective budget management, the blue sky thinking of brainstorms and be ready to develop your strategic comms skills.
Our business is set-up for you to shine. We pride ourselves on nurturing and investing in our team of talented people. We are focused on supporting you to be successful.
