Clemenger gets ranked at number one for graduates, Business Desk gets a $680,000 promotional vehicle and Ancestry ANZ partners with Spark Foundry
Clemenger Group ranked ‘best place to work’ by Kiwi graduates.
Results from a survey conducted for GradNewZealand show that Clemenger Group was the most desired workplace for the media and communications sector.
Clemenger Group CEO Jim Gall says the business is thrilled with the recognition they have had as they have worked hard to offer young people a helping hand to start their working life.
“We’re operating in a world where talent is getting harder to attract, at a time when New Zealand organisations need intelligent creativity more than ever. We’ve set ourselves clear goals to find and train the next generation of creative minds” says Gall.
Evident from recent research, upcoming generations are becoming clearer on their employment wants and needs and tend to find a workplace that aligns with their values.
Clemenger Group launched a new graduate programme last year which aims to provide ambitious young people with the industry skills and experience they desire.
“With our graduate programme, we want to inspire and excite those starting out about a career in advertising and marketing, showing how their work shapes popular culture and, at its best, can lead to positive behaviour change,” says Gall.
Looking forward, Gall says Clemenger aspires to eventually lead all sectors in New Zealand, not just media and communications.

“The Rolls-Royce of business news sites“
Promoting the launch of their news site, BusinessDesk is using New Zealand’s only Rolls-Royce Cullinan to entertain the streets of downtown Auckland. The $680,000 car will be towing a billboard with the company’s slogan “follow the money” over the next few days.
BusinessDesk’s official launch will commence on February 26 after having soft-launched in November. Publisher Matt Martel says the billboard slogan “follow the money” came from the film “All the President’s Men” and is essentially linked to good journalism.
“With almost any story, Follow the Money to find out the motivations of those involved,” says Martel.
