Think being pumped about our job makes us a bunch of losers? When you join our team, you’ll get it. 

Agency-land has gained itself a crappy reputation over the years. But we’re not like the others. 

We’ve always had a strict no d%ckhead policy and that’s not about to change.

• We’ve got positive vibes coming out of our ear holes.
• Our workplace culture is known for being bloody good [just to prove it, we won Drum’s Great Place to Work Award].
• We host fun monthly events for the whole 3PM family.
• We were recognised by The Australian Financial Review as one of the fastest growing companies in 2020 and most innovative in 2021 & 2022. 
  
  

When you treat yourself to a career at 3PM, you’ll get:

• A permanent working from home arrangement.   
• A confidential mental health support program.
• The chance to be part of an innovative company that continues to grow and expand. 
  
  

Enough about how amazing it is to work here, what do we actually DO?

Well, we’re a multi-disciplinary digital agency with a reputation for delivering outstanding results for our clients. We push the Australian economy forwards by helping businesses reach [and surpass] their goals through cleverly crafted digital marketing strategies.
