SYDNEY — Tourism Australia has awarded One Green Bean a new three-year contract to manage the brand's UK public relations following a competitive pitch. The integrated PR, marketing and social media agency will lead the development and implementation of a communications strategy to position Australia as a highly desirable, must-visit destination as Brits eagerly await the reopening of the country's borders following two years of travel restrictions due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Participants will also be able to work under a hybrid model and have the flexibility to work remotely from their location of choice for up to a month.

SYDNEY — Archetype Sydney has redesigned its office to include The Clubhouse, a dedicated space meant to foster collaboration, creativity, and connection.

The Clubhouse will become a destination for in-person connection, collaboration and creativity, bringing people together over special lunches, activities and wellness sessions that unite and inspire.
