Cut and paste. It used to mean scissors and clag, now it means ctrl+x and ctrl+v. Be that good or bad, it's still an art form. And for some, it's also a career. Jack Hutchings is one of Australia's top cut and pasters. He's a film editor with an eye for storytelling and now runs his own editing studio, The Butchery. Now we love having a yarn now an then, but Junior has really upped the stakes. Jack invited us over to his studio for gourmet North Melbourne pizza and a row of beers. Yes, ... Read More! »

Ok. So you've heeded our advice and now you've got the job. You're relieved. You've got the salary, you can afford food, and your parents are beginning to tell all their friends. Which annoys you, but it's better than constantly being quizzed on your employment situation since you got that piece of glorified paper in the mail. But now you're expected to do work?

Last Wednesday we held our very first Junior drinks. Seeing everyone there made us realise the true reason Junior exists: Drinking! Oh, and having a really good time. Because life's too short to be lame and boring. And we're not into that sort of thing. Special thanks to our guest speaker Jeremy Wortsman from The Jacky Winter Group. You were hilarious and entertaining. And if you missed out, don't stress. We're holding the next event at Sweatshop (again) on December 10. For those who came, ... Read More! »

Stan is our mentor. He tells us things like, "Nothing worth doing in life ever comes easy." That's right, sometimes you need to be told the tough stuff. And sometimes it needs to come from someone who knows better than you. So consider yourself lucky, because we're sharing our mentor.

When we heard Droga5 Sydney had an executive driver, we went nuts. Who is this guy? He sounds young. He sounds creative. But he's the driver? Maybe this job is the modern day answer to the ad agency mailroom? We wanted to know more. So we sent an email to Marcus asking if his bosses would allow us to get an interview with their junior minion. And although we may have called the MD and partner Marianne Bess “Shebangabang” by mistake – and it was an honest mistake, promise – they let us ... Read More! »
