EditorNews Make a Comment

AUCKLAND, Today: Top advertising jobs are going begging, as the sector deals with an overload of challenges, opportunities and fragmentation. Warning of this looming crisis is Stuff commercial director Josh Borthwick, who was moved to issue this plea …

“It’s an exciting time to be working in the media industry,” he says, “We see adtech startups come and go all the time. Technology changes every six months, and creativity – combined with technical knowhow – is at a premium.”


“If the thrill of being of working for NZ’s largest news website excites you, then you’re well suited for a job with us!”

“However,” he says, “we’re facing a huge shortage of technical talent in our country.

“Stuff is navigating its own place within the media landscape, with New Zealand’s second largest online community to Facebook, Neighbourly, its powerful stack of print publications including just-won Voyager Newspaper of the Year (Sunday Star-Times), an internet provider and an energy business all contributing to support and supplement our staple of quality, trusted journalism.

“Media is a fast-paced world full of challenge and change and one day is never the same as the next. So if the thrill of being at the forefront of the media industry and working for New Zealand’s largest news website excites you, then you’re well suited for a job with us!”
