Anyone doing marketing or comms in Adelaide area?
I'm starting to look for work now our house purchase is coming along (fingers really tightly crossed still though!) and I'm struggling to find agencies or even just info on what the opportunities are in this area. Some of the bigger job search engines don't come up with anything at all if you search for marketing and Adelaide - or come up with jobs that aren't even vaguely related.
Any tips? I was a Comms Manager for a law firm in the UK and ideally looking for something similar (just not for a law firm!), events, branding, PR etc.
If anyone has any suggestions for agencies or anything like that I'd be really grateful or I'd even love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar position and can offer some sympathy
Thanks in advance

What exactly do you mean by Comms? I've only ever heard of the expression in relation to IT (meaning communications) which is a fairly specialised techy area related to IT networking.
Perhaps your job is known by another name here?

Your comment is really useful, there's no point me looking for Comms jobs here if that's not what it's known as. That's kinda what I'm trying to find out, what I need to be calling myself these days. It was difficult enough in the UK with so many different titles for the same job!

Can't really help as I'm in IT.
Maybe you need to check out all the jobs within the Marketing, Advertising, Event Management, PR etc classifications in Seek and see which ones come up with the closest matches for what you're looking for.
Just for research purposes, search in Sydney (rather than limiting yourself to Adelaide) and you'll find more to pick from. It might help in narrowing down a job title.
Good luck

Re: Anyone doing marketing or comms in Adelaide area?
Um, that's one of my concerns! By Communications I mean events, literature, websites, PR, that kind of thing. Not at all techy - although I would quite happily communicate about those too

Thanks Nicky too for your suggestion, and for the good wishes
Rabsody, thanks for your comments. I stopped calling myself Marcomms Manager in the Uk as noone knew what one was there either!! I'm sure it is an active field but what you say about networks would make sense and explain the seeming lack of adverts for these roles. It will just take a lot longer that way as I need to start getting to know who I need to know, if you know what I mean!

Re: Anyone doing marketing or comms in Adelaide area?
It's been a while but yes, I'm pretty sure most of that is covered by what I did!! How did you find that? I found the jobsearch website but that is now sending me daily e-mails telling me they don't have any jobs in marketing/comms for 25km round Adelaide - which I know can't be true. Thanks for sending the link though (it must be true, you really must be the Adelaide Angel ) I'll have a look round that site, really useful, thanks.

I looked for Marcomms jobs, but there aren't any in ADL. They are mostly in Sydney and the ACT.
Do a search for variations of that job title see what comes up, also the links on the jobsite I gave you should give similar roles at the bottom - might be that one of them fits as well.

I've used that site for ages, it helps to find what the damn job titles are out here because the same job can be advertised with twenty diffferent titles

I'd still be interested to hear from anyone who has got a job of this type in Adelaide and how they went about it.

Just a thought, not sure if you have been checking out SEEK for jobs? Quite often the type of roles you are after are in the Advert/Media/Entertain category, rather than the sales and marketing category (which one may assume they'd be in). I've just had a look and there are a few there like Events and Sponsorship Manager for Diageo, Media Adviser for Lord Mayor's office, Communications Officer, Public Affairs Adviser etc etc. If you have a look now www.seek.com.au and go to that category you'll see a few jobs there that may be suitable.
