🎉 Artisan Turns 27: Celebrating the Numbers

July 14, 2025

This week, we’re celebrating a milestone that means a lot to us and hopefully to you too.

Artisan is officially 27.

That’s 27 years of placing creatives into dream roles, helping brands bring campaigns to life, and building one of Australia’s most trusted creative recruitment networks.

We kicked off the birthday week with big energy: a community shout-out and a stats-filled trip down memory lane. But above all, today was about recognising what makes this milestone matter, you.

Kicking It Off with a Video Tribute

To launch the celebration, we released a short birthday video capturing just a few of the thousands of moments and numbers that define Artisan. It’s not about the office plants or the number of CVs we’ve reviewed (okay, it’s a lot), it’s about the creative people and clients who’ve grown with us along the way.

27 Years in Numbers

We’ve always said we’re more than a recruitment agency, we’re connectors, champions of creatives and believers in a better way of doing business. But every now and then, it’s nice to see the numbers stack up:

9,000+ amazing brands and partners we’ve worked with
25,000+ placements made across Australia
36,000+ creatives, marketers, designers, devs, and digital pros in our network
27+ years of backing bold ideas and creative careers

Each one of those numbers represents a real story, a real person, a real opportunity. And we couldn’t be prouder.

The Conversation Has Started

On LinkedIn, Instagram and email, we asked our community:
How have you connected with Artisan over the years?

The responses have been everything we hoped for, heartwarming stories, surprise reunions, clients shouting out the talent we helped them find and creatives reflecting on the first job that got them started.

What’s Next?

This was just Day One. The rest of the week, we’ll be sharing testimonials, behind-the-scenes and a peek into what’s new at Artisan in 2025.

So whether you’ve partnered with us, been placed by us or simply cheered us on from the sidelines, we hope you’ll stick around this week.

We’re not just celebrating 27 years of Artisan.

We’re celebrating 27 years of community, creativity, and people-first recruiting, with plenty more to come.
