About GradConnection’s Top Employers Rankings
As Australia’s biggest graduate jobs site, we feature over 200 major graduate employers to an audience of 150,000 registered graduates each year.

The Top 25 Marketing Graduate Employer Rankings 2014
Here’s the Top 25 Marketing graduate employers ranked by the number of applications made to their Marketing graduate programs in 2014. To check out the Top 25 employers for each of the other capital cities, and for each discipline e.g. Arts, Commerce, Engineering and more check out the interactive.
The top marketing employers rankings are dominated by Fast Moving Consumer Goods firms, with Colgate Palmolive, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Mars Australia, Coca-Cola Amatil, and Reckitt Benckiser making it to the Top 25.
Colgate Palmolive’s first place ranking was helped by their recruitment practice of hiring throughout the year rather than several weeks during peak graduate and intern season, which increased the pool of eligible applicants. Similar practices favoured Mainfreight, which is best known as a logistics company.
Interestingly, Deloitte ranked 3rd in marketing whereas none of the other Big 4 professional services firms made the list. Deloitte’s marketing roles can be found in their Marketing, Communications and Business Development function, along with Deloitte Digital.
