Our team is super driven and hard-working, but we’re all easy-going and friendly, and we love our frequent (paid-for ) team dinners and meet-ups, where you’ll get to talk and vibe with everyone.
Our goal is to reshape education, starting with tutoring. We think there’s an opportunity for a brand and organisation to create a significant impact on school-level education in Australia. We believe, through the implementation of technology and modern business practices, learning can be much more enjoyable and effective for students. As we progress, our small steps start to become big strides, as we make major advances in the resources & support we provide to our students.
Rather than just adopting usual ad campaigns for our high-achieving students, we wanted to go above and beyond in sharing our student success stories through a high-quality, personalised production series. Through this production, you’ll harness your creativity and work with our young and energetic team to display Contour’s brand in its true, vibrant colours - our students and their journeys at Contour, our passionate team of tutors, our offices, our culture, our study and work environment, and much, much more!
We strongly believe that if you want to apply your production, set design and audiovisual monitoring skills in the education sphere, then Contour is the place to be!
