Regional news publisher with multi-platform journalism and advertising reach
Bendigo Advertiser is a 170-year-old regional newspaper operator in Bendigo, Victoria, with a 51–200-person workforce now in active hiring acceleration (43 roles posted in the last 30 days). The tech stack reveals operational and technical sprawl—Shopify, Salesforce, HubSpot, WordPress, SAP, and Xero span commerce, CRM, and finance, while CapCut, Lightroom, and Photoshop handle content production. Projects around AI speech-recognition development and staff experience planning, paired with pain points in high-volume accounts receivable and language-model data quality, suggest the company is modernizing both newsroom workflows and backend operations under growth pressure.
