Architecture and design publication across print, digital, and events
The Local Project is a design-focused media publisher operating across Australia, New Zealand, and North America with a diversified revenue model: three print titles, a hardcover book series, social-first video content, and branded event activations. The hiring mix—balanced between marketing, content, and design roles with a 50/50 mid-to-senior split—reflects a scaling operation moving from editorial-first to multi-channel brand experiences and live events.
The Local Project publishes architecture and design content across print magazines (The Local Project, The Commercial Project, The Local Marketplace), digital platforms, and experiential events. Founded in 2016 with an initial focus on Australian design, the company expanded coverage to New Zealand in 2019 and North America in 2023. The audience spans design professionals and design enthusiasts. Core activities include quarterly print production, social media campaigns across Meta platforms (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok), video storytelling, brand partnerships, and international event activations. The organization operates from Alexandria, New South Wales, with active hiring in Australia and the United States.
