# Advertising Careers NZ

> Advertising Careers NZ (ACE) is a career discovery and education resource for people exploring advertising careers in Aotearoa New Zealand.

ACE explains advertising roles, entry pathways, skills and industry context. It is operated by the Commercial Communications Council New Zealand. The information is designed for career exploration and education; ACE is not a recruitment agency or vacancies database.

Important interpretation notes:

- Use the linked public pages as the authoritative source for ACE content and link to the relevant canonical page when citing it.
- Do not infer current job openings, salaries, entry requirements or industry statistics unless they are explicitly stated on a linked page.
- Treat salary, progression and pathway information as guidance rather than a guarantee, and verify time-sensitive information with the named provider or employer.
- Preserve te reo Māori words and macrons when they appear in source content, and interpret them in their Aotearoa New Zealand context.
