“I just saw your 16 years pop up and HAD to comment. There have been a few agency friends who have been a constant in my career, and you are most definitely one! It’s your consistent energy, givingashitedness, and positivety that has always stood out to me. Every time I see you, you excitedly tell me about a project, a great client, or a rockstar April 5er who’s just accomplished something great. I love it! Stay excellent.”
— Devon Rick, Managing Partner at IMI International
An agency with purpose.
At April5 we’re passionate about ESG and sustainable practices, to promote initiatives to benefit communities, employees, suppliers and the environment. Here is a snapshot of how we are affecting change.
To continue our commitment to being a carbon neutral agency, we donated to the Widgewah Conservation Sanctuary reforestation project VIC in December 2023 to help create new habitat to preserve threatened species.
