Welcome, Ben!

December 5, 2025

 

An absolute whirlwind of a new hire, Ben joins us from the UK after holidaying and then moving to Perth. He’s super smart, switched on, loves his sport and has fitted in seamlessly with the team. Sometimes things just fall into place and we’re loving it! 

Take a read about his first week with us below: 

Why Painted Dog? What attracted you to us?

Being one of the leading Market Research agencies not just in WA but in the whole of Australia, the reputation of the company alongside the variety and number of clients was definitely attractive. But it was then meeting some of the team and learning about the collaborative, fun, but competitive culture that really solidified it for me.

What are you most excited about / looking forward to in your role?

Meeting new people, being tested with new challenges, and learning heaps from the team. Oh, and trialling all the eateries in Leederville of course.

What was the highlight of your first week?

Meeting everyone in the office, and all the free food and drink…although I don’t think that will be a weekly thing!

Best piece of advice you received from another staff member so far?

Speak to as many people as you can and never argue with someone on their favourite coffee spot.
