ADMA and ACS partner with work intelligence platform Reejig for landmark project charting the impact of AI on Australia’s workforce

Media Release - Sydney, Australia - August 21, 2025: Australia’s peak bodies for marketing and IT – the Association for Data-Driven Marketing and Advertising (ADMA) and the Australian Computer Society (ACS) – have partnered with leading work intelligence provider Reejig for a landmark project to map the impact of AI on workplaces in real-time.

The National Work Intelligence Partnership will map how AI is transforming roles, tasks and skills across the marketing and IT industries in real time. Powered by Reejig’s Work Ontology® and Work Operating System (WorkOS), it will provide a first-of-its-kind dataset to help leaders in these critical sectors navigate the rapidly shifting workforce dynamics and demands.

Uniting ADMA’s expertise in marketing capability, privacy, policy, and innovation with ACS’s authority in digital skills, standards, and technology strategy, the partnership sets a new national benchmark for evidence-based workforce transformation. It will cover everything from redefining capability and accelerating talent transitions to rethinking how education and policy prepares teams for an AI-powered economy.    

The program will replace guesswork with live, actionable intelligence, giving marketing and IT leaders the tools, frameworks, and clarity to align ethics with productivity, guide strategy, and shape national policy.    

This partnership supports ACS’s ten-point action plan to close Australia’s digital skills gap and boost national productivity by $25 billion before 2035, as outlined in the 2025 Digital Pulse report.

For ADMA, this partnership speaks to the future of marketing where AI is a powerful collaborator. By equipping marketers with the skills to integrate AI ethically and effectively, we strengthen the profession’s role in shaping smarter, more human-centred marketing.

Andrea Martens, CEO of ADMA, says, “Our landmark partnership with ACS and Reejig is industry-defining, designed to put marketing at the forefront of an AI-driven future. By uniting cross-sector expertise with real-time intelligence, we can give marketing leaders the confidence, evidence, and tools to adapt roles, build capability and navigate the most significant transformation our industry has faced.”

Josh Griggs, CEO of ACS, says: “Digital capability is now a national priority and AI is at the centre of that transformation. Bringing tech and marketing together under a national work intelligence partnership will create a single source of truth to guide skills, strategy and innovation at scale.”

Siobhan Savage, CEO of Reejig, adds: “For too long, companies have been flying blind on how work gets done, a challenge now exposed more than ever by the acceleration of AI. Reejig’s Work Operating System makes every task visible, shows where AI belongs, and orchestrates work between people and technology for maximum impact. Partnering with ADMA and ACS means giving leaders the clarity to reinvent work boldly and responsibly - ensuring AI elevates capability, reshapes tasks, and evolves jobs and skills in two of Australia’s most important sectors.”
