“We keep stepping forward with the right people and the right thinking to imagine and build brands that drive real change. I’m very excited for this new role, and to continue using the power of creativity to unlock growth.”
Of the appointment, Interbrand AUNZ chief executive Nathan Birch said: “Over the years, Amanda has constantly displayed unparalleled leadership and strategic vision. This promotion is a testament to her ability to inspire teams, build and grow brands, and drive exceptional client outcomes.”

Dan’s pithy writing skills are the envy of the team, along with his keen eye for detail, and wonderful ability to positively impact the people around him. As Verbal Identity Director, he’ll be instrumental in our next chapter of naming and brand voice work.
