Marilyn is a creative agency in Melbourne. For over 15 years, we’ve used strategy and great design to help brands tell their stories and solve businesses’ stickiest problems.
We like to become a part of the furniture – if your furniture was really clever and went home at the end of every day. We ask a million questions, explore heaps of weird left-turns and float dozens of ideas until we settle on whatever will get your message seen and heard in crowded and noisy markets.
It sounds like a bit of a cliché to say, ‘No two jobs are the same’, but there’s truth to it. We go in fresh to every project, get tactical when deadlines are tight, and dive even deeper when long-term projects are put in front of us. We want you to trust us to get it right, and sometimes that also means trusting us to wander into the edges of your brief and come back with something a bit left-of-centre. Structure and processes get stuff done, and bravery and flexibility make it fun.

The Body Shop
Overachieving Gifts raises a toast to The Body Shop for the bloody overachievers they’ve always been – proving that great gifts can be a force for good, both for your Christmas shopping list and for the world.
With a laundry list of amazing things to say, and a culture allergic to boasting, we used self-deprecating, light-hearted copy alongside stills and motion that reference over-the-top luxury and tech to create something simultaneously out of place and on brand for TBS. When we could, we went in-depth on product benefits, while imagery and a twist on a gifting cliché did quick work elsewhere.
