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.

Revolve Partners
Executive search and talent are often weighed down by convention—dense jargon, rigid processes, and brands that feel distant from the realities of modern business. Revolve Partners wanted to stand apart: to bring the credibility of established firms, but with an identity and voice that felt sharper, more approachable, and future-focused.
We positioned Revolve as the Experienced Disruptor, a brand that balances authority with energy. They have experience at both ends of the scale – from start up, nimble environments to complex multinational organisations. Confident and intelligent, yet always conversational and direct, the tone of voice cuts through complexity with clarity, data, and candour. It speaks to clients in everyday language while grounding every recommendation in research and global insight.
We built the identity around the X, Y, and Z axes, a symbol of Revolve’s ability to approach challenges from every angle and deliver holistic, multi-dimensional solutions.
The wider design system drew inspiration from editorial mastheads and respected lifestyle publications. Bold, consistent, and professional, it reinforces Revolve’s dual personality: the reassurance of seasoned expertise and recommendation with the energy of a challenger brand willing to meet clients where they are.
The result is a brand that redefines expectations in executive search and workforce consulting. Revolve stands out as a trusted, long-term partner. Every touchpoint reflects their tenacity in how they operate; how they deliver insights that clients can act on, and strategies that shape their future.
