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.

Tom Ross

The rebrand for architectural and editorial photographer, Tom Ross, set out to capture his professionalism, artistry, and credibility through a refined visual identity that let his images stay squarely in focus.

Inspired by Tom’s love of cinema and print, the new identity reflects narrative warmth and editorial precision. The brand mark is supported by understated copy and carefully curated typography that says a lot or a little but always remains Tom Ross.

 

A print-inspired visual toolkit grounds the brand. Editorial layouts and unexpected colour moments add subtle character. The system moves easily between digital and print, capturing Tom’s ethos: engaging, present, and quietly confident.
