Building brands. Driving results
Australia's award-winning specialist in financial services marketing. Partner-led thinking. AI-led delivery
About
Founded in 2012. Fiercely independent. The same two people who started the agency are across every brief, every meeting, every piece of work. No layers. No account managers between you and the thinking.
How we work
We use AI where it adds value: from audience intelligence and creative pre-testing to asset production. Not as a gimmick. As an operating system. The result: better briefs, faster production, and creative that's pre-tested to perform.

Services
We believe intelligent communications build brands faster and more effectively. Everything we produce is delivered at speed, on time and on budget, across every touchpoint.
01
We build campaign systems, not one-off ads. A framework that stretches across channels, time, and budgets — so the work compounds instead of starting from zero each time.
AI-enhanced briefs02
We produce consistent, creative work at speed and scale that drives action across all platforms. Financial services moves fast — so do we, without sacrificing quality or brand integrity.
AI production pipeline03
Every idea starts with a commercial question: what does this need to make happen? We use data and AI pre-testing to build creative that's designed to convert.
Pre-tested creative04
Our in-house team shoots, edits, animates, and delivers video in quick turnaround times. From TVC to social reels to in-branch content.

Reframing how Australians think about travel banking — from fees and friction to freedom, through a full-funnel campaign across TV, social, airport, and in-branch.

Giving Australia's financial advisers the tools to spread the word about the power of advice — backed by landmark research across 12,634 Australians.

Managing Partner
Managing Partner, The Dylan Agency
Kathryn has worked across the full customer journey, from awareness through to retention, for some of Australia's largest financial services brands. She's what makes the agency tick, which means everything gets made on time, on brief, and to a standard that doesn't need explaining.
What clients say
I have worked with The Dylan Agency for years now, across two different organisations. Perhaps my willingness to turn to them for brand and marketing in my new role is testimony enough.
The Dylan Agency have been super-consistent in that time, delivering a high standard of work across every medium from video to animation to banners to installations. They often go over and above the call of duty, their turn-around time is something that is great to know you can rely on, and their project management is second to none.
The Dylan Agency have a deep understanding in the world of financial services and wealth management marketing, from brand building to acquisition they are a trusted partner who always deliver and, the best bit, are fun to work with.
