Interbrand Australia has made a trio of promotions, led by the elevation of Amanda Szylo-Duncan to managing director.
Szylo-Duncan was previously executive strategy director and has been with the brand consultancy for more than five years.
As MD, Szylo-Duncan will be charged with running and growing Interbrand. As part of her remit, she will also continue to lead Interbrand's strategy department.
Interbrand AUNZ CEO, Nathan Birch, said over the years, Szylo-Duncan 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," said Birch.
"She’s invaluable to us, and I know she’ll excel in this leadership role as we continue to shape the future of brand thinking and creation in Australia.”
Szylo-Duncan said in the five years she's been with Interbrand, the team has never stood still.
"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," she said.
Dan Steiner and Rachel Driessen have also been promoted, to verbal identity director and mid-weight designer, respectively.
Steiner joined Interbrand three years ago as a senior writer, while Driessen has been with the team for just shy of three years.
Birch said Steiner'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," he said.
“Rachel came to us fresh out of uni as an intern, and has delighted us all as she’s grown into an exceptionally talented designer. She has absolutely earned this new role.”
All three promotions highlight Interbrand’s dedication to recognising and nurturing top talent.
