Our leadership team
Ian Mason
Founder, Creative Director, PDINZ
Ian started The Brandery in 2014, to cater for marketers and business owners needing a creative plug in agency that didn’t feel like one.
A straight talker, his mantra is to find the truth of your product or service, and then tell that truth in an accessible and visually compelling way. While a talented designer himself, he firmly believes in hiring people much better than him, and managing people and processes with a keen eye for detail.
A keen outdoorsman, when he’s not working he’ll be on his next adventure in the bush or on the boat, or chilling with his family.
Dan Yamada
Art Director
Since starting with us in 2016, Dan has been our cornerstone design talent. Never one to stop learning, his creative skill set is huge, with the ability to produce great work across a huge array of mediums.
Even through challenges like being overseas when the borders closed during COVID, he made it work and is now based full time in Brazil. He proves 12,213km and a huge time difference is nothing compared to the power or fibre internet and caffeine.
Our wider team
Stuart Bermingham
Senior Developer
Stuart builds and hosts all of our digital solutions. A very talented web developer that builds everything with best-practice as top priority.
Joao Pedro Bamonte
Designer
Joao plugs in when we need an extra pair of hands. He has a huge skillset covering print, web, video editing and animation.
Dexter Mason
Director of Morale
Typically his responsibilities include feet warming and reminders to get up and stretch regularly. His instagram is probably the best thing on the internet.
