We are a branding and marketing company who tells visually captivating stories from our First Nations’ core.

As Aboriginal people, we are natural storytellers – it’s part of our makeup. As an Aboriginal-owned branding and marketing company, storytelling is our business.

We help others to tell their story in visually captivating ways. We do this by being the hands that write, that paint, that create; being the minds that ideate, being the voices that declare true identities and unleash a truly Australian existence.

We tell these stories through artwork, promotional products, office outfitting, Reconciliation Action Plan facilitations, community engagement, branding and much more.

Our storytelling compels by how people feel exhibiting it and responding to it, by what it looks like, by how clothes feel when they’re on, by who made the story, who crafted it and in the process of how it’s made.

Whatever we do, we do it in visually captivating ways that mean something and are true to who you are.

We are an Aboriginal owned and operated company. Our artists are First Nations – as are many in our team. We hire specifically-identified positions, and we hire non-Indigenous Australians including people of all cultures from around the world. We believe that reconciliation is a path we walk together.

How we function

At Ochre Dawn, we work a bit differently. We don’t express ourselves in hierarchies, boxes and straight lines; we express ourselves in story and art. That’s why we can best demonstrate how we work as a team in this piece of artwork. Our work flows and gathers, walks with teams and unites at our core. To succeed in this, we value communication with each other and with our clients. We are always looking at how we can improve the way we work – and we do this by sharing, story-telling and gathering around “campfires” to spark our creativity.

As an organisation we are innovative – ethical – creative – diverse – authentic – bespoke. As a team, we work amongst and between these values as best suits our roles.

As depicted in the artwork, there is a central place for gathering, and there are seats at the table for each team to be represented – and always room for our clients to join.

The staff that have a seat at the table, representing their teams are noted on our staff page with this icon.

The areas that are represented by these seats include Administration, Marketing, Operations, Sales, Creative and Governance.
