About Us


Bruni Dunn was established in June 2008 by Dino Bruni and Lachie Dunn. Both have extensive experience working on both big and small retail accounts – Dino having also worked ‘client-side’ as the Marketing Manager for Myer, while Lachie brings almost 20 years of retail creativity to the partnership.

Our philosophy from the outset has always been to create fresh ideas that not only build brands but keep the cash registers ringing. As a result our work is as much strategically fuelled as it is creatively driven.

Our first client, the House of Golf, was a busy retail business and we have proudly positioned our agency in the retail communications space ever since.

We don’t want to be the biggest agency in town because we believe that the directors of the agency should be involved in the daily servicing of our client accounts.

The fact that the agency was born in the heat of the GFC gives us important insights into delivering cost-effective, accountable campaigns across a wide range of media.

Our approach has been embraced by a range of brands and retailers. Today we boast an enviable client list of well-known local and national retailers.

With a long history at the senior level of some of Australia’s leading advertising agencies, including 13 years at Y&R Advertising as a Group Account Director, Dino has also worked in a senior marketing role at Myer.

Dino’s client management account experience list is long, incorporating a wide variety of industries. Key accounts include Tabcorp, AV Jennings Homes, Officeworks, Myer, Beaurepaires, Dunlop, Australian Defence Force (Army/Airforce), Vox Retail Group, Herald Sun, Autobarn, and the Australian Grand Prix.

At Myer, Dino contributed directly to the financial performance (sales and profitability) of the business by ensuring collaboration among various functions, and assisting in brand building efforts at the macro level.
