Meet Bodie Meet Bodie Director
Bodie Czeladka
Meet Bodie

Alright, Alright Alright. Bodie here, surfer, caravanner, husband and devoted dad of two little frothers. I founded Dilate Digital from a home theatre room in 2012 and worked solo until hiring our first Dilate legend in early 2014. Since then I have slowly replaced myself with the best minds I could find with the goal of instilling a sense of purpose, belonging and the Dilate values in each of these special souls. To find out what lights their fires and guide them in the direction of it. There is a little bit of magic here at Dilate and it comes from the collective energy and vibe of our people. It is these special humans who have built the most thorough, driven, innovative and transparent agency. We truly, deeply care about the businesses we work with, and are believers in the partnership. We work for the success of our clients, because their success is ours. You can make all the money in the world, but you only get one reputation and it is with that sentiment I go to work everyday to help the many partners that have entrusted their business with Dilate. The Dilate Digital family now has the privilege of employing over 100 + superstars world wide and this is just the start. I believe the best of me is still hiding up my sleeve.

Meet Tom Meet Tom Director
Tom Parker
Meet Tom

I wake up each morning to Inspire & Teach Small Business owners to achieve their potential, by aligning Marketing Strategy with overall Business Strategy. A CPA and business advisor with 14 years experience working with SME’s. I‘ve loved helping my clients grow over the years, beit through marketing, brand development, systems and business strategy. In a world where running a business is tough and getting tougher, as well as being constantly on the move, I love to challenge the “status quo” - and learn to love new things. My wife and 3 kids are my number ones. Outside of work, I love being with them and being outside in general, doing anything from building cubby houses to pizza ovens. And yes, I loved learning how to build those too…

Meet Rob Meet Rob Head of Growth
Roberto Boi
Meet Rob

Ciao! I'm Rob, the Head of Growth at our agency, and I've been working in the industry for 15 years. I'm a proud Italian-Australian, and my passion for marketing has led me to help hundreds of businesses design their customer journey and develop top-notch marketing campaigns.

When I'm not working, you'll probably find me playing and coaching Futsal, a great way to stay active and unwind.

Music is also a big part of my life, especially golden age hip hop and R&B. There's nothing like a great beat and some smooth lyrics to get me in the zone.

Overall, I pride myself on being a fun-loving, creative, and knowledgeable marketing expert who's always looking for new ways to innovate and make a positive impact. Whether it's crafting the perfect customer experience or curating the ultimate playlist, I'm always up for a challenge and ready to take on the world!

Head of Technology
Travis Weerts
Meet Trav
Meet Mark Meet Mark Pod Lead / Head of Strategy
Mark Noakes
Meet Mark

Hey, I’m Mark. I like to keep things moving—growth, new ideas, the next step forward. Sitting still isn't really my thing. As Pod Lead and Head of Strategy at dilate, I work with the team to build businesses that grow, adapt, and stand out in all the right ways. Every client gets treated like they’re my own business, because that’s just how I operate. I don't have time for fluff, or gimmicks, just real strategies that work.

I believe in keeping it real, doing right by people, and making sure the work actually works. But as much as I thrive in the fast-paced world of digital marketing, I know the best ideas don’t always come from a desk. That’s why I make space for the slow moments—salty air, long hikes, a little perspective.

At the end of the day, nothing beats my son’s giggles, my wife’s smile, and my golden retriever’s endless enthusiasm. That’s what keeps me grounded—so I can keep pushing forward.

Meet Brendon Meet Brendon Pod Lead / Head of Organic marketing
Brendon Crouch
Meet Brendon

Hey, I’m Brendon. I'm currently leading the Pod 2 team here at Dilate who are an incredible group of people. Despite my incredibly dry humour, I have a love for experiencing life and making each day count!

I've worked on hundreds of businesses over the years and so I want to use this platform to pass along some of my hard-earned experience to help others with the tips & tricks that I use to get the most out of my campaigns every day.

If you want to get me excited, then I love helping businesses make the most of their marketing and get leads through the door. I love nothing better than that perfect upwards trendline. But marketing isn’t just a numbers game, it's all about people behind the businesses and their customers, and that's what makes it fun.

I'm also a Dad to 3 little ratbags, a baker of sourdough bread, home fermentation experimenter, amateur woodworker, occasional skateboarder and before I settled in at Dilate I spent 2 years travelling through South-east Asia & Europe and so I always love to reminice about the good ol' days.

Always happy to have a chat in person too 🙂

Meet Chris Meet Chris Pod Lead / Head of Paid Advertising
Chris Paterniti
Meet Chris

G’day, Chris from Dilate here. Father of a beautiful daughter and 2 beautiful cats, 80’s music lover, digital marketing nut, passion junkie, video game geek and seeker of good times. My approach to digital marketing is right at the core of most businesses - to cut through the sh** and focus on what really matters. Full stop. And then grow. I also love giving back to the community and current marketing students.

In my spare time I love relaxing, spending time with loved ones or getting away for a cheeky 4x4 trip!

I think the digital media, marketing and AI space are growing at huge rates and it is SUPER exciting. There is SO much to learn and plenty of growth for all businesses and individuals together.

Hey There, Deb here from People Operations, I love my role here at Dilate as put simply I am passionate about people. Culture is king in my book and being able to contribute to making Dilate a great place to work is my goal. Having a clear mission and values ensures that everyone in the team is rowing in the same direction. By provinding a transparent interview process and comprehensive onboarding and ongoing professional development I aim to set our most values assets- our people- up for success.
Personally I am always trying to sprinkle kindness where ever I can. If you ever need a hug I'm your girl!

Caroline Wardrope
Meet Caroline
Meet Maher Meet Maher Discovery Manager
Maher Hejleh
Meet Maher

Hi, I’m Maher, Discovery Manager at Dilate Digital, born and raised in Perth with deep Palestinian roots. My passion for business and marketing has shaped my career, leading me to roles as a Marketing Manager and Consultant for an international consulting agency before finding my place at Dilate Digital. Alongside my work here, my wife and I run a wedding and event styling business where we help people celebrate special moments in their life.

Family is at the core of everything I do, driving me to always strive for balance and growth. I’m also passionate about personal development and like to think of myself as a student of life. I believe that constantly evolving and growing in both my personal and professional life is key to success, and whether it’s through work or my personal hobbies, I’m always looking for ways to learn something new.

When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me relaxing in a sauna, plunging into an ice bath, or exploring new destinations around the world. At Dilate Digital, I’m committed to helping you discover winning strategies that lead to meaningful success.

Meet Charlie Meet Charlie Lead Digital Strategist
Charlie Pemberton
Meet Charlie

Hey I’m Charlie! As someone who has their hands in many different creative endeavours, I'm always looking for innovative ways to create business for our clients. At Dilate Digital I'm a digital marketing account manager who loves problem solving in a creative and analytical context. The world of digital marketing is constantly expanding. Finding new and interesting avenues to explore on a daily basis is what really keeps me going! Outside of work, you'll find me buried behind my laptop working on music, watching films, or out searching for the best cafés in town.

Meet Beth Meet Beth Lead Copywriter
Beth Weiss
Meet Beth

Hi there! My name is Beth and I'm the Lead Copywriter at Dilate.

Writing has always been my favourite thing to do since early childhood. I completed a double Bachelor's degree in Media & Communications and English Studies, later pursuing a Masters in Professional Writing and Publishing.

I love working closely with clients to craft unique solutions that align with their goals. I believe every brand has a story worth telling, and my role is to help tell it in a way that truly connects with their audience. At Dilate, I also lead an amazing team of copywriters, supporting them in creating meaningful, impactful work.

At the end of the day, I’m driven by the belief that words can turn ideas into action, and I’m honoured to help bring those ideas to life. Whether it’s shaping a brand voice or refining messaging, I’m all about delivering results that inspire connection and drive impact.

When I'm not busy typing away, you can find me sipping iced lattes, watching A24 flicks, or hanging with my furry daughter Frankie (a frequent visitor at Dilate HQ).

Meet Ash Meet Ash Senior Content Strategist
Ashleigh Kelly
Meet Ash

Hey, I’m Ash!

I’m a very tall, constantly caffeinated Senior Content Strategist and self-proclaimed pun queen here at Dilate. I thrive on telling brand stories in engaging and impactful ways, and can’t wait to tell yours!

From dreaming of being an author as a kid to studying journalism and professional writing, I eventually found my passion for all things digital through a Master of Marketing, but I never lost that love for words and stories!

Storytelling really is the core of everything we do as humans. It’s how we connect, whether we’re joking with our loved ones, communicating with strangers, or even crafting the perfect Instagram feed. Tapping into that emotional element and finding ways to help clients connect with their audience in meaningful ways is so rewarding and what I love most about my job.

When I’m not getting stuck into content strategy, you can find me drinking a glass of red with the gals (with a charcuterie board, obviously), getting my hands dirty with some pottery, or chilling at the park with a good book and a good coffee.

Meet Chelsea Meet Chelsea Lead Digital Producer
Chelsea Knoll
Meet Chelsea

Howdy partner, I’m Chels! Self-proclaimed master of Dad jokes, Korean BBQ enthusiast and lover of all things dog-related.

But enough about me, let me tell you a joke: What do you call a man in a letterbox? Bill. (I know, I know, I'll stick to my day job...)

After working in outdoor advertising for a few years, I found my true passion and home at Dilate as a Digital Producer. Bringing websites to life and unleashing creativity in an ever-changing, ever-growing environment is what makes me tick. No two days (or websites in my case) are the same, which gives the team and I the freedom to showcase our clients' businesses in unique and exciting ways.
When I'm not busy at work, you can catch me running around after my two fur babies, Lenny and Tequila. They have an irresistible cuteness that tends to steal the spotlight.

So if you ever need a good laugh or a dining companion, look no further. Just be warned - my jokes might make you groan.

Meet Dakota Meet Dakota Digital Strategist
Dakota Stanes
Meet Dakota

Hey hey! My name is Dakota, I’m a digital strategist here at Dilate - this means I’m the eyes and ears for all of my clients, making sure we’re kicking down goals and looking for new ways to grow!

I'm someone who is always looking to learn, and fresh out of uni I was on the hunt for exactly that. While I knew an agency would be the best place for me to land, Dilate has been more than I could have ever imagined when it comes to innovating and lighting the path forward in the world of digital marketing. Whether we're pulling together a killer paid ads campaign, or mapping out the path forward in the world of SEO, I'm always ready to take on a new challenge and help my clients get to the next level.

The thing i love most about working at Dilate is that every day presents a new challenge to take on. No two days are the same, and in the time I've worked here I have never been bored thats for sure!

If theres ONE thing you need to know about me, its that I'm a big people person. I love my people, (in both work and life), so every spare second I get will be spent with those who get me out of bed in the morning. When I'm not at work doing what I do best, you can catch me going out with my girlfriends for a cheeky spritz, taking my pup to the local beach, or kicking it with my loved ones for some RNR (even if that means waking up at 3am because my partner is watching the football).

The most recent thing I'm trying to do to better myself is get into pilates - I'm far from being good but I'm trying one step at a time!

Meet Giulia Meet Giulia Digital Producer
Giulia Brivio
Meet Giulia

Hi, I’m Giulia, a Digital Producer!
Originally from Italy, I spent five years in France before setting off to explore Australia. After traveling the country, I moved back to Italy for a few years—only to find myself drawn back to Australia once again. Why? Because I fell in love—with Australia and an Australian guy I met along the way!

I’m a bit of a mix between a planner and a creative, which makes working on websites the perfect job for me. I get to organise all the moving parts while bringing ideas to life—best of both worlds!

When I’m not behind a screen, you’ll find me soaking up the sun at the beach, hanging out in the garden, or chasing after my little one and our big, beautiful black dog, Nahla, who came with me from Italy.

Meet Ines Meet Ines Senior Digital Strategist
Inês Cortez
Meet Ines

Hey, I’m Inês, a Senior Digital Strategist at Dilate and the go-to dog sitter for our office pups. Originally from Porto, Portugal, I made the move to Australia in 2017, but my love for home hasn’t faded. I get way too excited when people tell me they’re visiting Portugal and happily share all my Porto recommendations—though most betray me and go to Lisbon instead.

At work, I treat every client’s business like it’s my own, diving into strategy, problem-solving, and making sure we get results that actually matter. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me at the beach (every weekend, no exceptions), dominating at Catan, or plotting revenge on Lisbon tourists. And if you ever need a dog sitter—just say the word.

Meet Dan Meet Dan Video Producer
Daniel McDonald
Meet Dan

Hey, I'm Dan, the Video Producer here at Dilate.

I spend most of my time behind the camera, in an edit suite, or daydreaming about liberating the Ottoman siege of Vienna in one big cavalry charge. When I’m not caught up in historical hypotheticals, I specialise in turning ideas into polished, engaging content—whether it’s brand campaigns, social media videos, or making last-minute changes to the 16th version of a project because “one small tweak” always leads to another.

With a background in digital marketing and a love for storytelling, I focus on crafting videos that aren’t just visually sharp, but strategically effective. Whether it’s a high-energy ad, a sleek corporate piece, or something with a bit of personality, I make sure every project hits the mark.

Outside of work, I'm probably either planning my next travel trip, trying out a new recipe, playing a video game or watching the Saints ruin another year of my life.

Meet Jaimie Meet Jaimie Digital Producer
Jaimie Tse
Meet Jaimie

Kidire? Corek? Hey, how’s it going? I’m Jaimie and I’m from a sunny little paradise island called Mauritius. I left my tropical home and moved to Perth about 15 years ago in pursuit of my dream to live in a “big” city!

As a Digital Producer at Dilate Digital, I dive into the digital world with my design and marketing background, teaming up closely with clients to make their website dreams come true and give their online businesses the ultimate boost.

I was fortunate to discover Dilate Digital during a mentorship program, and I instantly connected with the incredible team. They welcomed me with open arms, and now I proudly consider Dilate my second family.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me snuggled up with my cats, enjoying a hot cup of tea. I also love spending time at the beach, lost in a great book, or having brunch with close friends. And if I'm looking for an extra thrill, you might even catch me doing some death defying moves on aerial silks or lyra!

Meet Kate Meet Kate Copywriter
Kate McClure
Meet Kate

What's the craic! My name is Kate, one of the Copywriters from Dilate. I moved over here from the wet and rainy Belfast way back in 2012, landed in Perth and graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and a Grad Cert in Forensic Psychology.

Anyone who knows me will tell you I'm a nut for anything to do with pop culture - from Marvel to Star Wars to good old Dungeons and Dragons, if it has swords, anything to do with fantasy, mythology or a good old musical, I will find a way to make it a facet of my personality.

When I'm not rolling some dice to terrorise my friends or writing content for you, I fill my time with a bit of sewing, a little hand embroidery, more than a spot of reading (three guesses on my favourite genre. Go!) and telling my big, fluffy lug of a cat, Freddie, to get off my side table before he knocks everything off. That and listening to Taylor Swift.

Luckily, that love for media and storytelling comes in handy with my job here at Dilate, so if you need someone to help tell your story, I'll help get your voices heard.

P.S. Tell your dog I said 'hi'

Meet Lauren Meet Lauren Content Strategist
Lauren Hale
Meet Lauren

Hey there!

I’m Lauren, a Content Strategist at Dilate. I enjoy helping brands tell their stories and engage with their audience in a meaningful and impactful way.

Outside of work, I am someone with a passion for learning. Whether it’s listening to an insightful psychology podcast, trying out a new hobby such as playing the piano, or simply just learning a new skill in the kitchen, i am always looking for ways to try new things and make myself a better human.

In my spare time, I enjoy working out, reading books, trying out new restaurants and cafes, and spending time with my family and friends. I also love traveling and discovering new places whenever I get the chance.

Meet Krishna Meet Krishna Lead SEO Strategist
Krishna Sri Ramakavacham
Meet Krishna

Holla, legends! I'm Krish, your friendly Lead SEO Strategist and a self-proclaimed "ping pong master" (although there might be some "friendly" debates about that here at Dilate).
Originally hailing from India, I've proudly called Australia my home for the past 8 years. I have an insatiable hunger for learning, always seeking out new challenges and stepping out of my comfort zone. The dynamic world of everything digital has me hooked due to its ever-evolving nature. There's a constant opportunity to learn and challenge the status quo.
In my eyes, data is the future; it's the driving force that will transform marketing into an advanced, purpose-driven tool. With the aid of data and AI, businesses are poised to achieve optimal results.
Outside of the Dilate realm, you'll find me immersed in coding, tending to my garden, or enjoying long strolls with my family.
Don't hesitate to reach out to me if you want to dive into SEO discussions, pick my brain, or simply say a friendly "hi" 🙂

Meet Luke Meet Luke Digital Strategist
Luke Smith
Meet Luke

Hey there! I'm Luke, one of the digital strategists here at Dilate. In a former life, I was a digital designer with a penchant for user experience—constantly getting lost in data rabbit holes and CRO case studies, trying to get to the bottom of what clients' customers were looking for and how we can help them find it.
From crafting visual identities and compelling copy, to creative campaigns and digital experiences, it's always been about the users and doing whatever I can to help you communicate with your audience in a way that resonates with them.

When I'm not glued to my computer, you'll find me hunting for a bargin on marketplace, restoring mid-century furniture or biting off more than I can chew with house reno's. Always with my partner and our adorable pup, Moby (arguably the best dog in the office).

Meet Mark Meet Mark Digital Strategist
Mark Wong
Meet Mark

Hey there! I’m Mark Wong, and I’m excited to be part of the Dilate team. With a deep passion for entrepreneurship, branding, and supporting small businesses, I’m always on the lookout for new opportunities and challenges.

Outside of work, I’m a classical music enthusiast who finds inspiration in nature, whether it’s feeling the wind in my hair or the sand beneath my feet. When I’m not soaking up the outdoors, you’ll likely find me experimenting in the kitchen or hosting dinner parties.

Fun fact: I spent over 20 years as a professional sailor and even campaigned for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games!

Thanks for stopping by to learn a little about me. Let’s create something incredible together!

Meet Mika Meet Mika Lead Content Strategist
Mika Francis
Meet Mika

Hey there! I’m Mika - Lead Content Strategist with a love for all things people, connection, and country music. I’m passionate about trying to make the world I touch a better place, and I’m grateful that I get to do that here at Dilate every day.

Within my role, branding and storytelling truly light my fire—I love helping clients rediscover the why behind what they do every day, then crafting that into a story that connects with the right people.

In my free time, you'll find me getting out and exploring our beautiful world in my little 4x4, reading, and spending quality time with the people I love (as well as my beautiful Aussie Shepherd, Koda)—all with my country tunes turned up loud (or at a live gig, whenever they pop up!).

Meet Anton Meet Anton Digital Strategist
Anton Southwell
Meet Anton

Yello, Anton here, Reformed League of Legends enjoyer and lover of all things Marketing. My role involves forming genuine connections with my amazing clients and becoming versed in industries I had previously never scratched the surface of. I wouldn't have it any other way. If there's surf about you can find me at Trigg Beach with the other 1000 black wetsuits out there. I look forward to working with you!

I graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor's Degree in Event Management & Public Relations. Previously I worked in the Organic & Public Relations Marketing space, I came to Dilate to join an amazing crew and learn more about the Paid & SEO Marketing space.

I consider myself an Extrovert and hence I love meeting new people and sharing stories, I'm always up for a cold one and a chat!

Meet Tanya Meet Tanya Senior Digital Strategist
Tanya Dharmapala
Meet Tanya

Hey! I’m Tanya, Senior Digital Strategist and two-time Dilate Bake-Off champion. Big fan of staying busy, balancing a lot of projects, and learning about all things digital! I’m currently working on some amazing brands, including Dilate’s own marketing, as part of the epic team that is Pod 1.

You’ll see me around the office sporting weird earrings, eating dumplings for breakfast, or rearranging my many, many dinosaur figurines.

I come originally from the world of indie filmmaking and chances are, you might hear from me on one of your Dilate video productions! From there, I shifted into traditional marketing (events and PR) before finally landing in digital with Dilate.

The thing I love about digital marketing is how it’s always changing. Just when you have a handle on things, BOOM, Google’s decided to get rid of cookies (and then not)! It’s an exciting challenge, one that changes client to client. So you’re always learning, growing and experimenting.

Meet Genie Meet Genie CS Socials /CW
Genie Long
Meet Genie

Hullo~ I’m Genie, a peculiar blend of content strategist and copywriter, currently wreaking havoc (according to John Wallace) in Dilates marketing team and on the socials. See a video of my co-workers being forced to be on camera on your timeline or feed? That's me causing their suffering! I have a deep love for forms of any kind, yet most of the time that love isn't shared by my co-workers and I end up having to threaten them in creative ways to get them filled out.
My journey with written words and the power they hold began early on in childhood when I first discovered that talking was in fact, not my strongest suit. I've loved writing ever since. I’m a tea-loving, rain-obsessed bookworm who believes movies are never as good as their book counterparts, and couldn’t tell you what the last TV program I watched was (does Escape to the Country count?). My life revolves around my adorable (son) red heeler, Humphrey B Bear (think bear cub, but fluffier), and a deep-seated aversion to coffee and sunshine. Having been a lifelong Collingwood supporter (thanks for that one, Dad), I’ve developed a knack for making unconventional decisions. Luckily, my writing skills have proven to be a little more successful than my footy picks.
So, after trading in a potential career as an English teacher for the glamorous world of marketing, I’ve never looked back.

Meet Tashian Meet Tashian Copywriter
Tashian Pierotti
Meet Tashian

Hey, I'm Tashian, and I write words for Dilate Digital.

I have a Bachelor of Commerce Majoring in Marketing and Advertising from Curtin University, where I graduated with Distinction. Yes, I’m as surprised as you are.

Here are some things I'm oddly fascinated with:

- brushing my teeth twice a day
- comparing data with completely irrelevant other data
- occasionally meowing
- eating cold lunches
- drinking room temperature water
- deliberately untying my shoelaces and gaslighting anyone who points it out
- lying

I like to make my coworkers wonder what's wrong with me, then I clock out before they can figure it out.

Meet Connor Meet Connor Lead Paid Advertiser
Connor Brown
Meet Connor

Hey there! I’m Connor Brown, the Lead Paid Advertiser and my role is to support our PPC Managers and Digital Strategists in running successful campaigns across paid platforms, driving growth for our clients.

I got into marketing after watching ‘The Gruen Transfer’ on ABC, a show that dissected clever marketing strategies and ads. I love the psychological aspects of marketing and enjoy diving into data to find the hidden insights.

Working in an agency environment excites me because it requires staying aware of everything, everywhere, all at once. This was stressful at first, but now I thrive in it. I specialise in advertising platforms and campaign strategy, understanding how users interact with social platforms to make our efforts more effective.

Outside of work, I’m married to the love of my life and a father of two young boys. I enjoy playing ice hockey, golf, and writing creatively, particularly through Dungeons and Dragons, which combines creativity and number crunching.

Meet Ben Meet Ben Digital Strategist
Benjamin Cheng
Meet Ben

Hey there!

I hope you are reading this with a nice hot cup in hand.

I'm Ben and one of the many experienced Digital Strategists here at Dilate Digital. My personal motivator everyday is looking to help those around me (including my clients) smash their goals and achieve the best version of themselves.

Originally from Singapore, I moved to beautiful Perth in 2003 and have since made a home here. I did however serve my time in National Service in Singpore and have a few stories to yarn about if you are ever interested!

As a Digital Strategist, I enjoy the thrill of problem solving, diving deep into the strategy for my clients and establishing clarity on how to grow the value of their business and align their goals to hit the next stage of growth that extends from to their business but also into their lives.

Outside of work, I am a father and husband to the most wonderful people in my life! I love getting the grind on at the gym, outdoors, Muay Thai, gaming and listening to Audible. (So don't be shy in recommending something good to me!)

ouuuuweeeeee ~

Meet Adam Meet Adam Digital Producer
Adam Demarti
Meet Adam

Hi there, I’m Adam, Digital Producer. Always up for a creative challenge, I started with a Bachelor of Design and ended up in the exciting world of Digital Marketing here at Dilate.

When I’m not producing your websites, I create illustrations in the niche hand-painted movie poster industry. Here, I have had the pleasure of painting official posters and limited edition collector’s prints for galleries.

If that didn’t make it obvious enough, I love my movies. Those who know me know I spend an embarrassing amount of time curating my Letterboxd account (very cool of me, I know). I’m also a die-hard Carlton fan, which, I hope, to be an indication of my good character and loyalty!

Deep down, however, my greatest passion in life is sausage rolls. If you’re reading this, please give me your sausage roll recommendations.

Meet Jesse Meet Jesse Copywriter
Jesse Flint
Meet Jesse

G’day, Blue – the name’s Jesse, and I’m one of the copywriters here at Dilate. When I’m not stirring up the office with my loud Aussie charm, you’ll find me at my desk, quietly shaping words and making your content better every day.

I’m an oddball with an eclectic mix of interests – from MMA fanatic to avid poetry reader – but the one constant that keeps me (somewhat) sane is writing. As my old fishing buddy Confucius once said, “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life." For me, that love is writing, and the job is creating content that connects with your audience and helps your business grow.

Meet Kieron Meet Kieron Operations Manager
Kieron Sandhu
Meet Kieron

Howdy Doodly! I'm Kieron, the Operations Manager at Dilate 🦄. I'm a freak in the (Google) Sheets and a fanatic for flawless systems. My mission? To make a meaningful impact on my teams life, measured by the quality of their sleep each night.

Processes, systems, technology, flowcharts, and formulas are in my DNA—they're how I turn dreams into reality.

When I'm not deep in the tech trenches visualising life in 0's and 1's, you'll find me pouring my heart into sim racing. Whether it's hands-on in a 12-hour endurance race or diving into data sets and telemetry to extract the best from drivers and their cars, this is where my heart feels at peace.

Meet Mush Meet Mush Content Strategist
Mahashveen Muruges
Meet Mush

Hey, I’m Mahashveen, but you can call me Mush.

Not so long ago, I was busy shaking cocktails and managing a premium bar in Perth, but these days, I’m mixing up creative strategies that help brands stand out and stay ahead. Turns out, crafting the perfect cocktail and a standout marketing campaign have a lot in common: the right ingredients, a bold twist, and a little bit of flair!

I studied Marketing and Management at uni, but my real passion? Finding creative, innovative ways to help businesses cut through the noise and make an impact. As a content strategist at Dilate, I live for pushing boundaries, breaking the mould, and making sure your message doesn’t just land, it sticks.

When I’m not deep in marketing mode, you’ll probably find me screaming at my TV because… well Ferrari (save us Lewis), the Lakers bringing back showtime (S/O Lebron), or Manchester United taking me on an emotional rollercoaster…

Music is a non-negotiable, I’ve always got at least one headphone in, usually vibing to a 2000’s throwback or whatever just dropped. I also love a solid one liner, a spicy hot take, and any excuse to brainstorm the next big marketing move that’ll break the internet. Got ideas? Let’s chat!

Meet Maia Meet Maia Content Strategist
Maia Gillespie
Meet Maia

Hi, my name is Maia, and I’m a Content Strategist here at Dilate.

Originally from sunny (but mostly rainy) England, I made the move from the hustle and bustle of the Big Smoke to the relaxed beach life of Perth in August 2024. As a dual citizen of Australia and England, it was only a matter of time before I swapped drizzle for ocean dips and finally got my much-needed dose of vitamin D.

I’ve had the travel bug for as long as I can remember, always on the hunt for new places to explore—whether it’s hopping on a plane to somewhere new, getting lost in a good book, or setting off on a long walk (or a short run, if I’m feeling ambitious). When I’m not on the move, you’ll probably find me with a cold beer or the occasional Aperol Spritz in hand, soaking up the sunshine and making the most of Perth’s laid-back lifestyle.

With a degree in Linguistics and Anthropology, I found my way into the world of marketing straight after uni, working in-house before making the exciting leap into the fast-paced agency life. I love crafting websites that truly connect with people, brainstorming creative strategies, and helping brands bring their stories to life.

When I’m not knee-deep in content, you’ll find me discovering new cafes, basking in the Perth sunshine, or reminding my UK mates just how much better the weather is over here.

Meet Nat Meet Nat Content Strategist
Natalie Chua
Meet Nat

Hey hey~ I'm Natalie! I'm a content strategist at Dilate, and I focus on creating and strategising content that resonates, engages, and drives results for my clients. Every day, I’m looking for new ways to help brands grow organically and connect with their audiences in meaningful ways.

Originally from sunny Singapore, I moved to Perth to pursue a marketing degree at UWA. After graduating, I found my role at Dilate, where I’m able to combine my passion for branding and creative problem-solving to help clients tell their stories effectively.

When I'm not strategising content, I’m all about anything creative—from pottery painting to digital art. I’m also a huge Disney fan and can name any Disney song within the first 3 seconds. And yes—I'm at a perfectly acceptable age to still be obessed with Disney.

Meet Mitch

Hey I'm Mitch, i'm a Digital Strategist here at Dilate.

I got into marketing at 16 when I handed out a stack of resumès and no one hired me. My goal was to make $500 by the end of the summer holidays. With 3 weeks left, no job, I spent countless hours scheming. Not long after I devised a plan, opened a Shopify store and within the first 72 hours I smashed that goal. Ever since then I fell in love with Marketing.

Outside of work I do the same thing as I did growing up. Getting lost for hours obsessing over a topic. If i’m not taking notes on my computer about something. Then you can find at my MMA gym pressed against the cage or right in the centre of the octagon.

Meet Chloe

Howdy! I’m Chloe, the Office Admin at Dilate Digital - aka the go-to person for literally anything and the official supplier of lollies (because a sugar boost is always required at 3pm). Whether I’m planning fun office events, keeping things organised, or answering an endless stream of questions, I do my best to keep things running smoothly - while talking a lot, sometimes on topic, but mostly not.

Outside of work, I’m a bookworm on a mission to read 100 books a year, a Nintendo Switch and F1 enthusiast, and a former Taekwondo black belt (strong emphasis on former but yes, I'll still brag about it). With a background in philosophy and English, I enjoy debating life’s big questions - mostly for fun, sometimes for existential dread. I also volunteer my time for causes I care about, because overthinking and making a difference IS the ultimate combo.

So, whether you need office help, a book recommendation, or a friendly ethics debate, I’m always up for a chat (and maybe a lolly or two).

Meet Punith

Hello, I'm Punith, I'm a digital strategist here at Dilate. Born and raised in Sri Lanka and recently moved to Perth WA. I've lived in the East for a couple of years hence the Aussie culture isn't completely alien to me.

I love my sports, I watch all sorts of sports and I am a quick learner. Some of the sports I follow closely are Cricket (yeah I contribute to the stereotype), Football and Formula 1(I've been following F1 well before Netflix was invented).
in addtion to the sports, I do love to sing at my leisure (mostly classics) and I would call myself a friendly easygoing person.

Outside of work, I've not found myself a routine just yet to best spend the time, but I have been spending a fair amount of time gardening lately so I guess I am discovering myself as I am entering my 30s. So lets see how it goes.

Meet Benny

Hey there, I’m Benny, Senior Digital Strategist and all-around digital adventurer. With a Bachelor's in Multimedia Technology and a career spanning television commercials, branding, and now digital strategy, I’ve spent my life at the intersection of creativity and data.

These days, I specialise in crafting seamless, data-driven strategies that connect user journeys across multiple marketing campaigns and funnels. My mission? To optimise conversions, enhance brand presence, and turn strategic insights into measurable growth. Because in the end, people don’t just buy products; they buy stories, emotions, and transformation.

I believe in storytelling that sells, leadership with integrity, and creating impact-driven growth. Whether it’s marketing, business, or faith, success comes from authenticity, persistence, and serving others with excellence.

Outside of work, you’ll find me on the badminton or table tennis court, strumming my guitar (but only remembering the chorus), or deep in the wilderness on a 4WD camping trip—where I somehow always overpack, just in case. I also have an unusual talent for turning any trip into an off-road adventure and insisting on cooking over an open fire, regardless of practicality.

If you ever want to talk digital strategy, swap camping stories, or debate whether movie soundtracks make the best playlists (they do), let’s chat!

Meet Connor

Hey there, I’m Connor! After five years of honing my skills as an in-house marketer, I’m excited to dive into the dynamic world of agency life. My passion for understanding what makes people tick has always driven me to create impactful digital marketing strategies, and I can’t wait to apply this in an agency setting.
Outside of work, music takes up most of my life. From going along to support friends to organizing events across the city, I’m always immersed. There’s something incredibly rewarding about bringing people together through music and creating unforgettable experiences.
I’m also a big fan of socializing and catching up with friends. Most Friday nights, you’ll find me at the North Perth Bowls Club, enjoying the footy and the great company. Whether it’s strategizing for a marketing campaign or planning the next music event, I’m all about connecting with people and making every moment count.
