About Tripod

Where strategy, growing capability and execution come together.

Since founding Tripod more than a decade ago, we’ve been driving change within teams and their marketing efforts to step change businesses for the better. As former leaders within blue-chip organisations like Qantas, Diageo, Lion and Procter & Gamble, we’ve perfected the art and science of marketing using proven frameworks, tools, processes – and our unique hands-on approach. From well-known names to growing brands, we’ve helped clients like Coca-Cola, Treasury Wine Estates, Chobani, Archie Rose Distilling Co. and Glasshouse Fragrances to supercharge success from the inside out. Whether it’s an end-to-end solution or a specific focus of change needed, we’ll bring a breadth of experience, flexible working styles and commitment to delivering business outcomes as if we were a part of your team.

Our clients

From global FMCGs to fast-growing local brands, our clients entrust us to produce work that drives demand and delivers results.

  • Tripod understands us better than we do and adds tremendous value to our business’ growth and strategic positioning.

    The team has been working with us for many years, supporting us initially to define our marketing strategy, brand identity and positioning for our leadership consultancy Serendis Leadership and our HR Tech business MentorKey. They then assisted us with the development of a comprehensive communications plan which has been invaluable. They have the unique ability to facilitate the discussion for our team to find the answers and at the same time, guide us on the right track.
