Dion’s industry experience in branding and art direction expands internationally. After finishing University in Melbourne, Dion ventured to Stockholm for just over six years where he was inspired and mentored by many talented creatives and brands, in both design and art direction.
He says, “I am most definitely influenced by my time spent in Stockholm. The Swedes have a very individual design aesthetic, and this is something that has most definitely influenced the way I see and work, as a Designer to this day.”
Having been with the team for a few months now, Dion is already enjoying the variety of branding and art direction work that Dugan & O’Sullivan offers – alongside the agency culture and talented team.
Dion is a creative who finds inspiration in all things art and design. When he’s not working, he can be found taking in a film, listening to music and exploring photography and art. His collection of art books has grown exponentially through the pandemic, a source of inspiration to immerse himself in.
We are excited to introduce Dion Amor and welcome him to the Dugan & O’Sullivan team.

When asked about their work with McCormack, Darcy O’Sullivan, Managing Partner at Dugan & O’Sullivan, reflects “from the moment we met the leadership team, the potential for a thriving partnership between ourselves and McCormack was obvious.”
McCormack is a long-standing, very successful and well-respected company with a considerable presence across Victoria and in turn Melbourne. Dugan & O’Sullivan are excited to grasp the opportunity to position McCormack in the market with even more clarity and relevance than they have achieved so far. Darcy feels “the McCormack team are doing so many things right. They’re already doing the hard yards. We simply identified a greater opportunity for their brand. Allowing us to do some of the heavy lifting for them will free them up to continue to work in and grow their business.”
Watch this space for their upcoming rebrand, a brand set to fly in 2022 and beyond.

The brainchild of brothers Brian, Peter and Ray Chamberlain, the foundation is focused on raising awareness about the importance of mental wellness; particularly critical to first response and emergency services workers.
A worthy brand, with a loyal following, aligning closely with Dugan & O’Sullivan’s values of working towards ‘something bigger,’ the challenge to promote the Chamberlain Foundation’s 2021 Luncheon was an ideal project for our team to embrace. With the core objective to grow the uptake and acceptance of the luncheon’s invites from previous years – Dugan O’Sullivan set out to ‘push the boundaries beyond the expected.’
Dugan O’Sullivan expanded the brief of creating an engaging campaign for this annual event, taking a long-term view of the foundation’s prevention, support and advocacy work. We set out to create greater levels of sustainable engagement that would inspire and spur on a great number of people to support and promote the foundation amongst their personal social networks.
Samrai advocates that Dugan & O’Sullivan excelled by ‘picking out some of our best stories and showcasing them in a way that resonated with the social media audience the posts targeted.’ As a result of this collaboration numbers for the event, which have grown steadily each year since its debut, shot up dramatically. The far-reaching impact of this work is yet to be measured and as the Chamberlain Foundation evolves and expands its reach, time will be the teller.
