Dain Walker is a global branding strategist and the Founder of Rivyl, Australia’s fastest-growing brand agency. With a reputation for building brands that don’t just look good but scale fast, Dain helps founders and CEOs dominate their market with clarity, confidence and edge.

He is the bestselling author of The 90 Day Brand Plan (Wiley), a hands-on playbook for personal and business branding, designed for founders ready to take their company from overlooked to category leader. Dain’s branding frameworks are used by companies across four continents, from early-stage startups to billion-dollar giants.

Dain also hosts The Agency Podcast, Australia’s #1 show on branding and business, with over 166,000 subscribers and more than 2 million monthly views. The show unpacks real-world lessons from world-class operators, creating a global platform for founders serious about scaling.

Through his personal brand, Dain has grown an audience of 1.2 million followers, with over 16 million impressions per month and reach across more than 100 countries. Known for his punchy, unfiltered content style, he’s led a new wave of business education by turning complex ideas into simple, actionable strategies. No fluff. No filler.

His agency, Rivyl, has delivered brand transformations for names like Culture Kings, Who Is Elijah, Nutrition Warehouse and dozens more across fashion, wellness, tech, hospitality and eCommerce. With a 30+ person team across strategy, design and development, Rivyl turns brand chaos into clarity.

In 2025, Dain launched Rivyl Holdings, a multi-division platform designed to build, fund and scale modern brands. It includes:

• Rivyl Media, a content production company powering The Agency Podcast and founder-led media brands
• Rivyl Fund, a private investment arm that takes equity in scale-ups and delivers branding, growth and strategy in exchange for upside

Dain has delivered keynotes on stages across the globe—including Europe, the Americas and Asia-Pacific—sharing the stage with the likes of Tom Brady, Gary Vaynerchuk, Steven Bartlett, Simon Squibb, Tai Lopez and Seth Godin. His impact is global, but his message is direct: average branding is a crime. Clarity is the fastest way to scale.

What started as a graphic designer at the age of 13 with a chip on his shoulder has turned into one of the most followed branding voices on the planet. Today, Dain is building more than a brand. He’s building the infrastructure for a new generation of strategy-led, media-powered, founder-first companies.
