Welcome, Tarryn!
November 28, 2025
We’re sprinting to the finish line for 2025, and what better way to gear up for 2026 than by welcoming new talent to the team?
Starting a new role is never easy, but Tarryn has well and truly hit the ground running — and we couldn’t be happier to have her join the pack. With extensive global experience, fresh thinking, a hunger for big ideas and what’s shaping up to be an unbeatable level of positivity, she’s already making her mark. We’ve also discovered she’s a keen baker in her spare time (how this didn’t come up in the interview we’ll never know!) — and if we weren’t excited to have her before… we definitely are now. Just look at the cupcakes she brought in.
As always, Tarryn has shared a rundown of how her first week went with the pack. Take a read below:
Why Painted Dog? What attracted you to us?
I was drawn to Painted Dog because of its incredible mix of clients and its reputation for leading the pack in innovation. PD is known for being trailblazers in research and for their passion for people, which really resonates with me. Joining a team that’s not just chasing trends but setting them and doing it with heart, felt like the perfect fit
What are you most excited about / looking forward to in your role?
Excited to have joined the Painted Dog pack and to work alongside such a creative crew! I’m looking forward to collaborating, chasing bold ideas, and growing together to lead the pack in innovation. Can’t wait to be part of PD making big moves and leaving our paw prints all over the industry!
What was the highlight of your first week?
Delivering on my 1st PD Government proposal in my first week.
Best piece of advice you received from another staff member so far?
Be yourself!
