Fran Flynn

Lecturing on photography and design one day per week at Bond University since January 2025.

Following a move to the Gold Coast, I established Fran Flynn Photography & Design, specialising in strategic visual marketing for food, product and lifestyle brands. My work spans brand positioning, visual strategy and commercial content production for clients including IHG Group, Crowne Plaza, Peppers, ACP Magazines and Husk Distillers. I have also led the development of several multi award-winning cookbooks, leading strategy, photography and design for clients including Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat and The Fabulous Ladies Wine Society.

After a photography project in Namibia, I relocated to Byron Bay and established Frangipani Creative, a brand, design and visual marketing agency specialising in fashion and food brands. Alongside creative production, I advised clients on brand positioning and campaign strategy, working with brands including Lisa Blue Swimwear and Byron Bay Coffee Company. During this period I also taught design and photography courses for SAE Institute and Le Cordon Bleu.

During the dot-com boom in Sydney I held senior creative roles with progressive digital agencies. As Creative Director at K*Grind I led the company’s pivot from a broadband youth media platform to online campaign development for clients including PlayStation, Red Bull and Singtel. I later worked at Nemas delivering digital and brand projects for corporate, pharmaceutical and public sector clients including the City of Sydney.

I spent several years travelling internationally while undertaking contract roles in London and Sydney, with repeat engagements for agencies including Reid Business Communications (London) and Marketing Drive (Sydney). During this period I worked on BTL campaigns and brand activations for United Distillers & Vintners brands including Baileys, Bundaberg Rum and Stolichnaya Vodka, as well as marketing campaigns for a major theatre group.
