Madel Dalla Pria isn’t just the founder of Brandlytix; she’s the sharp, strategic mind behind every smart campaign and brand breakthrough we deliver.

With a background spanning visual design, marketing education, and national-level leadership, Madel brings a rare mix of left-brain logic and right-brain creativity to the table.

In short: she’s the strategist you want in your corner, turning complex business goals into authentic brand stories.

Roots

A Pencil, a Plan, and a Solid Foundation.

Madel’s story begins where many good design stories do: with a pencil and a plan.

She studied Visual Communication at the University of Pretoria, sharpened her teaching chops with a postgraduate qualification from the University of Johannesburg, and rounded out her business savvy with advanced marketing studies through the IMM Graduate School.

It’s a rare mix of academic depth and practical insight that shows in everything she does.

Journey

From Print to the Digital Frontier.

Her career kicked off in graphic design and print production, where she learned how to make things beautiful and make them work.

From there, she ventured into the promotional gifts industry, fine-tuning her understanding of customer behavior. But the real turning point came in 2012, when she leapt head-first into the digital space.

Since then, Madel has worn many hats: strategist, content creator, copywriter, and—her personal favorite—marketing problem-solver.

Authority

She Literally Wrote the Book on It

(04)

Madel is no stranger to the lecture hall.
Over the past decade, she’s written course material for institutions like Boston, Edge Learning Media, and IMM, covering everything from Brand Management to PR, Journalism, and Graphic Design.

She even co-authored two PR textbooks in 2014.

This deep educational background ensures that the strategies Brandlytix delivers are rooted in proven principles and industry best practices.

Impact

Strategy from the Boardroom to the Building Site.

In 2017, Madel steered her career into the male-dominated world of construction equipment.

As the national marketing manager for industry giants like Bobcat, Sany, Sullair, and Tennant, she led complex marketing operations across South Africa.

This experience proved that strategy and storytelling don’t just belong in boutiques - they belong on building sites and in heavy industry too.

Mantra

Analytical Precision Meets Genuine Warmth

What sets Madel apart is the way she fuses analytical precision with genuine warmth.

She’s deeply invested in her clients’ success, with a work ethic rooted in structure and a dash of caffeine-fuelled perfectionism.

Her mantra? Make it matter. If a brand doesn’t resonate, it’s just noise—and Madel has no time for noise. She brings relentless drive to help brands communicate better, smarter, and more authentically.

Fuel

Chaos, Magic, and the Garden Route

Behind the strategy decks is a woman powered by her family. Madel is a proud mom to a "pigeon pair"—a future scientist/rockstar and a budding fashion designer.

Their adventures together are equal parts chaos and magic. When she isn't crafting campaigns, you’ll find her recharging on the Garden Route.

These moments in nature and travel inspire the fresh ideas that help her clients’ businesses grow.
