Time in current role: I’ve been part
of the Pooch Perfect dream team
for about six months, but it feels like
I’ve worked here my whole life.

How would you describe what
the company does? Much like
Disneyland, we make dreams come
true. We give pet stylists around the
nation a platform to show Australia
what they’ve got.

What do you do day to day?
Keep the bitches on track and
bring the laughs to set mainly.
All jokes aside, I give my doggy
critique to the pup styling that
happens in the show.

I got into television because...
the moment I knew I was born for
TV was when I was the only one at
doggy day care who was strutting
my stuff for people watching in
the window.

Who is your right-hand person?
Rebel Wilson is the ying to my
yang, Snoop to my Dogg, Lady
to my Tramp, but also the ever-
talented executive producers, Deb
Spinocchia and John Karabelas.

Whose job have you set your sights
on in the future? I’m aiming high,
to be one of the Queen’s dogs.

My favourite advert is: The Pooch
Perfect promo. So many good boys
and you can even spot yours truly.

My best trick is: The high-five.
People go barking mad for it.

Tell us one thing people at work
don’t know about you? I buried
a bone on set during filming.
I also auditioned to play Baxter in
Anchorman when I heard it involved
eating a wheel of cheese. Find me
on Instagram: @RussellTheBrussel.

We look at our furry


friends across the


advertising, adtech,


marketing and media


sector, shedding


light on these stars


and how they help


adland get results.


This month we speak


to Rebel Wilson’s


boss on Pooch Perfect,


Russell the Brussell,


at Channel Seven.
