Actually a Nikolai, but Nick is good too. No Russian heritage just an imaginative mother. 15 years experience across traditional and innovation-led agencies, including both Campaign Agencies of the Decade - a unique skillset.

I lead accounts, write on others. I love cracking big platfrom ideas, like on Nike, Google, Hyundai, Land Rover, Samsung, Malaria No More, Lexus and most recently Coca-Cola. Doing work that entertains or empowers is important. And if it has an interesting tech, digital or social edge, even better. Brand down, culture up, that’s the sweet spot.

Proud to be a founding member of the Malaria Creative Community. Started with David Beckham and ended with speaking at the UN Global Fund conference. Post Covid I helped half a million immunocompromised people get the treatment they needed - a campaign that became permanently exhibited in two national museums. In a bizarre turn of events I created a few of the games for ITV’s The Cube. Currently writing a sitcom about a pet courier service.

And weaknesses? Well, thinking a sitcom about a pet courier service is a good idea.
