Bio
James Sutton
Nicky is an unbelievable asset to any team. Her incredible energy, initiative, drive and creative sensibilities make her a fantastic Project Manager. Having worked with her on both pitches and day-to-day accounts I can guarantee that she is the best Project Manager I have ever worked with, bar none. She knows how to keep the team motivated, shares creative views which improve the work, she can manage deadlines, and is the vital glue between creative and account teams. Her knowledge of project management, press production and art buying is very solid. I am sad to be losing Nicky as our creative producer, she is a rising star and I envy the team she ends up with.

I had the pleasure of working with Nicky when I was freelancing at Grey London. She is one of the best Project Managers/ Creative Producers that I have worked with during my agency career. To name but a few of her qualities - tenacious, drives projects forward, can quickly judge creative work, keeps the team organised and focused, forms quick and meaningful relationships with her team and manages suppliers well. I am looking forward to working with her again soon. She is setting the standard in her field.
