Nicola Bell new boss of Saatchis NZ
Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand has a new CEO with Kiwi Nicola Bell returning home after ten years in the US at Ogilvy New York.
She replaces Andrew Stone.
Ian Rowden, Chairman and CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi Asia Pacific, said: “In Nicola we have a leader who brings a vast global perspective, an impressive track record of client partnership with some of the world’s best known brands, extensive experience in brand transformation and integrated communications, and a passionate eye for game-changing creativity.”
Bell said: “There is no doubt this is an exciting and challenging time in our business. The era of participation advertising has empowered consumers, and given them a significant voice. In this intimate but fragmented media age, we must enable and drive even higher levels of engagement.”
Hasn’t Nic done well for herself? I’ll always remember her (as will all at Sydney’s O&M back in the 90’s) as the cool, composed, unflappable suit with nair a hair out of place, ever. Congratulations.
Hi Westy – Fifi here – Andrew just sent this thru to me – Hasn’t Miss Bell done well for herself – she deserves it so very much. She was such an amazing person to work with at O&M. I have no doubt she will sore to even greater heights. Fifi. x
Hey Fifi,
Been a long time. Seems we’ve got this comment section to ourselves!
I’m now a billionaire*, divorced 5 times* and have 15 grandkids*. Bet our Nic doesn’t have that!
*this is all untrue
C’mon ex O&M, support our Nic (coz she’s ours and we helped her along the way).
