I’ve worked with Nick briefly as a suit at BBH, but more recently as a client in his role as CCO of News UK. Therefore I can say with a degree of expertise that Nick is a rarity. In the best possible way.

 A smart, strategic and creative thinker, with a love of big ideas and a deep understanding of the craft needed to make them great and keep things fresh. This, coupled with an ability to negotiate complex internal organizational structures such as News UK, while keeping these ideas not just intact, but award winning, is a skill few possess.

 Another rare skill is Nick’s ability to construct diverse teams, often putting unusual groups of people together to let the best creative ideas flourish.

 Over the three years that I worked with Nick he was as much a creative partner as he was a client. His instinct, judgment and passion for great work in any shape or form rivals any creative I’ve worked with. It was a relationship that I’m incredibly proud to have been part of. I would quite gladly blow smoke up his arse all day long. Long live Nick Stringer
