We’ve been bringing in new clients, growing our business with existing clients and winning top international awards for our creative work. So there’s never been a better time to hire someone to lead our new business charge. We’re delighted that Nicole has come to join the McCann tribe.”

Reid added: “New business success is about having the right talent, experience and attitude around you and I got a really good sense of that at McCann.  There’s an energy and excitement about where the agency is heading and the recent work as in the case of Survival Billboard for Xbox and True Match for L’Oreal. l’m looking forward to being a part of that and helping the agency continue to realise its full potential.”
