Clems Melbourne Appoints Nicole Sykes As Creative Director

Clemenger BBDO Melbourne has bolstered its creative department with the appointment of Nicole Sykes as creative director.

Originally hailing from New Zealand, Sykes spent seven years working in London and Dublin before returning to Auckland, where she has spent the past five years working for Saatchi & Saatchi and DDB.

With over 17 years’ industry experience, Sykes has worked on a range of clients including NeonTV, SKY Television, ASB, Toyota and Coca-Cola.

Stephen de Wolf, executive creative director at Clemenger BBDO Melbourne, said: “Evan [Roberts] and I couldn’t be more excited about the arrival of Nicole. She’s the perfect fit for us here and undeniably a brilliant thinker.

Commenting on her appointment, Sykes said: “I feel both excited and privileged to be joining such an outstanding team of clever humans. I have admired Clemenger BBDO Melbourne’s work from afar for many years and am absolutely thrilled to now be joining them.
