Havas Media Group UK promotes Nick Wright to goup creative director
Havas Media Group UK has appointed Nick Wright to the newly created role of group creative director, a promotion from his current role as head of creative for Havas Sports & Entertainment.
Wright's immediate focus will be the implementation and construction of a new, creatively-driven team. He will report into group chief strategy officer Graeme Douglas, and will be tasked with driving creativity and collaboration across the group.
The new role will be instrumental in creating integrated solutions for new and existing clients and Wright will be active in key global and local pitches for the entire group and will work across O2, Barclays, Nationwide, Pernod Ricard, Nandos and Eurostar.
Douglas commented: “For too long the role of ‘the creative’ has been the exclusive domain of the creative agency. This notion is dead. Nick is the ideal person to lead our relentless pursuit of excellence in creative thinking that goes beyond what brands say but into how brands behave, regardless of platform or media channel”.
Prior to Havas Media Group, Wright spent seven years as partner at creative communications agency Amplify.
