About Nick Hine

cargocollective.com/nickhine Nick started his career under the guidance of Paul Arden at Saatchi and Saatchi London. In his first year there he picked up awards on British Airways and the NSPCC. Five years later, his sights were on Paris where he worked at McCann before moving back to London and joining Trevor Beattie at TBWA. While there he worked across many accounts, picking up the Grand Prix at Cannes for Playstation along with winning many other international awards. After another five years, the lure of great wine and his now French wife brought him back to TBWA/Paris. Working alongside Eric Ververogen he picked up many major international awards for creativity, most notably for his work on Bic Permanent Markers. At the same time he was winning effectiveness awards with his work on Nissan Europe. Not long after he was back to Saatchi and Saatchi, this time lured by European Creative Director John Pallant to take the reins of the Toyota Europe account in Paris. Three years later and he packed his bags again and headed to Eastern Europe to take up the roll of Executive Creative Director of Saatchi and Saatchi Romania. Whilst there Nick took the rather obscure agency from number 15 creatively to number 1 in Romania, and number 3 in the region. As well as building business with many local and regional brands, Nick instilled a belief in the agency that ‘Nothing is Impossible’, a famous Saatchi mantra. Nick then returned to Paris again, this time to be reunited with ex-TBWA/Paris partner Chris Garbutt, now ECD of Ogilvy and Mather. There Nick was the Global Creative Director on Dove Hair and Duracell. Nick had a hand in bringing new business to the agency and helped make O&M Paris the number 1 European agency at Eurobest for two years running. After a fertile 4 years at Ogilvy Nick then took another big step. This time to TBWA Chiat Day LA to take up the post of Global and Group Creative Director for the luxury car brand Infiniti. Nearly 3 years after coming to Infiniti Nick moved to the independent agency David and Goliath as Creative Director to work on the Kia car account. For the last year and a half Nick has chosen to try the freelance trade. Primarily at Spark44 when he has just produced two fully integrated campaigns for Land Rover and Jaguar. Today Nick is the Creative Director for the Red Bull brand at Kastner and Partners in Los Angeles. Throughout his career Nick has won numerous international awards and continues to believe that you build brands through engaging, insightful and relevant creative communication.
