Campaign’s Creative Faces to Watch 2023 – Nigel James, Account Manager, VMLY&R
Age: 30
Nominated by Camilo Cardoso, Brand Portfolio Director, VMLY&R:
Nigel joined the team in 2019 and has since become one of our biggest client’s go-to and key account person. He has consistently delivered on-target results that have captivated our clients, with a gift for building rock-solid relationships with them, ensuring the success of different campaigns in an ever-growing restricted market scenario.
His calm, bright and, above everything, humorous way of approaching the day-to-day workload and managing campaigns has earned him the reputation of being a true rockstar in our agency. I have no doubt that he will continue to achieve great things in the years to come.
Career highlights
The kid who got into advertising to avoid wearing formals to work is now working with one of our biggest client’s and can’t imagine life without the fast pace and spontaneity of this industry.
In my 6 years of advertising, I’ve had the privilege and good fortune of working, well it’s not really working if you’re having fun, on a myriad of brands from industries like Healthcare, FMCG, Automotive and Fashion. Fingers crossed on writing my name in the sand creating a niche for myself within the industry.
Guiding principles
– There’s a solution to almost everything, you just have to look for it…patiently.
– Make things easy for yourself to make things easier for others.
– Having a pivot mindset – makes it easier to embrace and accept the chaos and ‘emergencies’ because if nothing changes, nothing changes.
Side hustle
Honestly, at the moment, I’m on the quest of figuring out a side hustle and have a feeling that it’s eventually going to be something either sports or automobiles related, hopefully.
