Nicola Wardell

Managing Director , Specsavers

"The Agency of the Year Awards are a way to recognise the very best of the industry, against a robust set of criteria"

Nicola spent the first 25 years of her career in London Ad agencies. Latterly, she was a Managing Partner at Grey London and Chief Client Officer at Havas. In 2019 Nic made the decision to leave Ad land, to lead the in house Agency at Specsavers. She is of the firm belief that the better the relationship with clients, the greater the work, so was excited by the opportunity to be part of a Marketing Leadership Team and influence from within. She sees her role as having two halves; To make great work & To make Specsavers Creative a great place to work. The output of her team and their love for the business, is proof that these two goals don't have to be mutually exclusive.
