R/GA’s Aussie expat global chief creative officer Nick Law makes Creativity 50 list for 2012
R/GA’s Aussie expat chief creative officer, Nick Law, has been included in this year’s prestigious Creativity 50, which lists the world’s most influential creative personalities from a spectrum of disciplines.
Law is soon to be officially named global chief creative officer – as CB revealed in Cannes – taking the reins from global chairman Rob Greenberg.
According to the Creativity 50 citation: In his current role, Nick Law has led R/GA’s team of cross-disciplinary talent in creating one of the smartest brand ideas of the year: Nike+ Fuelband. The agency earned double Grand Prix at Cannes for, arguably, the world’s sexiest wristband, which invites the everyman into the Nike+ world previously reserved for the more athletically inclined.
Executive creative directors Ted Royer and Nik Studzinski from majority Australian-owned agency Droga5 New York also made the list, in place of David Droga, who has made the cut every year since 2006.
According to the Creativity 50 citation: Ted Royer, who has been at the agency since it opened, and Nik Studzinski, who joined from Mother, London, in 2010, have worked with Mr. Droga in various capacities and on various continents. At Droga5, the two have been instrumental in transforming the agency from a feisty startup to a mature shop.
