Nick Fox Chief Client Officer

Nick has been with us for 23 years and became Chief Client Officer of DDB London in 2006.

After an earnest early stint of pulling pints, stacking shelves and delivering milk, he started his advertising career with DMB&B London in 1982, initially buying TV time before moving up to account management working on Mars and Pedigree Pet foods.

In 1984 he swapped confectionary and Whiskas for Peugeot cars and Seagrams at Havas Dentsu H.C.K. There he produced the Peugeot 405 'Fields of Love' commercial before joining DDB London in 1987 and making VW Polo 'Changes' - two of the most recalled car adverts of all time.

Nick was elected board member at BMP DDB in 1990 and became Vice President of DDB Tokyo in 1993, responsible for building the DDB office in Japan and managing international accounts across the Asia Pacific region. In 1996, Nick relocated back to London to become Worldwide Director for Volkswagen.

In 2000 he was promoted to the position of Managing Director Worldwide Accounts Europe, responsible for all multinational accounts across region Europe and in 2001 was elected onto the DDB Worldwide board.

Now as Chief Client Officer of DDB London, Nick is responsible for business growth, client satisfaction and agency management.

Key clients, past and present, Nick has managed include:

• Peugeot
• Seagram’s
• Volkswagen
• Nationwide Building Society
• IG
• Tourism Australia
• Kwik Fit
• Virgin Media
• Unilever

Outside of work Nick is happily married with two young boys and when not on family duty, can often be seen clambering up muddy banks in the early hours fishing for trout. Other hobbies include motorsports, art, great food, tennis or anything with a racquet or club!
