LAURA NELLI

I THINK THE STATUS QUO KEEPS PEOPLE FROM LIVING A FULL LIFE – I USE CREATIVITY TO CHALLENGE IT.



Motivated by a belief that brands ultimately succeed when they act in service to their audience, I’ve honed a creative approach that puts people at the heart of everything a brand says or does. As a former start-up entrepreneur, I blend a strong strategic mindset with creative possibility, helping clients achieve their business goals by disrupting creative norms.
