Amber Casey and Nicola Wood have teamed up as creative directors for adam&eveDDB London.

They are the first creative hires for the new co-CCOs Ant Nelson and Mike Sutherland, who called the duo “creative powerhouses with world-class credentials in their own right.”

Previously, Wood worked at Ogilvy as executive creative director. She has been named in WARC’s top 100 creative rankings for five consecutive years. Most recently as ECD of Ogilvy UK, Wood helped the agency secure a position in the top five most-awarded creative agencies in the world.

Her most famous work includes the culturally impactful "Have a Word" integrated campaign for Mayor of London, which won a coveted D&AD White Pencil and Cannes Glass Lion. Before Ogilvy, Nicola worked for a decade at RKCR/Y&R with some of Britain's best loved brands, including Marks & Spencer and the BBC.

Casey previously worked at adam&eveDDB before moving to MullenLowe as a creative. At MullenLowe UK, she created work for Knorr, The British Heart Foundation and women's empowerment and poverty alleviation charity MicroLoan Foundation, winning a Gold Effie for her innovative "Women 4 Women" campaign.

Since leaving MullenLowe, Casey has freelanced for YouTube and Ogilvy. She's worked at various agencies, including BBH and RKCR Y&R, and worked with brands such as Dove, Marmite, Land Rover, Oxfam, BBC, British Airways and Virgin. She’s won awards at Cannes, D&AD and The One Show.

The agency called the hires “a huge win.”

Adam&eveDDB London counts Puma, Iams and Great Western Railway among its client work.
