ABOUT NICOLA MCCOOE
She lives in “Nico-la-la-land” and rarely comes back down to earth. But when she does, she hits the ground running– just watch.
Growing up on the Sydney's Northern Beaches in Australia, Nicola went on to study communications at the renowned, Charles Sturt University in Bathurst. She graduated with a Bachelor of Communications in Advertising (and one giant hangover), then went on to make it into the top ten students of her Award School class. Her career began with an internship at award-winning agency, Ogilvy & Mather and then another at Clemenger BBDO. Then she built her career in some of Sydney’s best agencies: iris Worldwide, whiteGREY and 303 Mullenlowe. In 2018, she completed her obligatory time as a ‘bogan abroad', with a 2 year stint in London, permalancing in one of the UK’s biggest agencies, Wunderman Thompson.
When COVID hit, she’s the freelancer who stayed freelancing. Despite leaving the UK and heading home, she stayed on Wunderman Thompson’s books every week for a whole year, even through a global pandemic. After settling back into Australia, she settled back into Ogilvy Australia. And after 3 years with them, a little time off to Eat-Pray-Love her way around the world, who knows where she’s off to next?
