Is Digital Marketing Killing Creativity?

Nick Pritchard

With a fine art degree in Printmaking, but no formal experience, Nick gave his first agency 6 months of free work experience and was rewarded with an official appointment as TV and Print Production Manager with McCanns, producing top campaigns for Triumph International, Suncorp, Colorado, Golden Casket and Queensland Tourism.

Drawing on the strengths of his degree Nick jumped over to the creative side and work at most of the multinational agencies in Brisbane, working on clients: Dreamworld, QR, Queensland Transport, Colorado, Suncorp Bank and Tourism Queensland to name a few.

15 years ago he started his own agency, Decoder and grew the business to include 20 staff. He brought Craft Queensland into the modern era, rebranding them Artisan. He helped in the massive shift of brand Comalco to Rio Tinto. And calling on his skills and experience in TV/film production, brand and design he created a world’s best Bid brand for Australia’s pitch for the World Championships in Athletics. Over the years, Nick has refined mainstream and direct marketing sensibilities to be applicable to areas of brand, internal communication, change management and sponsorship.

Nick Pty Ltd is his latest venture with a talented team of 20, delivering award winning creative solutions. Nick Pty Ltd is a full service agency concentrating on delivering creative solutions for current clients The Suncorp Group, Qantas, Coke, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport, Brisbane Powerhouse, BHP, Naudic, Brisbane Marketing, GoodStart Early Learning, and more.

Hayley Worley

Co-founder of trailblazing bed linen label The Sheet Society, Hayley Worley has combined a tactile passion for working with fabric, colours and trends, and a desire to craft a universally ‘wanted’ product with flair. After identifying that bedding was a category in need of (desperate) innovation, she began to grapple with the idea of revolutionising the way consumers shop for their sheets. Born from her frustration with myriad flaws in the linen market, Hayley envisioned a label in which shoppers could ‘see’ what they were buying properly, rather than touring packets of folded linen in department stores. In 2017, The Sheet Society stripped the beds of Australians clean and refashioned them with considered, indulgent, playful ensembles. Since then, Hayley and partner Andy have forged a feel-good, expertly sophisticated and unbeatably spunky linen line that has grown a staggering 300% in just three years.
