Nicola Bell Appointed CEO Of Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand

New Zealand-born international advertising executive Nicola Bell has been appointed CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand. She joins the agency after ten years with Ogilvy New York and eight years at Ogilvy Sydney.

In New York, Bell was Worldwide Managing Director on the Kodak, Motorola and Avon accounts. She was the youngest member appointed to the Ogilvy NY Management Board, and the only account leader invited to participate in Ogilvy's Global Creative Council.





Bell succeeds outgoing CEO Andrew Stone. She was born in Auckland and moved with her family to Australia when she was 10. Her early career with Ogilvy in Sydney saw her work on diverse businesses such as Unilever's Dove, Bushells, Lipton Tea and Raguletto, as well as American Express, World Wildlife Fund, Xerox, Philips and the Australian Government's Child Immunisation and Young Drivers campaigns.

Bell was transferred to Ogilvy New York in 1999 to run Dove in North America. During her six years at the helm of the Kodak account in New York she navigated the brand through its enterprise-wide digital transformation, leading a cross-discipline team spanning over 30 countries, comprising advertising, digital, retail, media strategy, planning and buying, production and implementation.
