ABOUT NICOLA MCCOOE
She lives in Nico-la-la-land: a place of big ideas and even bigger daydreams, and every so often, one of them escapes into the real world.
Raised on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, Nicola studied at Charles Sturt University in Bathurst, graduating with a Bachelor of Communication in Advertising (and one GIANT hangover). She then kicked off her career in the top ten of her 2016 AWARD School class.
She’s worked for some of the biggest names in advertising: Ogilvy, BBDO, whiteGREY and 303 MullenLowe in Australia, and Wunderman Thompson in London (during her obligatory stint as a bogan abroad), picking up a few awards along the way.
More recently, her addiction to doomscrolling finally paid off, with multiple freelance gigs at We Are Social before she joined Canva’s Global Campaigns team, creating social-first and email campaigns for some of their biggest events and moments.
She’s Eat-Pray-Loved her way around the world: climbing mountains in the Himalayas, touching foreheads with the Dalai Lama and winning a wedding in a 25-words-or-less competition.
