After gaining a First in Fashion Marketing at the University of Central Lancashire, Nicola worked for a London-based children’s fashion licensing company where she handled worldwide brands such as Kenzo, Timberland and Nike – so successfully, she was promptly assigned to set up the firm’s Glasgow operation with responsibility for the whole of Scotland and North East England.
The only snag was missing her wide circle of friends in Yorkshire, so she put her career on hold to do a Masters Degree in Creative Imaging with Attik Design in Huddersfield which helped Nicola explore her creative potential. Lifelong learning is definitely high on her agenda, and she is currently studying for a Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma.
Prior to joining the Allen Design Group, Nicola was at L&K Creative in Leeds, a small agency renowned for handling arts and lifestyle clients, such as the Northern School of Contemporary Dance, experience that lends a razor edge to her unique marketing approach.
