Richard Nott has been appointed creative director of VCCP. He arrives with a Titanium Grand Prix at Cannes under his belt, after leading the creative for the Kiyan Prince Foundation’s Long Live the Prince campaign, raising awareness and caution around knife violence and gang crime. The campaign’s many awards also include a collection of Yellow and Black Pencils at D&AD, The One Show and British Arrows, Creative Circle’s Gold of Golds, seven Campaign BIG Awards and the DMA Awards Grand Prix.

In Nott’s most recent role as creative director at Engine he also led the creative campaign for Eurostar as well as spearheading the creative rebrand of Churchill Insurance, helping it find its Chill to reinvigorate the brand.

At VCCP, Nott will work across the global Mondelez and Virgin Media O2 accounts and will report into VCCP London executive creative directors, Jonny Parker and Chris Birch.

Jonny Parker and Chris Birch stated, “Richard Nott. Big time global award winner. Lovely human (that’s important). Long Live the Prince is one of our favourite ideas of the last few years. We’re absolutely chuffed to have such a brilliant, accomplished and hugely ambitious creative talent join our gang.” 

Richard Nott added, “I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining VCCP. From my very first conversations with Chris and Jonny, and with Darren, it felt like the perfect fit. Ambitious creatives, ambitious clients – who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”
