Compelling strategies, stories, ideas, and designs to brand your business or organisation from the inside out.

Hello, I’m creative director, writer, and thinker Nick Portet.

I spent time as creative director of major network agencies, founded and led my own consultancies in the UK and US, and became head of brand for a Swiss Private Bank. I’ve worked with clients across the world, and whatever I’ve done and wherever I’ve done it, words and ideas have always been at the heart of my work.

As a creative director I define nurture and broadcast brands for financial and professional services firms and beyond. I've worked across Europe, in the US, and the Middle and Far East with UBS, Credit Suisse, Brewin Dolphin, Schroders, Mayer Brown, Barclays, Simmons & Simmons, Morgan Stanley, Markit, Janus Capital, Arcapita, HSBC, Lombard Odier, and Rothschild & Co.

As a writer my work focuses on the importance of story-telling as the heart of a brand, and using it to brand organisations from the inside out. Most recently I've written for business intelligence specialists CRU, Innovative Geneva Private Bank Syz, leading landscape architects Bowles & Wyer, lawyers Trowers & Hamlins, boutique book creators Hurtwood, and art consultants The Fine Art Group.

As a film maker I work on documentary and brand films as writer, director and presenter. I’m an experienced interviewer and enjoy helping people to find their voice and deliver great content.

As an individual I’m flexible and adaptable - working with specialist talent across digital and conventional media, sometimes building and leading teams, and sometimes fitting in to teams that are already in place.
