About

Nick Goard
Brand, Marketing & Creative Leadership

My work sits in brand, strategy, and organizational design. I’ve led marketing functions at the VP and Head of Brand level, built creative systems from zero, and managed teams and budgets at scale — across agencies, startups, and growth-stage companies.

What I do isn’t just creative direction. It’s figuring out what a business actually needs from its brand and marketing function, building the infrastructure to deliver it, and leading the people who run it. That might mean repositioning a brand, restructuring a department, or building the operating system that holds all of it together.

Fifteen years across brand, performance, ecommerce, CRM, and campaign channels. The through-line is always the same: build something the business can actually run on.
