NICK HOWARD IS A Chicagoan WORKING as AN SVP CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT LEO BURNETT.

He has birthed a movie starring Luke Skywalker, sculpted modern art on view at LACMA, composed an orchestra, filmed a super bowl spot in Frank Sinatra’s house, premiered a documentary, designed a controller out of a beer can, sold spaceships, wrote copy in The New York Times, rebranded the entire sport of baseball and he still feels like he’s just begun.

In 2022, his work for Clash of Clans was awarded two Grand Prix at Cannes. It also won the Film Grand Clio, Two Grands at Clio Entertainment, Best of Gaming at the One Show and the Webby for Best Documentary, propelling Wieden + Kennedy Portland to Independent Agency of the Year and onto Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies list. In 2021, he was named to Adweek’s Creative 100 and his work with Alex Prager at DDB helped LACMA open their doors to the public for the first time since the Pandemic began - leading Miller Lite to its first One Show Gold Pencils and Cannes Lions. With over 100 international advertising awards, including a Best of Discipline in mobile, the #1 trending video on YouTube twice, and two Super Bowl spots, he's obsessed with ideas that are simple, powerful, and demand a reaction.

Growing up, he never knew what he wanted to do. His “problem” was that he liked to do everything. Luckily, this may be the only job on the planet where it’s a requirement that you do everything. If you’re like Nick and like doing everything, reach out!
