Nikki Gillespie

"I’m pedantic, dismissive and largely unsympathetic to others. I also have several bad qualities, which I will not go into here..."

From an initial start in Theatre production/design, Nikki began her Advertising career as a production assistant and junior copywriter for Saatchi & Saatchi's advertising agency in Barbados.
When the agency was taken over by Young & Rubicam in 1995, Nikki had risen to the position of Associate Creative Director, responsible for developing the creative for all of the Agency's major Ad campaigns with clients as diverse as Cable & Wireless and Colgate Palmolive.

On returning to the UK in 1999, Nikki met Steve Kemsley, joined Banana Split Productions as Senior Writer/Producer and soon became the burgeoning Agency's Creative Director.

Nikki's work with SASSY Films includes the Creative & Production of high-end Advertising (DeAgostini, Guinness World Records), along with a variety of corporate and long-form work. Nikki's non-Advertising credits include 'Bond Girl Diaries' TV Special for E!Entertainment (writer/producer) and 'BAFTAs Live from the Red Carpet' (head of production). Nikki is currently producing a series of TV Interstitials for the Disney Channel in the UK & Europe.
