Managing Director, We Are What We Do

After graduating from Oxford University in 2002, Nick spent six years working on the ground in communities and nationally on social marketing campaigns, before joining We Are What We Do in 2007 and becoming Managing Director in early 2009.

Nick began his career as a teacher, working in the UK and abroad, and then joined Anti-Slavery International as a campaigner and fundraiser in 2003. As part of a two year volunteer project, Nick spent 7 months cycling from Cape Town to London to raise money and awareness for the charity, returning to give 100s of interviews and lectures and write his first book, Blood, Sweat and Charity, published in 2005.

From 2005, Nick worked as a youth worker in Lambeth and Southwark and used that experience to go on to create a national youth engagement programme and employee volunteering scheme with T-Mobile in 2006.

Nick joined We Are What We Do in 2007 to develop their dedicated schools work, creating their children’s book, Teach Your Granny to Text & Other Ways to Change the World, and a series of national youth programmes.

Since early 2009, Nick’s small but very dedicated team has launched a set of projects all over the world, including partnerships with Google, Sainsbury’s and Coca-Cola Spain, a new product range and a major inter-generational campaign in 2010.
