Vicki Maguire

A promising career in fashion design was cut short when Vicki discovered she couldn't draw. Luckily, she was encouraged by her mentor Paul Smith to write down her ideas instead.

Finding her feet in her first agency BDDH, Vicki has gone on to develop campaigns, thoughts and ideas for some of the best agencies in the world.

She joined Grey London 2009 and served as Chief Creative Officer before joining Havas London as CCO in January 2020.

Industry awards include more than 35 for the Vinnie Jones ‘Hands Only CPR’ campaign, and a multitude of Cannes Lions including two Grands Prix for the Life Paint campaign for Volvo.

The IPA named Vicki one of advertising’s Women of Tomorrow, and Business Insider voted her one of the 10 most influential women in advertising. 2016 saw her take the Chairmanship of the Creative Circle Awards – becoming the first female chair.
