Nick Vellacott set up Highlight PR in 1999, quickly establishing the agency as one of the first specialist PR consultancies for the marketing and creative sector.

Over the years, Nick has directed a wide range of strategic PR campaigns for agencies such as RPM, Fitch, BEcause, i2i Marketing, Knifedge and Line Up.  For 10 years, Nick also masterminded publicity for The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise, the UK’s top business award scheme, on behalf of the Department of Business Innovation & Skills.

As well as being an avid follower of the latest marketing trends, Nick brings a lateral perspective to his thinking, courtesy of 10 years experience in leading London and Bath PR agencies, and a stint as an advertising copywriter in Hong Kong.

In his spare time, Nick is a regular contributor to the South West hub of Creative Boom, a national online magazine for the UK’s creative industries.

Nick has a degree in Management Studies from St Andrews University.
