Nils is a creative’s creative who isn’t afraid to hold a mirror up to himself and the industry he loves. His recent TBD talk was going to be called ‘Life is too short to give up and become a cynical old sl@g’ but being the helpful, positive soul he is, Nils plumped for ‘What to do when you are being punched in the face’. Nils knows ‘good’ when he sees it and isn’t afraid to burn down houses to find it. Nils will be quizzed on a range of topics from post-pandemic client relations to how creativity is changing because of platforms like TikTok.
