About

Nic founded the new media production agency Five to Sixty in 2015, with the belief that short social videos, stills and gifs are the best way to leave lasting impressions on today’s audiences. In recent years, Five to Sixty has been hired to create digital commercials for some of the world’s leading brands including Don Julio, Sensodyne, Pepsi, Spotify, and Popeyes. Nic thrives on working in collaborative environments, and has partnered with international advertising agencies such as AKQA, GUT, Wunderman, and VaynerMedia. His Coca Cola broadcast commercial received the Cannes Lions Mo Film award, and in 2019, Five to Sixty's work on the Pepsi Super Bowl Campaign was honored with a Gold and Silver Telly Award. He believes every film, whether it is the episode of a show, a music video, or a five second digital ad, has a story to tell.
