We believe:

  • You can’t build a strong brand on top of weak positioning. Creative should always be fueled by strategy.

  • It’s better to build a team around a project vs. building an agency around 1 team.

  • Agencies that require retainers are just insecure about building long-term relationships that aren’t based on a contract.

  • Unlocking your brand’s purpose (your Why) leads to both growth and profitability.

  • We believe that the strongest brands are consistent across every touchpoint - from billboards to business cards and everything in between.

  • We can be the most effective to your brand if you look at us as your in-house team vs outside agency.

  • Our role is to build your brand with the clarity and structure to thrive long after we step away.

THE NOMADS

Lean by design. So we can build the exact team your brand needs — right experience, real passion, smart budget, strong chemistry.


  • Owner | Creative Director | Art Director | Brand Builder

    Noel was born in Rotterdam, raised in West Africa and Paris, and then on to California to live, learn and work. To call her a Nomad would be an understatement. Prior to founding Nomads Creative, she sharpened her big brand skills at such agencies as Ogilvy LA, Team One and Ignited, leading the charge on Lexus, Cisco and Zico Coconut Water, just to name a few. Her experiences, both in work and life, led her to the creation of Nomads Creative in 2013, where she has had the pleasure of directing creative and catapulting the growth of brands like Pressed Juicery, Health-Ade and Califia. And since Noel is never one to ever rest on her laurels, she simultaneously became a founder herself, and launched a line of margaritas.

  • Co-Founder | Creative Director | Writer | Storyteller

    Graham wanted to write ads, specifically car ads. And that’s exactly what he did for the first 10 years of his career. Soon after leaving the high-performance world of car commercials, he moved into the real world to work on clients ranging from Barbie to Red Bull and just about everything in between. He met Noel, fellow co-founder, at Ogilvy, let’s just say a while ago, and they have had the pleasure of building brands together ever since. Today, Graham lives in Venice with his two daughters and wife, and splits his time between writing ads and novels.
