The Team
Noel Woolfolk
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.

Graham Simon
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.

Cambria Guernsey
Marketing Director | Strategist | Growth Guru
Cambria is the marketing glue that holds together all elements of the Nomads story – advertising, media, sales, social, PR and client relationships. She has extensive experience launching brands and bringing CPG start-ups into mass retail - something that makes a whole lot of sense for our roster of entrepreneurial food and beverage clients.
She specializes in becoming the “right-hand (wo)man” for our clients. She is able to rapidly (and somewhat magically) integrate into the team in order to support and help develop of our client’s brand story, marketing executions, as well as increasing online sales during core selling seasons.
HOW WE WORK
Let us build you a dream team.
Every project requires a different set of skills. It might be production, experiential, design, media buying and so on. The one constant is that every project needs a guiding force (that’s us) who can help steer the ship. There’s a whole lot The Nomads can do on our own - because we’ve done it over and over again. But we will be the first to admit when a task is beyond our expertise. So immediately, we tap into our wealth of resources that we’ve amassed in our over 30 years of advertising experience. And create the ideal “dream team” suited to the project at hand.
