“I couldn’t be more thrilled to be joining VCCP.  From my very first conversations with Chris and Jonny, and with Darren, it felt like the perfect fit.  Ambitious creatives, ambitious clients – who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?”, Nott said.

His recent campaign for the anti knife-crime charity the Kiyan Prince Foundation won particular acclaim, securing a Cannes Titanium Grand Prix.

Parker and Birch added: “Richard Nott. Big time global award winner. Lovely human (that’s important). Long Live the Prince is one of our favourite ideas of the last few years. We’re absolutely chuffed to have such a brilliant, accomplished and hugely ambitious creative talent join our gang.”
