Clemenger Group’s full service marketing agency CHE Proximity has recruited Vanessa Nicol as its Sydney managing director.

Before joining CHE Proximity, Nicol was the head of Telstra at Omnicom-owned media agency OMD for two years.
Nicol has also held positions at M&C Saatchi, Virgin Mobile and Optus.
In her new role Nicol will be responsible for overseeing CHE Proximity’s Telstra relationship, which spans Sydney and Melbourne.
Nicol will become a member of the agency’s leadership team.
Chris Howatson, CEO at CHE Proximity, said in a statement: “Vanessa is intelligent, charismatic and full of energy. She brings a balanced perspective thanks to her creative, media and client side experience, making her a perfect leader at CHEP, as we transform more business with our connected creativity offer.”
Nicol said it is a privilege to be joining the agency and its culture and growth.
