ABOUT
NICOLE INGRA
Founder and Global Director of Insights & Strategy
With almost a decade of experience building bridges between culture, business & technology, I’ve acquired extensive international experience getting agencies and brands to understand what’s possible to design meaningful narratives, ecosystems and structures that change hearts & minds - while having a great time getting there.
Workshops are my happy place for creative ideation and my work sits at the intersection of brand, comms & digital, with culture at the heart of it all. My favourite feeling to have and evoke is I haven’t thought about it that way, driven by the joy of catalysing progress.
I try to learn something new every day. Isn't that what we do for a living, after all: live and learn and then turn those learnings into inputs, inspirations and stories that resonate?
I've done a stand-up set on feminism, directed a short documentary on skateboarding, and interviewed people about their lives, for fun. I write the occasional newsletter and love taking courses - be it on creative writing, diving, negotiating, or an MSc in Digital Humanities.
My personal quest is to spread joy, curiosity, kindness and confidence while trying to figure out what the fuck we're supposed to be doing on this planet.
