Britt Nolan
Chief Creative Officer North America
McCann
Britt Nolan is Chief Creative Officer of McCann North America.
For more than two decades, Britt has helped shape some of the industry’s most memorable and effective campaigns. He introduced the world to “Mayhem” for Allstate, launched #DoWhatYouCant for Samsung with the help of a flying ostrich, invited America to “Drive a Firestone,” brought Coors Light some much-needed “Chill,” helped Country Time Lemonade win hearts and change laws, and put van Gogh’s bedroom on Airbnb, driving record attendance for the Art Institute of Chicago.
A student of the Berlin School of Creative Leadership, Britt has been named to Ad Age’s “40 Under 40,” and inducted into the AAF Hall of Achievement. His work has earned global recognition, winning top honors in every major international competition, and a few you’ve never heard of. But he’d also like you to know that his first brief was to write a series of unremarkable vinyl siding brochures.
