Vicki Maguire
// CCO, Havas
Vicki Maguire is a rare breed – a world-class creative, a woman leading the charge and a force for modernising our industry.
From her disastrous career in fashion, sacked by the likes of French Connection and Vivienne Westwood, she discovered a love for copy when Paul Smith told her to stop trying to draw and write her ideas down instead. She’s worked on campaigns for some of the best agencies in the world – including Grey, Widen + Kennedy, Mojo and Amsterdam International.
She was appointed Havas London’s first female Chief Creative Officer in January 2020 – just eight weeks before the global pandemic hit. Despite that, she helped steer the agency to its best-ever year creatively – winning its first Cannes Gold Lion in nearly a decade for the Black Plaque Project – led one of the most successful new business drives in its history, culminating in Havas being awarded the hotly-contested Asda account in May 2021, produced work that built fame and commercial resilience for clients, and drove culture which engaged and helped consumers and communities.
She was named Creative Leader of the Year in both 2020 and 2021 by Campaign Magazine, which cited the agency’s ‘creative renaissance’, as well as a Female Frontiers honouree for her ground-breaking achievements in advertising. She was also named on the IPA’s inaugural iList – recognising the industry’s 30 most outstanding diversity and inclusivity game-changers – and an IPA Fellow for ‘services to advertising’ in its New Year Honours list, plus Campaign’s 40 over 40 in 2023.
In 2021, Vicki claimed one of the highest-profile gigs in the industry: Cannes Lions jury President, where she presided over the Brand Experience & Activation Lions jury. She returned in 2022 to sit on the Sustainable Development Goals Lions jury, and again in 2023 to judge the Dan Wieden Titanium Lions. This year also saw Havas London’s ‘Me, My Autism, and I’ for Vanish clean up on the awards circuit, with the campaign winning a host of major awards including a Cannes Gold Lion (one of three) and a prestigious D&AD Yellow Pencil (one of six).
