For more than three decades, Kim Pick (nee Henley) has blazed a trail for creative women in advertising, working her way around the world via leading agencies in Australia, Singapore, London, New York and New Zealand.

She kicked off an award-winning copywriting career in Sydney, before being appointed Creative Director of McCann Erickson Singapore in her mid-twenties, one of the youngest women to take on the role. At Saatchi & Saatchi London, she was promoted to Regional Creative Director, working on billion-dollar P&G brands. She was ECD of RAPP New York until 2014, when she returned to the New Zealand industry, joining Colenso BBDO. She was appointed national Executive Creative Director of VML New Zealand in 2018.

As well as the work, she is passionate about the industry, regularly serving on advisory and thought leadership panels, and local and international awards juries.
