2013 PR People to Watch: Nick Light

Nick Light, Account Executive, Peppercomm

According to Peppercom partner and senior director Maggie O’Neill, “Nick Light has the unique ability to seamlessly move from media relations and managing event logistics to multimedia content development and measurement strategy. His intuitive approach to the brainstorming process is impressive for one so young. His skillset makes him the poster boy for the next generation of integrated communications leaders.”

Light is creative in a way that many struggle with; he is not constrained by conventional thought processes, yet he is always able to tie back a seemingly “fun” idea to a client’s overall business goals and communications strategy. When asked to describe the qualities that make him successful, Light responded with three words: curiosity, creativity and level-headedness. Since starting at Peppercomm, Light has focused on two key areas for the agency: consumer brands and education. He has worked on accounts ranging from Gladiator GarageWorks and Maytag to Northeastern University and Steelcase Education Solutions.
