Walker, with prolific experience on both production company and agency side of advertising, brings 20 years of commercial, film and television experience to Finch.

With stints at AMV BBDO London, Colenso BBDO Auckland, Saatchi & Saatchi NZ, McCann Erickson Auckland and numerous production companies, Walker has worked with international brands Samsung, Westpac, Nokia, Vodafone, Sony, O2 (Germany), Mercedes, Ford, Ikea, and Coca-Cola. In 2012 she produced the hugely popular television campaign for New Zealand supermarket chain, New World with Finch’s Patrick Hughes.

Rob Galluzzo, executive producer and founder of Finch is thrilled with the new addition.

Says Galluzo: “I think Nikki is awesome. Our directors agree. Except for Christopher Riggert who hasn’t met her yet, but is open to the idea of liking her.”

Walker is equally excited to be joining Finch.

Says Walker: “It was a no-brainer; they do great work.”

From its inception 2 years ago, Finch has continued to develop its roster of in-demand directors based in Sydney, Auckland and internationally. New Zealand being a prime destination for TVC production, Walker is a valuable addition and will contribute greatly to the growth of the company.
