[WHO'S BEHIND THE TROUBLE?]
Three partners. Decades of combined experience. A shared belief that the work is only as good as the people willing to fight for it.
[ Why do we do this? ]
NICE TROUBLE exists because the three of us spent our careers in the industry and saw what it gets wrong. We built something different independent, senior, and accountable to the work alone.

Creative Leadership
Javier@nicetrouble.com
Former VP at Ogilvy & Mather and JWT lead, winner of 30+ Cannes Lions including Argentina's first Gold Lion.
Javier Mentasti is one of the most decorated creative leaders in Latin American advertising. As former VP at Ogilvy & Mather and lead at J. Walter Thompson, he has shaped campaigns for global brands and helped launch Bombay US, building brands that resonate across cultures and markets.
Javier has won more than 30 Cannes Lions over his career, including Argentina's first Cannes Gold Lion for Telecom, a landmark moment that opened the door for a generation of Latin American creativity on the world stage. His trophy cabinet also holds a One Show Best in Discipline and a D&AD Yellow Pencil, two of the most exacting honors in the industry.
He believes that great creative is not an ornament bolted onto a strategy, it is the strategy, made visible. Javier's work proves that the boldest ideas and the most effective ones are usually the same idea, seen clearly.

Executive Creative Direction
Pablo@nicetrouble.com
Honors graduate in Art Direction; former ECD at McCann Erickson Madrid, Y&R Buenos Aires, and JWT. Recognized across every major global show.
Pablo Stricker is an art director turned executive creative director whose career spans the most demanding creative markets in the Spanish-speaking world. An honors graduate in Art Direction from the Argentine Association of Advertising Agencies, Pablo led creative at McCann Erickson Madrid, Young & Rubicam Buenos Aires, and J. Walter Thompson — agencies where the standard is not good, but unforgettable.
His work has been recognized across the full constellation of global awards: Cannes, Clio, One Show, D&AD, Communication Arts, London International, and the New York Festival. Few creatives have earned recognition from every major show on the circuit — Pablo has, and he brings that standard to every engagement at NICE TROUBLE.
Pablo believes craft is not a luxury; it is the difference between an idea that lands and an idea that evaporates. He treats every detail — from typography to timing — as a decision worth making well.
