Nicola Gunby is the Founder and Chief Marketing Officer of CLIQ, one of Europe’s fastest-emerging social networking platforms, built around a simple but ambitious mission: getting people off their phones and back into real-life communities. Since launching in 2023, CLIQ has grown to hundreds of thousands of users and secured a seven-figure investment, all while spending virtually nothing on traditional marketing. Prior to CLIQ, Nicola co-founded AMB Beauty, a pioneering beauty-tech marketplace that became one of the UK's fastest-growing startups before being acquired by Revolution Beauty PLC, where it evolved into MY REV. A passionate advocate for community-led growth, Nicola specialises in building brands through advocacy, partnerships, and authentic human connection rather than paid acquisition. Alongside her work at CLIQ, she is a speaker, advisor, mentor, and co-founder of The Founder Series, a community supporting female founders in London. At CMO Summit London, Nicola will share her perspective on growth, community, and the evolving relationship between brand building and commercial performance in the modern enterprise.
