Former MGA exec sets up Nimbus Nine, with Vickie’s agency as first client.
Tina-Louise Foster has opened the doors of her new consultancy, teaming up with Vickie O’Malley at Rockpool Licensing as her first client.

Tina-Louise has also previously held roles at DreamWorks – as head of EMEA licensing and promotions – as well as global brands director at Celador.
“I’ve known Tina-Louise professionally and personally for many years as an outstanding licensing talent and friend,” said Vickie O’Malley, md of Rockpool Licensing. “I am very proud to be Nimbus Nine’s first client and excited about the prospect of working together in our own ventures.
“She’ll be helping to make and take meetings for Rockpool in Las Vegas and her experience and network will be hugely helpful to us as we look ahead to a bumper 2018.”
Tina-Louise added: “Nimbus Nine Consulting is all about working with positive ethics, great people on great projects to achieve rewarding results. I’m chuffed to be partnering with Vickie and we’re going to have great fun doing it.”
