I'd love to help you develop a blogging strategy along with a plan for how your team can assist you. We can also talk about how to market your blog.

Email Marketing

Email marketing was the first form of digital marketing I rolled up my sleeves and tackled. Since that time, I've helped countless organizations build their lists, optimize their email creative, and grow their programs.

Brand Strategy

We live in a brand-driven world. It's an exciting time to be in marketing. In spite of digital shifts, however, strong brands with something to say matter now more than ever. Who is your brand? What do you stand for? What's your brand's story? I've helped organizations of all shapes and sizes answer these very questions. I'd love to do the same thing with you. Let's chat.

During a tumultuous transitional time at the company, Nick always brought calm, creative solutions to any discussion. He was roundly appreciated as a voice of reason, and he was a friendly and fun colleague.

Nick produces high-performance, market-focused and results-driven work. He uses a very thorough, flexible and consultative marketing approach that allows him to capture and present the essence of business challenges in ways that multiple audiences can easily understand. Nick stays very current and has a knack for balancing data and creativity effectively. He is extremely reliable and has a great sense of humor as well.

I've had a working relationship with Nick for the past two years as a partner and can attest to his strong work ethic, diligence and business acumen. Nick is a take-charge person who is able to present creative ideas and communicate the benefits of an advertising plan while being a consultant through the process.

He has successfully developed various marketing plans for companies in numerous vertical markets that have resulted in increased revenue.

I highly recommend Nick and his company from both a professional and personal level.

Nick's ability to translate what a salesperson is telling him, compile information from the marketplace, and send a targeted message was a cornerstone to my success at Buckle Down. He kept this salesperson's tool kit fully stocked from a Marketing support side and ensured that communication from sales to marketing always flowed smoothly.

Several years ago, I was hired as a marketing consultant for Buckle Down Publishing to assist in their catalog design and production, and to try to improve the quality and skill set of the permanent marketing staff.

While the marketing folks who I worked with were all terrific, Nick stood out for his intelligence, marketing savvy, hard work, and eagerness to learn. He was always eager to expand his skills in direct marketing techniques: how to set up direct mail tests, implementing methods to analyze front and back-end results, improving his copywriting skills, extending the marketing message to other media, and exploiting the internet.

He also has a wonderful personality and a terrific sense of humor. I'd recommend Nick heartily for any marketing position.

Nick is an outstanding marketer and colleague. While we were not always able to act on Nick's creative strategies, he consistently brought new, creative insights to our planning and execution. Additionally, Nick has a rare command of both the creative side of marketing, as well as data-driven decision making. Nick excels in both domains without trade-offs. He is equally adept moving between concept and design to execution and measurement. And, what really impressed me was his command of print and digital. Nick was able to help us optimize our marketing across the media spectrum, and I wholeheartedly recommend his talents.

Thank you for an exceptional experience in 6M215 Social Media Marketing this summer. I enjoyed the content and your positive attitude during the course lecture. Although Blackboard was not 100 percent cooperative during our classes, it did not effect the course or ability to learn. I would suggest that University of Iowa look into a different online classroom provider. I look forward to keeping in touch through LinkedIn. Have fun with the undergrad! :)
