Hi there, I’m Nikki!

 

I help companies scale and individuals build influence. 

I’m a journalist turned marketer who’s led growth across industries: CPG, Financial Services, B2B SaaS, Media, and Healthcare. I’ve spent my career translating complex marketing challenges into clear, measurable growth.

The through-line?  Storytelling that drives revenue, visibility, and real impact.

I help companies grow through strategic marketing consulting, campaign development, and Fractional CMO support. I’m also the Co-Founder of Brand ME, where I empower executives and professionals to build standout personal brands that open doors and create opportunities.

Whether I’m guiding a business through its next growth phase or coaching individuals to own their voice and elevate their presence, my mission is simple: help brands and the people behind them stand out, amplify, and thrive.

"Nicole builds systems, solves problems, and simplifies the complex. Her blend of creativity and operational excellence makes her one of the most future-ready marketers in the field."
BUSINESS INSIDER

Here’s the truth:

My career has been anything but linear.

I didn’t follow a perfect roadmap. I went from journalism → marketing → climbing the corporate ladder → building a six-figure consulting and personal-branding business.

Along the way…

  • I took risks that didn’t make sense on paper but changed my life.
  • I rebuilt after burnout, layoffs, and career pivots.
  • I learned how to turn storytelling into strategy and strategy into growth.
  • I built a personal brand of 30K+ on LinkedIn that opened doors I didn’t even know existed.
  • Spoken on stages like TEDx, SXSW, Brandweek, and more.

 

But none of that happened overnight.

I’ve had the wins you see online…
And behind them?

Failed launches.
Ghosted proposals.
Messy pivots.
Doubt, burnout, and reinvention.

Every mistake became data. Every lesson became a framework.

And now I teach the things I needed most when I was building from scratch through my Authentic Story Framework™.

What I know for sure:

Your business, your brand, or your voice doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful.

You just need clarity, strategy, and the confidence to show up.

Here’s what I do today

I help companies and executives:

→ Build brand systems that create clarity and momentum
→ Develop content that cuts through noise
→ Establish executive presence that actually drives pipeline
→ Build internal advocacy and employee-driven influence
→ Plug in fractional leadership when they need senior-level strategy without a full-time hire

I help individuals:

→ Grow a personal brand that gets them paid
→ Build content workflows that are sustainable, not draining
→ Tell their story with clarity, confidence, and direction

I’ve made the mistakes so you don’t have to.

And now I’m here to help you build the brand, and the opportunities, you know you’re capable of.
