Clients

My clients want to leverage content to build their businesses.

My clients have been in business for several or many years and are intelligent, motivated, and principled people who want to communicate their ideas effectively and creatively. They let me into their boardrooms, backrooms, sales meetings, planning meetings, computer networks, and, really, their brains. By sharing how they think and operate, I can write in a way that best represents their organizations and delivers the materials they need to grow and prosper.

Q: How does having worked with so many different clients benefit my company?

It helps you invest wisely.

Strategic insight.

After decades of working with organizations to help them effectively uncover and communicate what makes them different and better, it has become second nature. I can advise you on content strategies that align with your brand and goals and help you hit your numbers.

Accountability.

It’s impossible to become a trusted resource if you miss deadlines, don’t deliver on your promises, or write copy that doesn’t do what it’s supposed to. Plus, there’s the integrity thing. Aiming for excellence feels fantastic.

The art of the ask.

There’s nuance in getting readers to respect what you’re saying and want to take the next step.

Before the 2000s, I was considered an expert in conceiving and writing B2C and B2B direct mail marketing campaigns. This led to a specialization in major donor fundraising campaigns that included packages with six-figure asks — and later to white papers and articles with “soft sell” that positions my clients as leaders who deserve attention.

I have clients whose clients are picky.

I often work with advertising agencies and marketing firms whose reputations depend on their ability to deliver results. If my copy doesn’t deliver, they look bad in front of their clients, or worse.

Through agencies, I’ve been fortunate to write (and keep writing) for some of the most successful enterprises in the country and learn from them in the process.

“I have worked with Nikki since 2012 and I remain very enthusiastic and grateful for her contributions because:

She is, without doubt, the most accountable consultant of any type I have ever worked with.
She is a professional and is excellent at her craft.
She brings an ability to grasp complex strategic elements and work with them in focused and consistent messaging, both explicit and implied.
Unlike many people in creative fields, she is very structured and disciplined, and she has a deep awareness of cost/benefit that she constantly applies for her clients.
She has helped me envision, organize, manage, and complete a variety of projects for a number of companies that I am involved in, each with very different goals and demands. At first, I was expecting marketing help but was pleasantly surprised to find that her project management skills are masterful and she has become a trusted confidante and key resource for me.
She has the confidence and integrity to speak up when she recognizes a specialized skill set is called for … one which she can identify and evaluate in others but may not claim to possess. So, drawing on a network of talented specialists, she has helped find key advertising or web specialists and hold them accountable. I find that honesty very unique and refreshing.”
