About Nick Taylor

My marketing career was the best accident that ever happened to me. And the story of how I got here sounds completely made up. I’ll tell you about that in a moment, but first, here’s work-me: I’m a storyteller at heart, crafting data-informed content that makes audiences fall in love with products and brands. I love nothing more than sitting with a bunch of analysts and creatives, turning our insights and creative learnings into compelling stories for our next set of customers. Having cut my teeth at a fast-paced startup, I now have more than 8 years of experience spanning creative strategy, growth and performance marketing, art direction, and content production. A jack of all trades if you will, I love work that keeps me on my toes. Art direct this photoshoot? Sure! Make a video for social using just a potato? Of course! My versatility, curious mind, and comfort in being wrong have always been key to my success. And as for how I got here: I’ve always been a Creative and a Maker, working long hours to fund my next project. So when I fell in love with my wife who lived on the other side of the world, I packed my toolboxes, and moved from London to California. While looking for work I started a leatherworking business and invested in the Glowforge pre-order campaign, knowing a laser would help me grow my business. Not willing to wait for the product to ship, I joined the Glowforge team, and there I stayed for 8 years. Thanks to an incredible group of leaders who helped nurture my curiosity and leverage my passion, I’ve grown from an artist to a full-stack creative marketer. And now? Well I’ve come full circle, except now I get paid to create.If you’re looking for someone to join your team, or just want to talk about content strategy, table saws or anything in between, connect with me!

Experience

1. Senior Content Strategist and Producer

   I turned broad strategies into compelling stories, collaborating closely with channel owners to rapidly iterate and learn. I produced in-house content for quick tests, art directed larger shoots with external production companies, and managed artists for prop creation. In addition to pre-purchase content, I collaborated with Product and Customer Success to create post-purchase content, building advocates through delightful experiences.
