About Nicole Proctor

I use a few wild ideas and carefully selected words to connect humans with products, services, ideas, and most importantly: each other.As a marketing and communications professional in a senior copywriting position, I pull from experiences in industries including non-profits, food and beverage, clean technology, transportation, financial/consulting, legal, lifestyle, HR, and software to connect with readers and users. In a former life I was a server and bartender; I know how to give people the information they need to make a decision. I believe that my deep understanding of a few foundational elements (i.e, inclusive communication best practices, storytelling, SEO, grammar, sales funnels, the buyer\'s journey, basic AI, etc.), paired with a genuine curiosity about the human experience, enables me to create content that resonates with both B2B and B2C audiences.I try my best to be a good teammate and get people to use em-dashes correctly—I will always stop what I\'m doing to help with this one. I also think that accountability, trust, and pride in the work are make-or-break components of what it takes to be successful in any role.(Softpants and proximity to my pets, record collection, and personal library are equally helpful.).Are you a small business or non-profit in need of some marketing assistance? I\'m always happy to explore consultative and freelance opportunities—just reach out.
