As the scope of the digital medium is expanding, various Small and Medium-scale Businesses (SMBs) are also investing in digital marketing and advertising approaches. Today, Ad firms are utilizing SEO tools and social media advertising platforms to increase the visibility of the clients. However, content relevance has proved to be a prevalent trend in 2021. Nick the Marketer is a digital marketing firm that aims to produce outstanding content and user experience to break through the digital noise.
Turning Clicks Into Customers
Nick Hoard started Nick the Marketer in 2018, as a solopreneur trying to generate traffic for the clients through Facebook Ads. With over 10 years of experience in Marketing and Advertising, Nick has helped companies develop winning strategies to grow and expand their business. He has spent countless hours educating himself and his team on the art of ‘turning clicks into customers.’ Today, Nick the Marketer is one of the few agencies that execute their processes in-house. It delivered exceptional services as per the client’s expectations.
“We wanted to be the agency that executed our work 100% in-house and actually deliver the services we promised. Turns out, that is rare in this business and has set us apart,” said Nick.
Initially, Nick was responsible for all the operations of the company. He deemed himself, ‘Chief Everything Officer.’ However, as the team gradually expanded, Nick’s roles gradually diluted to inculcating leadership within his team, collaborating with clients, and identifying marketing trends to keep the company on the front lines as an agency. Nick the Marketer as a company has witnessed a hike in demand as more and more businesses are stepping into the digital domain of doing business. “As a middle-aged entrepreneur, the biggest challenge has been overcoming fear,” mentioned Nick.

A Client-based Approach

Presently, the company is in the final stages of developing a multi-purpose software solution that will benefit digital marketing agencies, service industry businesses, and homeowners with its amazing software-based application. It will have a profound effect on boosting local SEO, showcasing the work of the business, and allowing the consumer to look for the work done by that business, in different areas of the world—including the neighborhood they live in. The company is highly ambitious and believes that its software could be a game-changer for all three of those segments.
Predictions by Nick
Nick predicts that with the introduction of AI, automation, and robotics-based solutions, the industry is set to face a huge price range disturbance. According to him, there are only two possible schools of thought—the industry will either adopt the use of AI and automation to drive the price down and onboard a higher number of clients or it will create a boutique of services. It will provide custom marketing services that have a much higher cost and allow the agency to work with fewer customers as a “boutique” experience. “I am very interested to see what the future holds,” says Nick.
