Nicole Elliott
Conversion Copywriter & Messaging Strategist
Nicole Elliott is a conversion copywriter & messaging strategist who specializes in human-sounding, non-salesy sales copy for entrepreneurs and small business owners. She began her writing career in academia, but got sick of its painfully dry, stuffy, drainedof-all-personality approach to writing.
She found copywriting (and the chance to write like a human!), and never looked back. Today, she cooks up copy with her 3-Step Human First Messaging Approach to help clients nail down their brand voice, capture their audience's actual words with extensive "Voice of Customer" research, and strategically blend the two together for copy that connects and converts.
When she's not writing for clients, Nicole is probably getting lost somewhere on the globe (she's visited 70+ countries & territories and lived in half a dozen), learning languages (she speaks somewhere between 3.5-5, depending on the day and on how much coffee she has had), or teaching the occasional English as a Second Language class.
