Summary
WHAT I DO: I train digital marketers, copywriters, and content writers through my online courses. Specifically, I help writers maximize the impact of marketing messaging by combining the productivity benefits of AI with the human-centric power of Emotional Intelligence. 🗣WHAT OTHERS SAY: “In a world of instant pundits and stuffed shirts, Nick Usborne stands out as an astute, insightful and original mind. He’s able to find substance when others see just fluff, and can cut right to the core of the issue.” - Seth Godin, International Bestselling Author & Speaker “The best writers are also clear thinkers who can distill complex issues and processes into something entirely more manageable. Nick does this well as a writer, certainly. But his talents apply more broadly to business as well. He has a real talent for seeing through the clutter, and recognizing what works and what doesn’t work when marketing online.” - Ann Handley, Chief Content Officer, MarketingProfs.com “I’ve known Nick for a long time. In the early days of digital marketing (prior to Google), he was there helping brands (and me) to think differently about how we create online. He was right back then. He’s still doing it now. Always a pleasure to connect, learn and share with him.” - Mitch Joel, Author, Six Pixels of Separation & CTRL ALT Delete 👀WHERE YOU'VE SEEN MY WORK: I've been fortunate to write copy for a virtual who's-who of clients over the past 40 years, including (but not limited to): 🖋Apple 🖋Chrysler 🖋Citibank 🖋Country Financial 🖋Reuters 🖋The New York Times 🖋U.S. Navy 🖋WebEx WHERE YOU'VE SEEN ME: I've spoken at countless marketing conferences and have conducted in-house seminars and training sessions for many companies, including: 🗣Association of American Publishers 🗣Intuit 🗣John Deere 🗣Merck & Co. 🗣National Cancer Institute 🗣Walt Disney Attractions 🗣Yahoo!
