I HAVE A UNIQUE TALENT ...

For communicating the big picture with clarity and ease. I'm irresistibly drawn to missional organizations in high-growth mode, and my values-based approach brilliantly illuminates the WHY behind what you do.
 
I specialize in positioning intangibles that are transformational in nature. I'm a brand builder, a storyteller and a passionate believer in the power of strategic, measurable brand, marketing and communications. I bring my personal hallmark of uncommon creativity to every project, and my clients appreciate my relational, collaborative approach.

FAMILY IS EVERYTHING.

These two keep me on my toes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. I delight in my unconventional, hilarious and active family. With an uncommon and beautifully unique family makeup, we make it a priority to show up BIG for our people. 

I LOVE THE PERFORMING ARTS.

I’m a lover of all things musical, theatrical and artistic. Besides playing multiple instruments, I’m a member of the award-winning San Diego Chorus and also sing with Nick of Time A Cappella Quartet. A lifelong thread of performing arts has shaped who I am.

WHO’S REALLY RUNNING THE SHOW?

We are animal loving people! These critters factor into our day to day just as much as the humans do. Sienna is our senior rescue pup and couch guardian, Grace Kelly is French Bulldog Royalty and my frequent officemate, while Boogie the cat is OVER IT ALL.

Nicole Knox is a creative, forward-thinking, ambitious professional. While reporting to me at the Walt Disney Company, Nicole always challenged the status quo, got others to believe in her ideas and executed initiatives flawlessly. Her kind, good-spirited way, enables Nicole to develop lasting relationships with peers, clients, friends and family. I’d jump at the chance to have Nicole work within my organization again in the future.

Nicole Knox is incredibly smart, perceptive and the most creative person I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. Her marketing savvy, warmth and incredible sense of humor are infectious.

Nicole has been instrumental in working with my team to launch 4 successful start-ups. Her most recent effort included a comprehensive go-to-market strategy for the launch of iWorkGlobal. Nicole’s expertise and use of advanced tools and methodology helped us move through an interactive process in just weeks. She was able to quickly grasp and help us to expand on our business process, offering, scope and markets. I couldn’t be happier with the results of Nicole’s efforts and the positive impact she has had on our ability to succeed in the marketplace.

Nicole is both skilled and off-the-charts affable. Brilliant and unpretentious. But if that wasn’t enough, she has the wisdom and energy to guide and motivate a team. I have interacted with many incredible personalities and minds over the years, but I have encountered none better than Nicole Knox. She’s the genuine article — do not miss out on the chance to work with her.

Our organization has worked with Nicole for many years now, always with wonderful results. She understands the complexities of our business and is a great partner in managing through the challenges that arise while tackling projects of this magnitude. Most of all, Nicole is easy to work with and has come to be someone that I can really rely on to help us achieve our goals. It is not always easy to understand another company, with their competing priorities, objectives and strategies, but Nicole always “gets it” and has a thoughtful suggestion on how we can be successful.
