Nicole Warshauer

Hi, I’m Nicole

I build engaged communities.

I’m one part marketer and one part word wrangler, often fueled by baked goods and a well-placed Oxford comma.

I’m best known for delivering carefully crafted marketing strategies that create communities of brand evangelists.

A bit about me

In the 15+ years I’ve been a legit, full-time working adult, I’ve led high-performing teams of digital marketers, community managers, and content creators. My experience spans tech to education, with key strengths in marketing strategy, content management, and community development.

I’ve led community-focused marketing initiatives for some wonderful companies and brands, including the likes of Yelp, Trusted Health, General Assembly, Dribbble, Dior Cosmetics, The Mom Project, Weather.com, Chase, MAC, and a bunch more.

When I’m not working on marketing and community things, I like to binge-watch various TV series, eat brownies, and do yoga, just not all at the same time.

Why community?

Community is the connection that your audience has with your product, your service, and your brand. When you engage your community, you build trust, authority, and goodwill. Every company could use a little more of that tremendous trifecta.

At Innovations for Learning, an e-literacy nonprofit organization, I built a community management program that connected thousands of corporate and community tutors to under-resourced first-grade classrooms. These tutors helped their students learn to read through weekly, online sessions that built literacy skills and fostered a joy for reading.

Yearly community engagement growth

During my 7+ years at Yelp, I built and led a team of talented community managers across the Midwest. To further activate growth in Yelp communities, I created a new role to amplify online engagement — the Online Community Ambassador. Additionally, I directed all of the editorial content for 85+ writers on the Yelp Community Blog, the official voice of the Yelp Community Management Team.

Campaign blog post traffic

In December 2019, I executed a fully integrated marketing and communications campaign with the goals of building community and establishing authority in the design community. This campaign included an interactive landing page, exportable full-results PDF, PR efforts, social media campaign, and a flurry of blog posts.

We reached our 30-day site traffic goal in just three days and landed seven media hits, including articles in USA Today and Fast Company.
