Welcome to my Social Media and Marketing Innovation Blog where I offer to share my thoughts and expertise in the realm of marketing and the like. I hope to hear your thoughts as well, the good, the bad, and the ugly. The crazy world of marketing is constantly evolving and I’m working to be on the forefront of change. I’ll share my thoughts with you and hopefully you’ll share yours with me. Together we will pave the way to bring innovation to the world of sales and marketing.
Who am I? I am the Director of Social Media for CareOne Debt Relief Services, where I use social media tools to create a virtual support group for those who are struggling to get out of debt. My past has included working for The Sherwin-Williams Company, Signs By Tomorrow-USA, The Federal Reserve Bank, Caliber Learning Network, and Deutsche Bank Alex. Brown. I have a fairly holistic background in marketing and believe in creating synergies between marketing and sales teams to drive organizational effectiveness.
Living in Baltimore, I keep myself grounded with my wonderful husband and two amazing sons, who are now 11 and 9.
These thoughts are my own. They don’t represent the thoughts or opinions of my employer, my previous employers, my husband, my children, my extended family, or my 4 cats. No I’m not a cat lady. Monica, Phoebe, Joey, and Chandler are friends. I couldn’t bear separating them and trust me they don’t know anything about marketing. Maybe I’m just cat woman!
You’ll notice at the bottom of many of my posts, I offer you the documents used to create the post. Just send me an email at nichole@nicholekelly.com if there is a post you’d like more information about. I’ll respond as quickly as I can.






Hi Nichole,
Thanks for the great feedback on my blog post: mapping marcom mix to the lead funnel. It is a challenge to fit everything into a single slide and still have it readable. Your comments on “nurturing programs” are exactly right.
