Ann Weber | Artist

My initial goals were to update my skills in promoting my artwork on social media. Since starting to work with Nicole in May 2021, my Instagram has grown from 4,000 to over 170,000 followers.

We meet for an hour a week and I have about 4-6 hours of homework based on the goals we establish. She has helped me switch to Mailchimp, create newsletters and segment my email list, design a Public Art Proposal for a client in Denver, and increase my proficiency in all aspects of the “computer” side of my art practice. 

She is a great listener, problem solver, and advisor on all things relating to the business of art. From promoting self-care, sharing my successes, and reframing rejections. She is my lifesaver. If you are an artist ready to jump to a higher level, are ambitious, hardworking, and willing to learn new skills start working with Nicole Slater. You will be surprised at how many doors open for you.

When I first met Nicole I didn't know a story from a reel from a post on Instagram. Now I have tools and can focus on sharing and connecting with artists, curators, and galleries using social media. Nicole also helped me understand the ins and outs of Mailchimp (including analytics) and I've gotten great feedback and viewership rates on my newsletters.

Also, I really appreciate Nicole's talent with words and I love brain-storming with her: she's helped me name artworks, edit proposals, and also helped title an exhibition for a competitive proposal that was ultimately accepted.

Working with Nicole has been an absolute pleasure — she’s smart, creative, really knows her stuff, and is fun to work with AND she really understood me and my vision for my business. I began working with Nicole to build and maintain a social media presence. When we started, I didn’t even have an Instagram account, know what a hashtag was or how to use them. I now have hundreds of Instagram followers and a consistent, congruent marketing plan.

Thanks to Nicole's infectious enthusiasm I’ve been able to envision and articulate broader goals to become more visible and grow my business.

Nicole Slater and I worked together fashioning a plan to market my architecture business, which does residential remodels and additions. She researched the kinds of customers I should target, as well as suggested improving my website and creating a video for new prospects. I’m still considering the video, but our website improvements are already resulting in additional business inquiries. Nicole Slater is not only very knowledgeable and creative, but also she’s a delightful and enthusiastic business partner.
