About Brand NV

At Brand NV, we understand that successful marketing, branding, and advertising require a diverse set of skills, creativity, and expertise. For many businesses, relying on a single employee to handle these critical functions is not only unrealistic but risky. It’s nearly impossible for one person to possess all the talents needed to execute a cohesive and impactful strategy.

That’s where we come in. We act as a lean, powerhouse marketing agency for our clients. By outsourcing to us, you gain access to a team of specialists who bring years of experience across multiple industries—delivering better quality and greater creativity than an in-house department, without the overhead or headaches of building one.

Since our founding in November 2010, we’ve been empowering businesses to elevate their brands, giving them the strength of a full-scale marketing department at a fraction of the cost. This is what we do—every day, for multiple clients, for over a decade. When you partner with Brand NV, you’re choosing a smarter, more strategic way to grow. Let’s Create Brand NV!

Children's Museum

Working with Nicole over the past year, has truly been a pleasure. Her dedication and passion towards her clients is one of the top reasons she excels as a leader. Our work together with the Glazer Children’s Museum has not only helped my organization blossom in the Tampa Bay region, but has inspired me personally to grow as a marketing expert in my own career.

University College of Law

I am very pleased to recommend Brand NV as an outstanding agency for both the creation of marketing materials and media buying. Stetson University College of Law uses Brand NV to drive attendance to our part-time law school information session campaigns. She combines the current use of innovative technology, media buying experience, negotiation skills, and award-winning creativity. In addition, Nicole is also fluent in Spanish both reading and writing and adds that additional element to help us reach broader audiences. Since we began using Nicole in this capacity four years ago, participation levels at these information sessions continue to climb. I fully anticipate you will experience the same results when working with Nicole and her team.

Non-Profit Housing

All of our national partners were very impressed with your media plan.

They expressed that they had not seen anything like this produced for other cities throughout the country.

The last similar event we had we tried to plan our own media and got lukewarm results at best. With your help and expertise we not only were able to stretch our marketing dollars but had the highest attended event in the country.

Insurance Agency

I have known Nicole for more than 5 years. She got me on the radio which helped my brand a lot. Recently we decided to approach an employer market that we wanted to grow. Our first choice was Nicole. We put together a plan with her and her team which included printed material (letters and postcards). Her firm provided the list, scrubbed it on LinkedIn, printed the materials and mailed them. As a result we are working with a large potential client that if they become a client will of more than paid for this campaign. If you follow her plan you will achieve your goals.
