About Us

Founded in November 2010, Create Brand NV emerged from a profound recognition of the gap in the market for businesses seeking expert marketing and branding support. We cater to companies that are too small to afford a full-scale marketing department yet too large for the owner to manage all marketing efforts alone. By partnering with us, you get the expertise of an entire marketing team for the cost of one employee—no benefits or training required.

Our mission is to be our clients’ most trusted marketing partner, delivering winning annual strategies and executing branding, marketing, and advertising initiatives with integrity and care.

We pride ourselves on our bilingual capabilities in English and Spanish, understanding not just the language but the cultural nuances that make a difference. With over 13 years of experience, we bring a wealth of expertise, ensuring our clients’ brands shine brightly in a competitive landscape. Our core values—care, integrity, working smart, adding value, partnership mentality, continuous learning, excellence in communication, and family-first flexibility—guide every decision we make and every action we take.

At Create Brand NV, we don’t just execute marketing tactics; we craft and maintain ideal customer experiences, ensuring that all our strategies align perfectly with our clients’ objectives. Our small but dedicated team focuses on quality over quantity, working tirelessly to advance our clients’ brands as if they were our own. Join us, and let’s make your brand the best it can be.

Testimonials & Endorsements

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.

- Sylvia Alvarez, Housing and Education Alliance, Tampa, FL

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.

Commercial Property Investors

I found Nicole to be a great listener and extremely engaging. She did an excellent job creating a logo that best fits my personality and my company’s message. Nicole came up with a sleek design for my business cards, envelopes, and stationary that I’m proud to distribute to both customers and prospects. I highly recommend Nicole for any marketing needs.

Working with Nicole and her team was a wonderful experience. They brought a personal touch to our grassroots campaign to help promote Tango Fire.
