“I am Nick Armstrong, I live in Fort Collins, Colorado,
and I am Colorado’s
storytelling small business marketing expert at war with business as usual. So
what does that mean, exactly? It means I love innovative small businesses and
freelancers like you – people who live by their own rules. I love to learn what
makes your business tick. Your secret sauce. And then I love to tell people the
story about what you do, how you do it, and why you rock so much harder than
anyone else at it.
I love public speaking, so I frequently give
talks and provide one-on-one mentoring to small business owners. I brainstorm,
strategize, tutor, and get my hands dirty. I’ve got a high-tech background and
a knack for translating technobabble to make web technology seem less scary. Don’t
come to me if you want run-of-the-mill marketing ideas – come to me when you
want to stop worrying about your competition. Come to me when you’ve been
kicked in the nuts and need a leader who can pick you back up and get you
moving again. Come to me when you want to stop messing around with technology
and get serious about marketing your business. Come to me when you need a
paradigm-shifting, market-busting set of new ideas and a team to implement
them.
If that’s you – you can schedule a 15-minute consult
with me today. In my own small business, WTF Marketing, I provide businesses
with storytelling opportunities. Through technology, unconferences, and a
thorough understanding of how community is created and cultivated, WTF
Marketing teaches one-of-a-kind innovative marketing warfare for small
businesses.
Core to WTF Marketing is the Digital
Gunslingers – a weekly, $1 educational series on social media, web technology,
and small business marketing created to support local charities. WTF Marketing
eliminates barriers by offering extremely low-cost web hosting for small
business owners who attend Digital Gunslinger classes or webinars. I believe
strongly in building and supporting my community, so I speak frequently at
Ignite Fort Collins, Ignite Denver, Ignite Boulder, and Ignite Cheyenne. I
build and host events in Fort Collins
like CareerCamp, PodCamp, FreelanceCamp, and TEDxFoCo. I volunteer as an
advisor at the Loveland
Small Business
Development Center
and license the majority of my teaching materials for free and under creative
commons.”
