Meet Nikki
Hi! I'm Nikki, and Nota Bene is my business-baby.
Like a lot of businesses that started in 2020, Nota Bene was born during COVID. But the journey actually started long before that.
I've always loved building things online. Over the years I've had a few little businesses and side projects, and somewhere along the way I realised I was spending just as much time learning about marketing as I was running the businesses themselves. Before I knew it, helping other businesses with their marketing had become the business.
These days, Pinterest is my speciality.
Not because it's the newest marketing trend (it's definitely not), but because I genuinely think it's one of the most overlooked opportunities for service-based businesses.
For years, I thought Pinterest was somewhere to save recipes, holiday ideas and dream kitchens. It wasn't until I started paying attention to how I was actually using it that I realised I was discovering businesses, reading blogs, downloading resources and buying products without even thinking about it.
That's when the penny dropped.
If I was finding businesses that way, other people were too.
That curiosity turned into a bit of an obsession, and these days I spend a lot of my time helping businesses understand how Pinterest fits into their wider online presence.
That doesn't mean Pinterest is the only thing I do.
Your online presence is made up of lots of moving parts. Social media, blogs, email marketing, lead magnets, podcasts and your website all have a role to play, and I love helping businesses bring those pieces together in a way that feels manageable and makes sense for them.
When I'm not working, you'll usually find me hanging out with my husband and our two teenagers, trying to tire out Alfred (our slightly bonkers Boxer), out on the kayak or paddleboard, in the garden growing dahlias, or making jewellery.
I genuinely love what I do, and I feel incredibly lucky that I get to build a business around helping other businesses grow theirs.
Meet Maris

I worked as an HR Assistant in one of the most famous events place in our town before becoming a writer for a Digital Marketing Agency based in Florida. My curiosity and eagerness have allowed me to discover the different things I could offer to other business owners.It's an amazing and rollercoaster experience to learn social media management, content creation, graphic design, copywriting, and website designing all while staying at home taking care of my children.
