Let’s Take Your Brand From Invisible to Unforgettable

Hi! I'm Nathan Collier. I'm a former journalist, Semrush Top 100 influencer, champion storyteller, AI content expert, and fractional head of content.

I use research, storytelling, and systems design to take brands from invisible to unforgettable. Your competition will wish they hired me first.

From invisible to unforgettable

The process:

  1. Deep customer research (Jobs to Be Done theory)

  2. Narrative design (One unforgettable story)

  3. BAM! (Brand awareness machines)

  • I move fast. My goal is to deliver in days and weeks instead of months and years.

  • If you aren't happy with my work, you pay nothing until I get it right.

  • I’m available when you need me. If you call, I’ll pick up if I’m available. Or I’ll get back to you ASAP.

How I work

  • I’m a former journalist. In a world of generic content, I put human voices at the center of your marketing.

  • I’m a champion storyteller. I’ve won numerous storytelling competitions and was the 2024 Dayton Story Slam Grand Champion.

  • I’m an AI content expert. I’ve been building AI and GPT-based systems since 2022, well before it became popular to call yourself as a “prompt engineer.”

  • I have two decades of experience and have worked with over 50 startups. Trust your brand to someone with a long track record of success, not a newly-branded “AI expert” with a $20/mo ChatGPT subscription.
