Racing media contest announces winners

I learned today that I'm the recipient of three awards from the American Auto Racing Writers and Broadcasters Association and its annual Media Contest.

First place: Online deadline news report, "Kenseth moves Majeski for Slinger score" - Speedsport.com.
Second place: Magazine event report, "It's Back!" - Full Throttle Magazine (story was about racing's return to the Milwaukee Mile with the ARCA Midwest Tour)
Second place: Online feature, "The school paper that changed Chase Briscoe's life" - Speedsport.com.

I'm thankful and excited to add these honors to my portfolio. It brings my writing awards tally to 40, including 16 first-place honors.

Thank you AARWBA!

Testimonials

"Nick is a very insightful and enthusiastic digital marketer with a wealth of knowledge that he happily shared with my students. It also gave me the opportunity to understand the life of a social media marketer better and appreciate the challenges of remaining relevant in this high-velocity, dynamic field!"

--- Ishita Chakraborty, Asst. Prof of Marketing at UW Madison

"As a member of the West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce, Nick provided two fantastic marketing virtual seminars to our Chambers members. The series, 'Digital Marketing in COVID-19 era,' was both timely and relevant as it covered both: 'How to Make Social Media Work for You' and 'Understanding Google Analytics.' Nick was professional, well prepared, and extremely knowledgeable in the topics. The seminars were the highest attended for our Chamber and the evaluations raved about his knowledge, ability to explain the topics, and follow up with the participants. The WBA Chamber is appreciative of Nick's willingness to share his expertise with our small business members as they struggle to navigate the changes COVID-19 has presented for their livelihood. If your organization is struggling to find a presence on social media, I highly recommend you contact Nick."

--- Lisa Disch-Johnson, West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce

"Nick was directly responsible for taking our social media to the next level at West Bend Theatre Company, Inc. He continues to serve us as a member of our board of directors, and as an influencer of our social media program. Nick has updated, or added new social media channels, established social media plans for us, and given us year over year growth in our online presence. Nick is well respected both inside and outside of our organization. I would readily endorse him for his skills in Google Analytics, Web Design, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and related social media and marketing efforts."

--- Nancy Storrs, Nonprofit Marketing, Community Event Strategist
