Renegade Marketing

About the founders:

Nicole Ekholm

Born and raised in Massachusetts, Nicole is a Rhode Island transplant who obtained her B.A. in English, specializing in Writing, Communications, & Rhetoric, from the University of Massachusetts and later her M.Ed of Middle School Education from Lesley University.  After twelve years in the classroom, Nicole’s personal passions called her away from teaching and into the realm of digital content creation, where she launched her personal brand and blog, scaling up a social media following to 20k+. Additionally, Nicole has worked with a number of companies in brand partnerships and as a travel influencer. She is well-versed in copywriting, brand vision and strategy, social media management, web and graphic design. 

Rachel Jordan

Hailing all the way from Mississippi (yes – another Rhode Island transplant), Rachel is a passionate creative thinker and designer, who fell quickly into place in the world of marketing after graduating from Johnson & Wales University. With 5+ years of marketing management and consulting, millions of dollars in revenue growth, and two international marketing design awards, Rachel is well-equipped with the knowledge and experience of growing businesses through email marketing and automation, branding, web and graphic design, social media management, copywriting, and event management.

When she’s not working tirelessly to help grow your business, you’ll find her out traveling the world and usually sipping a bottle of white wine (Sauvignon Blanc, preferably!).
