About Me | Nick Damren, Email Marketer & SEO Specialist

I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, majoring in Finance and with a minor in Information Technology. Since graduation, I have continued my education with online courses. I have a SEO Specialization from UC Davis Extension and I am currently finishing my Salesforce Admin Certification through Salesforce’s Trailhead program.

I am a seasoned Email Marketer and SEO Specialist. In the past several years, I have helped clients and companies show their worth to potential customers by curating their online image and helping them develop targeted messaging and nurture campaigns.

In my spare time, I like to relax with hobbies and enjoy the company of friends. If I’m not biking the Charles, rock climbing in the gym, or busting my knuckles working on my car, I often find myself wrapped up in miscellaneous DIY projects that grab my interest (very ADHD, I know).

As a constant, and above all else, I love figuring out how things work and putting in the effort to do a job right. I hope that my next project will be working on your website or with your business!
