Nicole Liakopoulos
Brand & Business Builder
Nicole’s sense of adventure got turned up to 11 during a semester abroad in Tuscania, where no one spoke English. Turns out there’s no better way to beef up a communication studies degree than figuring out how to connect when you don’t share a language. She’s been chasing that exhilaration ever since. New people, fresh ideas, and unexpected experiences are Nicole’s idea of a good time. When she found marketing — a career where no two days (or even hours) are the same — she was hooked. Nicole joins the Toolbox A-Team with years of agency experience and boundless curiosity in tow.
Specialty
Nicole’s sweet spot is bringing in new business by learning about yours. What makes your technology tick? What keeps your customers up at night? She’s a great listener, a dot connector, and a momentum builder. When she’s not at the ‘Box, you’ll find Nicole running after new experiences as well as her toddler. These days, one of the best parts about traveling the world is sharing it with her husband and seeing everything through her daughter’s eyes.
