About
My name is Nicole Martin
I have helped hundreds of small business' achieve their dreams. Jumping from the guaranteed income of a secure job to taking the leap into self-employment. It's my passion to see people succeed and push the limits to show you, that you can do it.
That's why I'm here and you are on my website.
My journey began in 2006, at the ripe age of 14. I found an old version of Photoshop on my computer and what do you know, You can make some pretty cool graphics with horses! This led me from one thing to another; next I was creating websites with these graphics and learning to code with Dreamweaver, I mean, normal 14 year old behaviour right?!...
Rhetorical question.
Fast forward to 17, I enrolled myself into Natcoll Design College. I was the youngest there so I didn't get to do the fun after class, Friday afternoon things but I did get so immersed in my studies, I stayed late almost every day (including weekends!) because I HAD to know the in's and out's. I had to make this my career, I had genuine PASSION that has never left me.
Something I am incredibly proud of. I knew what I wanted to do and I was going to make it happen. I was going to be a woman with a powerful career. I was going to make a difference.
And then what, Nicole?
Well, I graduated. Time to apply for roles in my Industry!
I looked
and looked
and looked.
My portfolio was strong, there were no jobs.
I graduated with 30 other people looking for the same...
This wasn't how it was supposed to work was it? How do I get experience, Learn more about where this will take me, Start making change, Where were these jobs that were promised?!
There were none.
Red flag. Think on your feet Nicole, what are you going to do?
$15,000 down the drain.
Nope. Not this girl. I was doing what I signed up for. I wanted this.
I landed an job as a Senior Administrator (talk about jumping in the deep end...) and I started to develop my portfolio doing work for friends, family, friends of friends.
OMG.. Go on, Nicole. What was next?!
Well, I developed a reasonably good portfolio whilst grinding that 9-5pm Corporate life until 2015. I was on track saving for a house and the company I was working for went into Liquidation. The days where PAYE was paid separately, I lost over $10,000 in KiwiSaver.
I was deflated and defeated. Before I go on, Let me tell you. Anyone who knows me, knows I am Ambitious. I do not just give up.
This is my ticket to going out on my own.
And I did it. 2015 I started "Boomedia"
adjective
-
BOOM.
I was overwhelmed with how Taxes worked, GST, Engagements, Learning how to market myself, put myself out there, Client relations, Communications - Everything.
"Everything" turned out just fine.
Then I realised, This is my niche. I want to help small business' start, I want to help make that leap with you.
Fast forward, now in 2024.
I made it. All the worries and doubts are a thing of the past.
From "just" being a graphic designer to building intricate websites, creating and implementing marketing strategies, helping business start-ups, being the person on the end of the phone making plans, nutting out problems, being my clients reassurance.
Nurturing long-term client relationships and being an important part of their framework.
I couldn't be more prouder or appreciative of the journey. I made it. I made a career out of my passion and 17 years later, I still love what I do. Every day I wake up with excitement for the new days projects.
I relish working with people who have absolutely zero idea about marketing but have a passion and desire to get their product or service out there. I love working together to get YOUR story out there to create your success! One of my greatest successes was working with a client who was self-professed “useless” at graphics and marketing but they are now hitting the world stage with their amazing range of products. They just needed that extra help with brand strategy, getting their digital marketing nailed and letting the world know who they are!
How lucky am I?
