Communications and public affairs consulting and freelance for hire: Nick Walter

Nick Walter uses more than 25 years of experience as a content marketer and project manager to tell a story.

With specialized outdoor, natural resources and conservation experience working at The Arizona Game and Fish Department, Central Arizona Project, the Bradenton (Fla.) Herald and more, I offer a rare combination of subject-matter and marketing experience.

Clients have included branded outdoors content for “hot vendor” Skyword, Inc. I’ve also been published in the Tampa Tribune, Sarasota Herald-Tribune, and The Gazette in Colorado Springs. It takes someone passionate about The Great Outdoors to speak the same language of those we’re trying to reach.

Results rule: so let's look at a case study

Nick produced a national award-winning “Fish AZ blog” while previously employed with the Arizona Game and Fish Department. What started out as a made-from-scratch blog turned into a content marketing machine.

How does my freelance marketing process work? Look closer

Services can start with a phone call (the free consultation). I get to know you and your goals and how I might best build your business. I’m ready to listen. You have a brand story that needs to be mined, crafted and distributed through the most appropriate media channels. In turn, customers identify with the personality of your brand and reward you by hitting your website and taking action.

Ready to "Get Waltered"?

An award-winning media professional in Phoenix, Ariz. with more than 25 years of experience specializing in content creation and strategy, journalism and public relations, here’s a bit about me …

I love sports (jiu-jitsu and basketball are my main games) and of course outdoors (fishing, mountain biking, hiking, running, watersports, and so on) and eating clean and exercising efficiently for sustained high performance.

I’ve narrowed my primary niche to outdoor recreation, natural resources, science and conservation industries, including nonprofit and government agencies.

Education

Nick holds a Ba. in Communications from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs.
