Limitless Possibilities

Building A Dream Life Through Consistent Base Hits

I’ve always had fairly big dreams, but a risk-averse personality. My goal is to continuously improve life each day.

Professional

Overview

I am an entrepreneurial marketer with 20 years of hands-on expertise in building, turning around, and growing businesses across multiple verticals.

Job Roles

My roles have ranged from Pricing Consultant at SKP to Director of Marketing, Chief of Staff and operations roles, but the constant has always been using data to make smart decisions.

My greatest strength lies in my ability to see both the big picture and get into the smallest of details to connect the dots into successful strategies.

My entrepreneurial experience lets me iterate quickly and manage the integration of marketing, sales, operations, customer service and finance to create profitable strategies.

Entrepreneurial

The Early Years

My interest in building business began in high school with a car speaker installation business. From there I chose to go to Babson specifically because of their Entrepreneurship Business Degree.

Building A Boutique Marketing Agency

After having worked in-house at a successful turn around company in Mountain View and struggling to find great agency support, it was clear there was a market opportunity in the digital advertising world for a specialized agency model that brought the benefits of an agency but worked like an in-house team.

Attis Media is that agency. We are usually brought on board by owners or senior leadership to drive their paid media strategy and directly integrate with other departments. Our average client tenure is 3+ years.

Bootstrapped Web Venture

As an internal agency project, we strategized, built and launched an online business and generated our first sale in 10 days. That business has consistently generated sales for 5 years on autopilot and a testing ground for marketing ideas and tools.

Life

Balance Of Urban & Mountain

My wife and I currently split our time between Denver and Crested Butte, CO.

Our time in Denver is primarily spent working, but once we get to CB we like to live a simple life, spending as much time outdoors as possible. Last season we got 50 ski days in and 20 days of mountain biking.

When I’m not outside I’ll be spending my free time reading, working to perfect recipes like fresh cheese or paella, or relaxing in front of the fireplace with a hot toddy.

My Thoughts On The World…

Building A Life

Too often we can wake up and realize some aspect of life is out of balance. My goal is to live consciously and deliberately.

Marketing & Business

I suspect I was meant to be an engineer. I love math and building things, but was trying hard not to follow directly in my older brother’s shoes. Business and marketing have many similarities.

Money & Finance

For better or for worse, money is probably the ultimate tool. If you can find ways to make it work for you instead of the other way around – you unlock new doors of freedom.

Project Forty.365

ByNick Pompa September 15, 2024September 15, 2024

I’m less than a month away from my 40th birthday. Apparently, I’m supposed to be having a midlife crisis now. Soon? If you exclude the spontaneous purchase of our retirement flat in Italy earlier this year – I’m gonna shrug and say “meh”? …Maybe it will hit me soon. I think I’m supposed to be…
