ABOUT WORD NERD

Learn the history behind our creative marketing agency

and why it pays to have a nerd managing your

content marketing and web design needs!

What’s a Word Nerd Anyway?

Established in 2018, Word Nerd began as a single-person creative marketing agency focused solely on copywriting, proofreading, and editing. Spearheaded by Carly Severino — a renowned “word nerd” by all of her present and former colleagues — what started as a simple freelancing gig has rapidly expanded to encompass additional marketing and web design services. In 2020, Lauren Martin joined the Word Nerd team as co-founder, bringing with her a wealth of experience in digital marketing and web design.

By combining Carly’s hawk-like attention to detail and unparalleled writing skill with Lauren’s intimate knowledge of web design and development, Word Nerd prides itself on obsessing over every element of our clients’ marketing and design needs. Put simply: We are nerds with a passion for bettering business performance!

Why Choose Word Nerd?

Creative marketing agencies are a dime a dozen, right? Wrong! While other marketing agencies tend to over-promise and under-deliver, Word Nerd is committed to up-front, honest communication with every client. We set realistic expectations while doing everything in our power (and within your budget) to deliver tangible results. By taking a deeply personalized approach and aligning our strategies with your business objectives, we are confident in our ability to increase brand awareness, conversions, and sales for your company. Don’t take our word for it — take a look at what some of our clients have to say:

“I have loved every minute working with Word Nerd. I felt like they really took the time to understand my brand and represented it extremely well. They were transparent, easy to work with and everything was always done on time. Worth every penny!!”

“Carly is a talented writer and social media expert, she has successfully grown several of my accounts and understands what it takes to gain new followers and keep them engaged. She has a depth of knowledge of all platforms, and is skilled at writing copy, use of hashtags, analyzing stats, ads, and so much more! She is extremely pleasant to work with, quick to respond, and always stays on top of tasks. A true pro!”

Kari Moe-Hoffmann

“Our non-profit foundation, the Live Like Sam Foundation, based in Park City Utah has been a client of Word Nerd for the last two years. We initially hired Word Nerd to do some basic social media while trying to handle most of our other tasks in-house. It quickly became apparent, that they are geniuses at increasing social media impact, reach, and efficiency, but also have deep expertise in many other areas.

After the first six months of working with Word Nerd, we quickly shifted the vast majority of our creative, public relations, press releases, blogs and other creative copy to their masterful team. We would recommend Word Nerd to any organization that is looking to quickly and powerfully shift their relationship with the way they communicate with their clients, prospects, partners and the outside world. Word Nerd is simply world class!”

At Signature W Studios, we are a small team of digital marketers and we rely heavily on third parties or other contractors to help us get the job done for our clients. Before we met the Word Nerd team and Carly, we were looking for a reliable source for content. Once we started using the Word Nerd team and the resources that Carly has, our content need have been met, they’ve been reliable, consistent, and the quality is outstanding. I can’t recommend them enough and I highly encourage anyone who needs content or who needs to outsource their content to a third party, definitely look at word nerd for all of your content needs.
