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!

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.
