Lorena Pascual

Chief People Officer at Ogilvy Latin America

My name is Lorena Pascual, I'm Chief People Officer for Ogilvy Latam. In my role I received many many offers to deliver different training options. And  regarding English courses, we all have a lot of options available. However, when I heard about Nick's offering, I had the confidence that this could be different. So, I decided to give it a shot. We do not have a big budget so we really need to choose options carefully. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. The training was super successful. Our creative team was extremely engaged, eager to participate and all recognized the true value in his specialized lessons. What I like the most is the personalized experience people can have with Nick, while giving specific and extremely relevant knowledge on how to sell ideas in English. It's not just another English course. I would definitely recommend Nick to any other agency!

My name is SalomƩ and I'm a brand strategist at Ogilvy Argentina. The agency offered me the chance to do a little course with Nick and unfortunately I couldn't be in every class because of work. But the ones that I've managed to attend were brilliant. I would love to repeat it sometime as I've really appreciated the specific vocabulary and native manners he taught us, they are too useful. I consider it's not easy to incorporate them immediately, but practicing the language helped me a lot. Thanks Nick!

I'm a senior copywriter and a native Spanish speaker, and this course has helped me a lot in understanding those small details that can have a big impact on improving pitching and storytelling in English. The vocabulary is super specific for these purposes, which is great. Professor Nick really cared about our learning as a group and gave us time to understand at our own pace. It's a highly personalized experience. The material he prepares for the classes fits well into a one-hour session. I recommend it 100% for future students.

Hi ā€“ Simon here. I'm a GREAT Danish copywriter. Even teaching other (Danish) copywriters to improve their copywriting. But my English SUCKED. (Look, it's in past tenseā˜ļø) So I reached out to Nick. And we agreed on a 10 weeks program. Here, Nick gave me everything I needed to: 1) believe in myself as a copywriter who could ALSO write in English 2) actually write in English. So, now I have published 3 articles in the coolest Email Marketing Blog on the entire internet: Inbox Collective. Thanks to Nick.

I highly recommend Copy-Script-Idea to any creative, looking to excel internationally. The videos, and workbook tasks provided valuable writing and storytelling practice, while providing innovative technical resources for taking ideas into scripts. It significantly boosted my confidence in English without relying on translations. And, unlike traditional language classes, this course offers a modern and practical approach to non-native creative professionals, making it exceptionally useful for professional development in advertising.

I'm a creative copywriter from Argentina. Interested in exporting my ideas to the world, I started working with Nick to improve and be able to work as a native English speaker. Thanks to Nick's help, I've learned to write and introduce my ideas in a better way, and I've gained a lot of confidence with the language. Highly recommended for all professionals.

It was a pleasure working with Nick to enhance the copywriting skills of a non-native writer on our team. Nick's tailor-made courses were adaptive to the individual's needs and job context. His versatility, responsiveness, and unconventional teaching methods make him a standout choice for anyone looking to boost their writing prowess. He's a bit crazy, but in the best possible way!

Levent

Senior Creative at 14/DDB

Iā€™m Levent Onur Ozdogan; a Turkish creative copywriter who started his international career at the age of 37. So, I had little sense of my whereabouts in the English creative writing proficiency scale - if such a scale exists. And no, an ā€œEnglish teacherā€ in the traditional sense of the word cannot help you. You need someone specialised in this, someone not only can teach creative and compelling writing but also understands how ideas work, how an agency functions, how a concept is sold. Thatā€™s unique. And thatā€™s Nick. He showed me where I was and what I needed to do to go further. And the best part is that he does it with real examples from real cases. It can even be a half-cooked idea that you plan on pitching to your ECD or your client. Real progress demonstrated in real work. Thatā€™s what I love the most about Nickā€™s programme and I can recommend him to any agency with a serious passion for global work.

Nick, the program for me has been incredible.  I have been studying English for the last two years, but your approach is great, because you perfectly understand my needs as ECD. Tell the story, create the expectation, and say Boom! This is the idea!

Having Nick as a teacher is a great experience. A language wizard who teaches English with humour and ease. He can assess your proficiency and take you to several levels higher. Learning from him doesn't feel like taking lessons at all. Often, a session ends before you even realize it. Thanks Nick for all the knowledge!

This is the guy! I strongly recommend Nick's classes to any copywriter who wants to improve their creative copy His classes helped me change my mindset around scripts/headlines and make me think like an English native - rather than just translating stuff! And most importantly, he's cool and funny, and puts a lot care into his classes, turning each session into something uniquely different from the others. This makes the hours go by in the blink of an eye. And feels like you're always learning with another copywriter who has a lot of knowledge about ads, campaigns, and the deeper intricacies of English copy. So if you're still thinking about working with him, just go, dude! Send a message over to him, and enjoy what's coming.

Having Nick as a strategic partner helped our agency see dramatic growth in monthly revenue. His thought-leadership content and sales systems afforded us the time to really focus on the quality of our output, while bringing in leads that helped scale our business. I just wish we worked with someone like him a lot sooner!

I came to know Nick's work when I was looking to improve my English writing creatively. Unlike other English teachers that I had the opportunity to learn from, Nick really focuses on your objectives, teaching you the base of the language so you have more confidence and knowledge to break rules and be creative. The classes were clear, interesting and all the material is extremely valuable even when the module is over. I really recommend Nick's coaching if you want to improve your English on a native level.

It was a pleasure to have Nick as my English copywriting teacher. The 12-week course is absolutely worth your money because it's packed with lots of useful tips and tricks. The most English writing courses will only give you English theory about things such as adverbial clauses, relative pronouns and tenses (present continuous et cetera). Nick learns you also other things you need a lot as a copywriter or UX writer but which aren't easy to google. For example: How can I avoid monotony in my copy? How do I let it sound like a native speaker? How can I persuade someone with my text? How can I shorten my sentences without getting wrong grammar? Very useful and therefore I recommend the English copywriting course for non-native speakers.

Working closely with Nickā€™s been dope. His care, attention, and deep knowledge resulted in a sharp, bold, extremely efficient methodology that would definitely help every creative breathing around this enigmatic blue planet to improve their English-speaking/writing chops. Keep up the good work, Nick. Youā€™re slaying at it, bruv ; )

When I first saw one of his posts, I thought, "He's focussing on non-native copywriters. Ok, that's intriguing." So, I decided to confirm if his lessons were as good as his business idea. And they definitely are. What else could I say? Reach out to Nick. You'll have tailored and entertaining classes from someone who understands the copywriting world.

As a non-native English speaker, Iā€™d sometimes feel insecure of my copywriting skills. But Nick helped me discover the nuances of the language, what sounds better for native speakers, and some advanced grammar that I hadnā€™t seen in any other program before. Plus, his lessons were fun! I really recommend his work if youā€™re looking to improve your English copywriting.

My English is quite good, but to me, that's not enough. I don't want to write like a native, I want to write like an amazing English copywriter. I want flow, flair, and punch. Today I had my first session with Nick and got exactly what I was looking for. Nick's lessons will definitely bring my English to the next level. And I'm sure my Dutch copy will benefit from them too. Nick is a great copywriter and a great teacher. I'll be back for more!

It had never crossed my mind that I had the option of pulling from the same intuitive source when writing in English as I do when I use in my native language. But then I met Nick........
