Nikki Estes

Hey there! 👋

I’m Nikki Estes — a growth-focused connector, strategist, exit founder, and event architect who supports visionary leaders, creators, and mission-driven brands how to earn trusted visibility, network, host, and lead rooms that actually build trust.

When you know the most powerful marketing happens when you show up as a human first — building networks that trust, engage, and move with purpose will prove natural.

Our team and I help over 100 founders, executives, and investors “stop representing brands or attending events” and start designing experiences people remember, talk about, and move with.

Our work blends human psychology, marketing, and community design — turning events, summits, and stages into engines for credibility, relationships, and long-term opportunity.

###🛠️ Why Me and Our Team???

My path into marketing and community-building started in fintech, not polished theory. I served as SVP of Marketing at iCheckGateway.com, a platform my husband and our team bootstrapped for 16 years before its successful acquisition in June 2024. Building from the ground up taught me that sustainable growth doesn’t come from shortcuts or noise — it comes from trust, relationships, and showing up consistently where it matters.

That experience led me to found Market Me More, a fractional marketing and brand growth company built to help leaders and growing companies scale without losing their humanity. Along the way, I coined the term Human Networking Executive to describe a connection-first approach to marketing and partnerships — one rooted in credibility, aligned relationships, and human presence before promotion.

Today, I focus on teaching founders, executives, creators, and brands how to build influence through rooms, relationships, and experiences that last. I’m the builder behind communities like LinkedIn Top Voices Unite, connecting leaders, investors, and creators, and Our team is known for turning events, summits, and gatherings into relationship accelerators, not one-off moments. My work helps brands move beyond marketing buzzwords into human-first engagement that actually drives growth.
