NINA NICHOLS, CEO OF RESOLUTION RESEARCH & MARKETING, INC. RECEIVES DBJ OUTSTANDING WOMAN NOD IN HER 21ST YEAR IN BUSINESS!
Denver, Colo. — August 22, 2011 — Nina Nichols, CEO and founder of Resolution Research & Marketing, Inc.®, has been recognized as a finalist for the Outstanding Women in Business award by the Denver Business Journal (DBJ). The DBJ winner will be announced at a special luncheon to take place Tuesday, August 23.
Nichols is honored to be nominated, saying “these 21 years have flown by, but not without a great amount of hard work, determination, persistence, creativity, and wherewithal. It’s great to be recognized, especially in the audience of such great women with similar drive and dedication.” Nichols started her company not long after graduating from Oklahoma State University. After a stint working for a venture capitalist in Dallas, she moved to Denver, started her company, and gained her first research client, The College Board. (Nichols still works with her liaison from The College Board after all these years.) Simultaneously, Nichols helped build another start-up company designed to provide leads to insurance agents (think one-call comparison shopping for all of one’s insurance needs), which ultimately merged with NetQuote and was later sold so she could focus her efforts on market research. Being the consummate entrepreneur, Nichols has been involved in a number of projects throughout her career including promoting several celebrities and their products on the Home Shopping Network: Jacqueline Stallone (Sly’s mom), Zsa Zsa Gabor with glorious faux jewels, and Mr. Blackwell, who started Hollywood’s Best Dressed List. Today, Nichols is working to create and promote a replacement head for the Sonicare Toothbrush called BoomToothbrush in addition to working on several other startups including one she’s confident will be the “next big social media network.” Currently, Nichols has the exclusive license for reLogic™, a new platform for the market research industry that is the leading connection and discovery platform for analyzing social media listening posts, call center records, and virtually anything that’s text including transcripts and documents – and it does it all in one platform, allowing users to join the data in a comprehensive view. Nichols is very excited about reLogic™ stating, “it gives my clients the ability to make sense of all the social media chatter – from blogs to rating systems – as well as massive data analysis which was never before possible. I’m simply over the moon to offer this to my clients and to help them keep up with today’s technology.”
Nichols attributes her success to always providing quality services, staying abreast of the needs in the marketplace, and surrounding herself with great, honest, committed people – and having fun!
Nichols encourages other women to get involved in organizations that can support them such as Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) and to reach out to their predecessors to learn from their experiences.
