While Nikki Alvin-Smith enjoys a career in international equestrian competition, clinics and coaching, her passion for wordsmith work has always been an arena in which she has loved making indelible footprints.
“You never know where life will take you. I fondly remember my late father sent me to visit a prestigious marketing firm in London when I was just 18. I knew I wanted to write for a living I just didn’t know how I was going to accomplish my mission. The Managing Director of the company interviewed me and gave me some sincerely sage advice that many writers have heard but not everyone takes to heart.
“Write about what you know,” he said, “And develop your own unique voice.”
232 plus publications with thousands of authored articles across the globe later, Nikki Alvin-Smith is now both a seasoned content writer and an experienced horse breeder and international level Grand Prix equestrienne.
Nikki’s blog Dressage Art In Motion’s latest post ‘’When to Start Your Homebred Horse,” has garnered much attention.
“I am a blogger for many businesses and always welcome new clientele. Sometimes business owners are somewhat removed from the intent of a blog to convey a personal viewpoint with a distinct author’s voice. The byline offers readers knowledge that the work is from a thought leadership standpoint and many bloggers, happily including myself, enjoy a following across multiple sites for their work. Blogs have been around a long time for good reason. Don’t overlook the blog if you want to develop your business. The shelf life is incredible. It truly is the gift that keeps on giving.”
Nikki’s career to date has included a wide variety of writing tasks, from work as a ghostwriting book author with several titles under her NDA hat to being part of PR teams for celebrities including her 3rd new PR family member, another ‘B’ list movie celebrity.
“I’ve been blessed to work for and with some amazing folks in both my writing and equestrian career. The clients in my current marketing stable are all wonderfully talented individuals and we seek and achieve our common goal that is the successful development of their business. Whether it is training a performance horse or a producing an adept marketing campaign strategy with creative content, both require full focus and engagement and both are collaborative team projects,” explains Nikki.
The latest publications to resource Nikki’s work include the fabulously niche, “Mules and More,” Canada’s editorial award winning and high profile “Horse Community Journals, Canada Horse Journal.”
“I believe serious business can be fun. My British sense of humor combined with my unique voice (I mean writing voice not just my actual voice, which is a weird combo of British accent with American language!), and singular background offers clients a remote team member that brings something completely different to the table. Content that provides authority and thought leadership but with that creative flair that energizes the message to half pass and dance across the arena with elevated steps that touch the hearts of riders of all ages. I simply love doing what I do,” says Nikki.
