Who is Nicole Osborne?
Nicole runs Lollipop Social, a marketing company based in London. She moved from Germany 20 years ago and has worked with many business leaders on marketing and growth. She did well in her career as a marketing director but when she became a mum struggled to find a senior role with flexibility.
She decided to use her skills, experience and passion for helping entrepreneurs to sweeten up their marketing and set up her own business. She upskilled in digital marketing and started Lollipop Social a year ago. The name comes from the fact that she gives her son a lollipop to keep him happy in airport queues.
Nicole comes from a family of Eastern German entrepreneurs and enjoys working with ambitious entrepreneurs, bringing a combination of heaps of German logic and empathy to all her marketing projects.
