Co-Founder and CEO

1st Gen Entrepreneurs

I offer coaching & consulting to business owners who want to grow with purpose.

As the first person in my family to start a business (aka 1st Gen Entrepreneur) I know the challenges that come with navigating the unknown. After building my first business from scratch and selling it 15+ years later, I enjoy sharing my hard earned lessons with others so they can succeed.

Business Coach

SKYE Technologies

I founded SKYE Technologies in 2006 to address the tech needs of small businesses in the area. What started as a "one man show" evolved over a 15 year period before selling the company.

As true partner for our clients, we aligned our business interests with theirs. This model enabled us to put technology to good use in a way that helped them grow and succeed. We prided ourselves on starting and maintaining mutually beneficial relationships.

As the founder, my personal experience included:

- Providing strategic technology consulting and advice for both existing and potential clients
- Developing new business through networking, advertising and referrals
- Maintaining strong relationships with existing clients
- Ensuring customer satisfaction and responsiveness to feedback
- Creating and evolving internal processes to increase efficiency
- Researching new technologies and examining their benefits/drawbacks as they pertain to business

In July 2021 we announced the sale of SKYE Technologies to a larger regional firm.

Founder & CEO (Exited in 2021)

I ❤️ 1st Gen Entrepreneurs • Learn more at 1stGen.biz 👊

I'm an IT guy turned Entrepreneur who loves the art of building and growing successful businesses.

I started my first business (Skye Technologies) in 2006, grew it organically for 15+ years, then sold it in 2021. 

After that, I began offering business coaching/consulting under the banner 1st Gen Entrepreneurs. As the first person in my family to start a business, I know what it's like to learn everything the hard way. My goal with 1st Gen is to help others in the same situation to build healthy, sustainable businesses without as much headache & heartache.

Most recently, I became the CEO of a new venture called Skye Equipment Rentals. As a proud, independent, locally owned business, we are looking to become the #1 source for contractors in Oldham County and surrounding areas for all their construction equipment needs.

Thanks for taking a look at my profile and feel free to hit me up...  I love to talk business ☕️

Simplifying marketing for financial advisors I Saving you time so you can focus on your clients I Making sure you stay well connected with your clients and prospects

Hey there! So glad you stopped by!

My name is Niki and I am a marketing consultant, coach, and specialist for financial advisors. 

Sometimes, I’m simply a sounding board. 

Advisors need someone to talk to also!

In 2016 I got my FPQP designation because I find finance incredibly interesting. This designation and education allow me to serve you better.

I help with marketing strategies, building brand awareness, thought leadership, and growing your business.

Let's show the world what a great advisor you are!

As a woman in the finance industry, I am a strong advocate for amplifying the voices of females in finance! 

People always like to know a person’s “why.”

Here’s mine:

Working with financial advisors has to be one of the most fulfilling things I get to do.

Advisors are some of the most caring and selfless people I know. I see what they do each and every day and how much they care for their clients.

If I can help you with your marketing and business growth so you can take care of your clients better, everyone wins!

When not working, I am pestering my husband, learning about how to not annoy my pre-teen daughter, kissing all over our one-year-old baby boy. chasing after my dogs, and constantly taking pictures. 

On a quest to dive deeper into the bible and learn more about Jesus! Highly recommend the book Driven by Eternity! 

We live in an area surrounded by mountains, so there is a lot of time spent exploring, hiking, and searching for antiques in small, mountain towns. 

Hippie at heart!


Specialties:

⚫ Content strategy
⚫ Social media marketing
⚫ Campaign management 
⚫ Email marketing strategy
⚫ Advocate for relatable content
⚫ Brand awareness and recognition
⚫ Engagement and relationship management

And making finance fun!

Follow me for marketing tips and advice.

Every single one of these books was either gifted to me this year or recommended by someone.

And every single one has drastically improved the way I think and work.

If I could sum up all of these books into one over our thing, it would be this: Stop holding yourself back and go make things happen.

What books have you read lately that have helped you either personally or professionally?

Non-Boring Marketing for Financial Advisors

No alternative text description for this image

Off to celebrate my birthday this weekend. 🎂

I can't believe 2025 is almost over... but here we are!
The marketing predictions for 2026 have been popping up all over the place and my team and I have... well, we have some thoughts.

In this article, instead of just telling you what the predictions are, Blair, Rachel, and I tell you what we think about them. 

This is basically an inside look at our stream-of-consciousness Slack channel.

Take a look and let me know - what do you think marketing will look like next year?

By Niki Clark, Rachel Clark, and Blair Kelly Key Takeaways 1. Trust beats volume. Original insights, real people, and public proof outperform high-out

Marketing Predictions for 2026: What Matters In the Coming Year

Ever feel like marketing is moving faster than your morning coffee can kick in?

Same.

There’s so much cool stuff happening right now. New platforms, new rules, new ways to connect. It’s exciting and a little overwhelming.

The good news is, you don’t have to chase every shiny thing to stay relevant.
But it is fun to see what’s shaking up out there.

Over the past few months, our team has been deep in research mode, tracking what’s actually changing the game. Not a giant trend report (because who has time for that), just the ones that matter.

Like Instagram quietly deprioritizing the feed (yes, really), new email marketing regulations, and the constant buzz of SMS notifications trying to steal your attention.

So, Rachel, Blair and I pulled together a list of what’s hot, what’s fading, and what’s next. And we made sure it’s actually fun to read.

Here’s a sneak peek 👇
You can find the full blog in the comments.

Now tell me, which marketing trend has you most curious or completely over it?
