Nikole Haumont (nih-KOLE HO-mont) is an agency founder and marketing speaker who helps $1–10M SMB leaders replace random acts of marketing with measurable, repeatable systems. Her talks focus on why decisions matter, what to measure next, and the due-diligence questions leaders should research before approving spend—not just more tactics. She is the founder of Shield Bar Marketing (2013), a done-with-you growth partner that equips internal teams with clear priorities, scorecards, and momentum.

Nikole has been HTML certified since 1999 and has spent two decades building and refining digital strategy for companies across the U.S., Canada, and northern Mexico. Recognition includes 2018 New Business of the Year (Green Valley–Sahuarita Chamber), three-time Best Marketing Services (AZ19 region), 2019 “Most Influential People” honoree, and runner-up on The Blox (2024). She founded the Advantage Alliance Referral Networking Group and serves as a “baby” Blue Blazer helping host the 2025 Arizona Bowl.

Signature talks: Stop Guessing, Start Growing; Two Brands, One Buyer; Be Seen on Purpose.
She speaks for chambers, associations, and private companies across North America—delivering keynotes, workshops, panels, and fireside Q&A—and travels from Sahuarita, Arizona (greater Tucson area).

Raised on a working cattle-and-sheep ranch in southeast Montana and western South Dakota—35 miles from the nearest town of 60 and an 11-student Montana country school—she brings ranch grit to the boardroom. Offstage, she’d rather shovel sunshine than snow, golfs with her parents and son, and cooks—especially when someone else does the dishes. She is a former rodeo queen, barrel racer, and horse trainer.
