CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to make an impact with video.

ABOUT ME

My name is Nikoles Koyama - I’m a 23 year old CEO, introvert and supporter of others. I run an 11 person video Marketing Agency In Santa Barbara called The Visual Era. We basically make videos that make sense. (I swear I’ve never used that line before, but I’m going to now). Anyways, I have a girlfriend named Gabi that I love, she’s great at singing and has cute laughs. I love dogs, especially when they cuddle, and I’m basically just here to experience and contribute to any situations I find myself in. Thanks for considering me. :)

PS; if you’re reading this and I hit you up last minute, my apologies. I have a problem. I book ALL my trips last minute and it drives my team, in laws and girlfriend insane!!! :)

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy is based in creativity and honor. We as humans are master creators. Every moment, every thought, every shift is a new creation. You don’t have to paint a picture to be creative... you already ARE creative.

Honor. Honoring your vision and your purpose is key to me as well. I travel life on a mission of service and experience. I try to do everything I can to honor that purpose

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went around the country in my Honda Civic
and my friend. The whole reason we did it is because I got robbed. Long, inspiring and crazy story. You can check it out if you search “Get This Kid Out Of Here Documentary”

Teach, Learn, Share

Id love to teach anything with video and branding. I really think that if you have a message to spread or know somebody who does, then it’s your duty to learn basic video strategy :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

An endless amount of gratitude and intrigue
