Our clients trust us because we take the time to truly understand their brand from the inside out. Through a collaborative and consultative process, we uncover the core message that sets you apart—then craft and execute a strategy designed to attract the right clients and elevate your presence across every touchpoint.
Partner with a team that sees the big picture—and brings the polish, precision, and creativity to match.
Nicole Waliczek
Founder and Creative Director
With a refined eye for design and a strategic mindset, I’ve built a career helping businesses turn vision into visibility. For over twelve years, I’ve specialized in marketing strategy, brand reputation, elevated social media content, and custom website development—bringing clarity, creativity, and sophistication to every project.
I founded Guardian Marketing to offer high-level, results-driven solutions to business owners who value both aesthetics and performance. My clients trust me to act not just as a consultant, but as a true partner—one who brings focus, expertise, and a hands-on approach to every aspect of their digital presence. By intentionally remaining boutique, I’m able to offer a level of personal attention and strategic insight that’s often lost in larger agencies.
Whether it’s curating a premium brand image, streamlining digital communication, or building a website that converts, my work is centered around one goal: helping you stand out with confidence and style—so you can focus on what you do best.
When I’m not elevating brands, I’m with my husband and two sons, enjoying the best of life in Colorado. I’m an avid runner, skier, and gardener, and serve as a proud volunteer board member for our local youth baseball league.
Ray Waliczek
Director of Sales and Analytics
With a dynamic background in sales, data analysis, and strategic growth, I bring a results-driven mindset to every client partnership. My strength lies in turning insights into action—connecting performance metrics to real business outcomes and ensuring every decision supports long-term success.
From national brands to growing small businesses, I’ve built a reputation as a trusted advisor and relationship-first sales leader. My experience spans industries from hospitality and industrial supply to security and brand development—each one sharpening my ability to adapt, lead, and consistently deliver.
At Guardian Marketing, I lead with strategy and heart. I take pride in helping our clients translate their goals into measurable growth through smart sales strategies, clean data, and clear performance benchmarks. Whether I’m consulting on analytics, optimizing lead funnels, or refining internal systems, I approach every challenge with clarity, collaboration, and the belief that strong relationships are the foundation of sustainable success.
Outside of work, you’ll find me in the gym, in the garage, or on the sidelines cheering on our two sons. I’m a proud Chicago sports fan and an even prouder partner to Nicole—both in business and in life.
Let’s connect and explore how our team can help your business grow—with purpose and precision.
