Dan Nelken

Senior Copywriter

I lead talks and workshops on professional creative development.

This journey started with me writing and then self-publishing the book, A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters, one many call a "modern classic".

In the last few years, I've given talks to several of the world's best creative, schools, ad agencies and brands (lululemon, Mattel, North Face, Arla Foods, Nutrafol, Whirlpool and more).

In 2024 alone, I've been a keynote speaker at CopyCon, the American Writers and Artists Institute, the Frontier Summit, and several others.

My online course, Writing Under Pressure has been taken by over 800+ creatives from the world's top brands and agencies.

“When you need insight, intelligence and inspiration for your creative team—bring in Dan.” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“A notebook full of notes! Really down-to-earth, easy-to-follow presentation. Wouldn’t mind having him back again” ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

"Dan’s course is the difference between “the client wants more options” and “the client can’t pick a favourite. If you suffer from the cramps of crossed fingers or the pinch of prayer beads in your palm, this is how to reclaim your confidence." ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

“The only course I’ve taken and blown through front-to-back. Dan just gets it!!!” - Harry Dry, Marketing Examples.com ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

How I write posts that never fail.

I have brainwashed myself into believing my algorithm matters more than LinkedIn’s.

And my personal algorithm tells me every post is a winner.

I posted. That’s a win.

It helped someone. Win.

When people read my post and think to themselves, “Who TF does this Dan guy think he is?”, that’s also a win.

Or when I share a post and the response is crickets, that’s a win.

Because either of those last two reactions might make those people think, “Hell, if that Dan could do this, I could do this!”

And if anything I share (whether it’s good or bad) inspires someone to create for themselves and get over their (FOPO) fear of posting online, easy win.

Yes, I’ve had posts go viral, and I’ve made sales through posting on LinkedIn. But I’ve also made some pretty damn good friends. Like, real ones.

Oh, and there’s one other metric LinkedIn could never measure… if one day, my kids grow up and see how their old man put himself out there, maybe they’ll think to themselves, “If Dad could do that, I can do this.” 

And all of these things make it a no-brainer for me to continue creating here, there and everywhere.

I cannot lose.

So, embrace those likes or the absence of those likes and keep on truckin’.

Because understanding LinkedIn’s algorithm is important. But it sure as shit ain’t everything.

Researcher and Production Assistant

You, me, your partner, your kids, your parents. We are all these "patients" research articles are talking about. Patients might be a clinical case when data is collected, but most importantly - we are people. Humans. Understanding this fine line is one of the building blocks of empathy, and empathy is what enables us to communicate more effectively. 

In the past 24 years, I have worked on over 45 disease areas and developed unique platforms and materials that made my clients stand out and strengthen their reputation among HCPs and patients. I have created marketing and awareness materials for some of the biggest names in the pharma industry, such as Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Teva, Roche, Janssen, Sanofi, Novo Nordisk, Medison and more. 

I specialize in pharma storytelling, scriptwriting and creation of patient support programs and communications materials, faciliate healthcare comms workshops and advise companies on their healthcare communications strategies. I aim to bring health to life.
