With the mantra, “Not just your career; your life”, WORKS delivers relevant and edgy content that transcends the 9-5 grind.

WORKS offers a place for young professional women to converge, share their experiences and get their most pressing questions answered.
Wildly Sophisticated Media (now WORKS by Nicole Williams) was created by Nicole Williams in 2003, after she found herself empty-handed when looking for support and resources to help her build her own career. With two-bestselling books, a TV series and media success in her back pocket, she has made it her mission to redefine career as glamorous, fun, and entertaining.
In 2006, Nicole partnered with Loeb Enterprises, a preeminent investor and builder of media and consumer-focused companies, to support Wildly Sophisticated’s growth and capitalization needs. In 2007, Nicole reintroduced Wildly Sophisticated Media as WORKS by Nicole Williams after redefining the attitude and tools young professional women need to succeed.
NICOLE WILLIAMS
Forget everything you think you know about career…
Career expert and best selling author Nicole Williams has long believed, “it’s not your career…it’s your life!” Her honest, real-life approach to career development feels more like advice from a friend; albeit an extremely accomplished friend who never hesitates to call your bluff. Nicole actually walks the walk, meaning she truly loves her job – and she wants you to love yours, too.
After nearly a decade of success in the corporate world, Nicole looked for a way to take her career to the next level. Her search led her to the neighborhood bookstore where she spotted a gaping hole in the career book category. Immediately, she set out to write the kind of book that she herself would like to read, and the rest (as they say), is history. The book, titled, Wildly Sophisticated: A Bold New Attitude for Career Success, earned her a record-breaking six-figure advance from Penguin Group Inc. and became a national bestseller. While writing the book, Nicole launched Wildly Sophisticated Media, a company dedicated to redefining the world of career development – making it glamorous, fun and relevant to modern women.
In January 2005, a second book, Earn What You’re Worth: A Wildly Sophisticated Approach To Investing In Your Career and Yourself was released. That same year, Nicole co-created a reality television series based upon her real-world career strategies. The show, called, Making It Big is now in its second season on the Oxygen Network. Her website, worksnw.com, reads like your favorite magazine. Packed with fashion tips, revealing blogs, entrepreneurial profiles, and real-world take-aways, it’s quickly becoming the on-line destination for young professional women.
This spring, Wildly Sophisticated Media has been re-launched as WORKS by Nicole Williams; the ultimate, modern lifestyle brand. “Women see their lives through the lens of their careers,” says Nicole. “It’s where they wear the latest fashions, build friendships, date – it’s where they define themselves.” The growing company is uniquely positioned to inform, inspire and empower women to create more exciting and fulfilling careers. It delivers substantial career information packaged as hip, edgy entertainment.
Nicole’s uniquely accessible approach has made her a popular guest expert on television’s Good Morning America, CNN, Good Day New York and Fox News. She is also a press favorite, contributing to articles in Elle, Cosmopolitan, Glamour, The New York Post, The Washington Post and the Financial Times. Her reputation as an authority in her field has attracted corporate partners such as Ford Lincoln Mercury, Banana Republic, Saks and Electronic Arts.
