Meet Nikki

A professional portrait of Nikki Perry
Nikki Perry, owner of GovSpark

I’m Nikki Perry, a storyteller at heart and a local government communications strategist by trade. After seven years as a newspaper journalist, I spent more than a decade inside city and county governments — as PIO for Hall County and PR director for the cities of Lilburn and Gainesville — learning exactly what it takes to connect communities with the people who serve them. In 2019, I launched my consulting practice to bring those hard-won lessons to more cities across Georgia and beyond.

I’m a proud UGA Grady College of Journalism graduate, FEMA-trained in crisis communications, and a firm believer that an informed community is the foundation of a functioning democracy. That belief is what drives everything I do.
