Alex Nikdel

President

In a previous life, Alex worked as an industrial engineer for the world’s most famous Mouse. Today, he’s the President and big-picture thinker for another magic kingdom—Echo Delta. Since his arrival in 2009, Alex’s penchant for process efficiency and digital marketing chops has helped Echo Delta evolve from a print-predominant shop to a more digitally focused agency (and triple in size along the way). 

A consultant at heart, Alex has never been the “mind your own business” type. Lucky for all involved, he puts his knack for sussing out obstacles and opportunities to good use as the first point of contact for new clients. Alex graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor of Science in industrial and systems engineering. Since then, he’s received Board-Certified Brand Strategist designation from The Brand Establishment. In a perfect world, Alex’s life would look like a Jimmy Buffet song, the Gators would never lose, and nobody would use those tiny business cards.

I’ve been in the Magic Kingdom tunnels and once took a parking tram on a joyride.
