Sixsmith Digital

About

I'm Nick Goetsch, and I started Sixsmith Digital to fix a gap I kept seeing.

For over a decade I've worked in digital marketing — running paid media as a VP at a performance agency, and leading digital inside a global company. The whole time, one thing nagged at me: the small businesses that need this expertise most are the ones priced out of it.

Why a studio, and why now.

At an agency, the economics are brutal for small accounts. The hands-on work — restructuring campaigns, fixing tracking, writing and testing ads, building reports — takes senior time, and senior time is expensive. So small budgets get a junior, a template, or a polite “no.”

AI and automation finally change that. I can build systems that do the repetitive heavy lifting, which frees my time for the strategy that actually moves numbers. The result is senior-level marketing at a price a small business can justify. That's the entire reason Sixsmith Digital exists.

You get the person who's done this for big budgets — working directly on yours.

What I stand for

How I work, in three principles.

Honesty over hype

I won't sell you tactics that get you penalized or chase vanity metrics. If something isn't worth your money, I'll tell you.

Access over exclusivity

Great marketing shouldn't be reserved for companies with deep pockets. The whole point of Sixsmith is to widen that door.

Build, don't just advise

I build the tools and the campaigns myself. My advice comes from doing the work, not reading about it.
