Our Story

13th March 2021

Sixth Sense Marketing agency Hampshire
Where our journey started

This photo was taken in 2019 celebrating the amazing milestone of five years in business with our family. In 2014, Nick and Tracey sat in the same square in Malaga for lunch. Over many tapas dishes, and quite a few glasses of wine, we discussed our corporate careers and how, with senior marketing roles, we had lost touch with the day to day thrill of marketing. This is our story.

We had lost our sense of purpose, our work life balance was out of kilter and we needed a reboot. In that moment the idea of starting our own business was born. We founded Sixth Sense Marketing to share our corporate marketing expertise with SMEs who could make decisions quickly, see the results of their marketing and help us rekindle the joy of making a difference.

There have been ups and downs along the way, as every business owner will tell you, and the last 12 months have been a real challenge. But we have learned so much and developed in ways we could never have imagined all those years ago sitting having lunch in the sun.

As we celebrate 7 years in business we would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those who have supported us, championed us and inspired us along the way. We have met amazing business owners, many who are not just clients but also friends, and met many others who do great things, are driven by purpose and make a difference to those they meet.

To everyone who has helped us on our journey (you know who you are) and all the business owners out there, we salute you and thank you.

Nick recently designed a website for my private counselling practice. I have very little IT knowledge and this was the first time I had been involved with a project of this nature. During the initial stages I felt nervous and out of my depth but Nick provided me with a great deal of reassurance by explaining the process in simple terms which immediately allayed my fears.

Nick has previous experience in designing websites for counsellors and was able to provide me with many helpful tips and insights into how to best promote my business. He was extremely efficient and responsive and kept the project on track so that the website could go live within the time frame that we had originally discussed.

I would recommend Sixth Sense Marketing without reservation. Thank you for all your help and support Nick. I am extremely grateful to you.

I would like to express my gratitude to Nick Shrimpton of Sixth Sense Marketing for the excellent collaboration in creating films about Sun Lawyers on the Costa Blanca in Spain.

The collaboration resulted in both your participation in the UPNOW Costa Blanca info-documentary of 2023 and the production of 8 individual promotional films that are now live on YouTube.

The teamwork with Nick was flawless right from the initial ideas to the final stages of editing. Nick's extensive experience and his expertise in assisting clients to achieve the best results are outstanding.

I am delighted that you are pleased with the results of my work, and I look forward to the possibility of working together again in the future.

I also had the opportunity to work with Tracy Shrimpton and can highly recommend working with both Nick and Tracy of Sixth Sense Marketing.

All the best,
Theo Newton

Thank you Tracey for all your help with our customer marketing - managing our website and Google My Business, improving our social media presence, promoting offers and events and introducing email marketing as well as being a sounding board for marketing advice. Excellent service. Helped us increase our on-line presence and we definitely noticed a difference in customer numbers.

I engaged the services of sixth sense marketing during 2022 to help me craft a practical marketing strategy. Tracey's expertise and facilitative style was both challenging and supportive in equal measure. Each session was enjoyable and productive. Thanks Tracey.

We engaged the services of Nick and his team at the beginning of 2022 and couldn't be more delighted with their knowledge and forward thinking with regards to driving our business forward - making us more social media savvy and generally guiding us in the right direction with our in house marketing. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending them and look forward to our continued business relationship with them going forward.

I have been working with Hampshire marketing agency Sixth Sense Marketing in Fleet since the beginning of 2021. I am impressed by their digital marketing and social media marketing skills and expertise. We are collaborating on a number of marketing projects. They take the time to explain carefully the work that is needed to be done. I feel a part of the marketing team and it is great to know I am making a contribution to their clients’ successes.

My experience of working with and engaging the services provided by Nick Shrimpton @ Sixth Sense Marketing was bang on the money, a very effective initial connection achieved between us, in sync from the outset about my objectives and goals and it came as no suprise, a successful service delivery was the outcome, thank you Alan Dennett, Owner/Director #SpanishHomesintheSun

i started working closely with Nick @ Sixth Sense Marketing from beginning of January 2021. Since then my interactions online via LinkedIn and other media platforms has increased ten-fold. All content posted by Nick is relevant to current events and helps expose my businesses to new clients and connections. He has also written 2 blogs so far. Process is simple, I tell him what I want to include in my blog and then he goes away and researches the information, writes the blog and seeks my approval before posting. I cannot recommend Sixth Sense Marketing services highly enough and my only regret is that I didn't use them earlier.

I used Nick and Tracey from Sixth Sense Marketing to update and train my team on how to use and to get the best out of social media. Nick and Tracey were responsive, professional and hit the brief completely. We are now a team filled with confidence and enthusiasm, and buzzing with ideas to get started.

Nick and Tracey have done a lot in the community and the quality of their work is great.
Nick and I have also been working together both from a marketing perspective and also to help local business owners. I have always been impressed with the value Nick adds and the quality of the work.

Nick has been a valuable source of marketing advice and support. He has given me a clear strategy for growing the following on my Gut Health Facebook Page and has also improved the quality of the delivery of my marketing messages, campaigns and webinars. Nick is a fantastic sounding board, easy to work with and I’d recommend him without hesitation. Working for yourself can be difficult at times and having someone like Nick to bounce ideas off was worth every penny.

“Nick has been a significant help to me in developing Target Tutoring and growing the profile of the business. The website that he and Sixth Sense Marketing built continues to draw favourable comments from those who visit it and I know it is a high ranking site for private tutoring searches locally. I highly recommend Nick and Sixth Sense Marketing.”

Our client Bespoke IT Solutions asked us to design and develop a new website for them and we worked very closely with Nick as he had been engaged as their Marketing Consultant. Nick gave us a thorough brief and was very hands-on throughout the process. He provided us with clear direction, timely attributes and with his creative input we have managed to produce a site that our client is delighted with. Having had the opportunity to work with Nick, we will ensure to keep in touch and pass on recommendations in the hope we will be able to complete further projects together in the future.

Sixth Sense Marketing have really helped me and my business in an area that I knew little about. They are so easy to do business with! Clear strategic marketing plans are in place and the manner of working has established strong trust levels, that for me, are critical when making decisions outside of my own areas of expertise.

Once again Nick at Sixth Sense Marketing has
come to the rescue.
Not only does he come up with great ideas and strategies to help me to take my company forward.
He's always ready to help me with any problems I might have with my website.
Would highly recommend.

Sixth Sense Marketing is a thorough and effective marketing support tool, which every business should consider. The variety of services offered, provides a full 'virtual marketing team' to support my (and your!) business.

Nick and Tracey provide really useful guidance and support. The marketing knowledge and experience, each of them provides massive confidence to the quality of service to expect... and they do not disappoint.

I have used several aspects of the marketing expertise, including blog writing and proof reading, with some really useful advice and support on my website planning and marketing plan. Highly recommended.

Tracey provided the clarity that I needed in building my brand, setting out a plan and giving good, relevant suggestions on what to do. She is a delight to work with, asks good questions and is pleasantly persistent! Just what you need! I thoroughly recommend her!

Nick is a capable marketer and likeable person. He is quick to grasp key issues and is an asset in creating content on behalf of our mortgage business. For any business looking to raise their professional profile, I would highly recommend Nick and Sixth Sense Marketing.
