We approached Sixth Story in 2016 with a new direction that we wanted to take our Web Site. We met in the first instance with Sian and Luke who were incredibly excited about the project and very responsive to our vision. I can honestly say from it's initial conception to it's completion, we found Sixth Story to be a joy to work with. Sian and her team were professional, enthusiastic and very knowledgable in the goals that we had. I cannot thank them enough for the initial job they did for us, and the support they showed us after the job was completed. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending them, to any prospective business looking for a new direction with regards to their web-site.I wish Sian and her team every success for the future.

As the owner of my own business and joint owner of another I know the importance of branding and marketing, it is something that needs to be done correctly to get results. To that end I have always and will always use Sixth Story, they are professional and approach all branding and marketing tasks I have thrown their way with enthusiasm and complete commitment. They have built first class websites for both businesses that get found and what impressed me with Sixth Story and made them stand out from the crowd was their honesty, they were not afraid to point me in the right direction even if I as the business owner thought I knew better, they always did it discreetly though and I am so glad they did as it always turned out that they knew exactly what they were talking about when it comes to marketing, I quickly learnt to leave them to it & trust them & realised that I should stick to my day job, I trust Sixth Story completely and would highly recommend them to any business that takes their marketing seriously, a professional company that has always delivered on their promises.

I actively searched for a Brand Design and Digital Agency to take on the marketing project of my Search and Select Firm. Upon contact with Sixth Story, I was immediately met with the upmost of professionalism, and an extremely productive brand discovery meeting whereby my company vision was understood, clearly. Sixth Story implemented my marketing project perfectly, underpinned by well-communicated timelines and a comprehensive understanding of my target market. Going forward they’re my chosen and trusted partner in Marketing and Visual Communications. Thank you team! More...

Creative, nimble, good value and friendly. We have built two websites from scratch with Sixth Story and both look excellent and have great functionality. We also worked closely with them to create eye-catching and exciting imagery to recruit runners for the Great Birmingham Run which proved very effective. I can highly recommend this company for all your digital design needs.Bobby BridgemanHead of CommunicationsCure Leukaemia More...
