Served to the world.

Hello!

Shift ONE digital was founded in 2011 by me, Dylan Kohlstadt, because I wanted to create the perfect agency - the kind of agency I've always wanted to work with - an agency that delivers results every time, who is friendly, knowledgeable and highly effective giving me 2-10 x ROI.

In 2018 I was joined by Michael Wimpey, who has taken the business to new heights with his love of creative engineering and technical problem-solving.

You may not be able to afford to hire Michael or me full time, or our highly skilled team members, but you can afford to have us act as your outsource marketing team or your fractional CMO's and benefit from our 145 collective years of marketing, digital marketing, social media, design and technical expertise.

Since 2011 hundreds of brands have taken their businesses to the next level with Shift ONE, and now can you too.

We would love to do great work for you, let's meet!

Warm regards,

Dylan Kohlstadt

CEO

Go global with our world-class digital marketing.

Some people believe that a digital agency is a collective of people who have shallow knowledge on things like email marketing, website design, SEO, strategy and more...with us that is not true.

We are one of the few agencies that can be considered subject matter experts when it comes to strategy, brand, SEO, email marketing, and more...just hop on a call and you’ll see.

She's knowledgeable, passionate, creative and innovative. I can highly recommend Shift ONE for all your above and below-the-line marketing requirements."

Karin Chisholm,
CEO, Career Planet

"Dylan helps me with all my marketing requirements. Website, branding, brochures, sales, shows, promotions, the whole lot. 2012 is going to be a big year for us, and I wouldn't be able to do it without Shift ONE there to support me."

Greg Fuchsloch,
CEO, Metalforming Technology SA

"We've partnered with Shift ONE digital because they are one of the few agencies out there who offer an integrated service that includes SEO, usability, email marketing, social marketing and who know how to drive sales and ROI. Plus I enjoy working with Dylan because she is focused on an enjoyable customer experience and that's what we're all about. Shift ONE gets two thumbs up from us."

We act as your fractional CMO - sharing knowledge and strategic input.

If you don't have a huge budget each month for marketing, then don't hire an expensive CMO, rather outsource your marketing to us and we will act as your fractional CMO and deliver on all of your marketing for the same amount. We are a full-service digital marketing agency that only hires top people, who know marketing back-to-back. When you work with us, you get a percentage of that expert's time and knowledge, for a fraction of the cost of hiring them yourself.

It's a no brainer!
