SixSpeed

From an office on West 35th Street in Minneapolis, SixSpeed operates as an independent creative marketing and media agency working with brands it describes as adventurous — companies such as Polaris, Yuengling Brewing, American Public Media Group, and Batteries Plus. The agency positions itself around clients willing to take strategic risks to differentiate within their category rather than follow established marketing conventions, and it frames its work as helping these brands build lifestyles and open new categories rather than simply compete within existing ones. The agency's declared services span search engine optimization, advertising, branding, digital strategy, and web design, with a media capability and a recently launched PR offering. Its stated approach begins with studying a client's brand to identify whitespace opportunities, then applies a creative angle intended to make the resulting positioning ownable and difficult for competitors to replicate. Campaign examples referenced on its site include work for Polaris (an operator training program and a "Tough Doesn't Quit" campaign), a beer-drought-themed campaign for Yuengling, a content initiative for American Public Media Group, and category-repositioning work for Batteries Plus. SixSpeed also references an internal principle of "doing the right thing" as part of how it engages with clients, coworkers, and community-facing projects, alongside its core creative and media production work.
