The Vision Behind Six Waves Digital
Six Waves Digital was founded with a clear purpose: to help businesses tell their story and build meaningful connections with their audiences through strategic digital marketing.
Keeley Newman-Goodall established the consultancy after years of experience in digital marketing, recognising that many small and medium-sized businesses struggle to translate complex marketing concepts into practical strategies that actually work.
Through Six Waves Digital, she focuses on delivering holistic marketing strategies that combine blog writing, email marketing, social media support, consultancy, and training. Her approach ensures businesses are not simply following trends but building sustainable marketing systems rooted in authentic communication and long-term growth.
At the heart of the company’s philosophy is the belief that marketing is ultimately about people — not algorithms.
What Makes Six Waves Digital Stand Out
Six Waves Digital distinguishes itself through a story-first approach to marketing.
Instead of offering isolated tactics, the consultancy looks at the complete identity of a business — its values, voice, audience, and goals — and develops integrated strategies that create a clear and consistent narrative across all digital channels.
Key service areas include:
Blog and content creation
Website and SEO consulting
Social media marketing
Email marketing campaigns
Affiliate marketing strategies
Pay-per-click advertising
By combining strategic expertise with practical training, Six Waves Digital helps business owners understand and confidently manage their marketing, giving them both immediate results and long-term capability.
This collaborative, empowering approach has made Keeley a trusted strategic partner for organisations ranging from small businesses and entrepreneurs to charities and community organisations.

Creating Meaningful Impact
Beyond marketing consultancy, Keeley Newman-Goodall is deeply committed to community impact and knowledge sharing.
She has actively supported charitable organisations and community groups by offering marketing guidance, workshops, and strategic support. Her work has helped nonprofits and local initiatives improve their outreach, connect with supporters, and communicate their mission more effectively.
This dedication reflects Keeley’s broader belief that marketing should not only drive business growth but also amplify meaningful causes and positive social impact.
Overcoming Challenges on the Entrepreneurial Journey
Building Six Waves Digital came with both professional and personal challenges.
Like many women founders in competitive industries, Keeley had to consistently demonstrate her expertise while navigating the challenges of establishing credibility in the marketing sector.
In addition, she built her business while living with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). Rather than limiting her leadership, this experience strengthened her empathy, emotional awareness, and understanding of what it means to feel unheard or overlooked.
This perspective fuels her mission to help businesses and founders find their voice, increase visibility, and confidently share their story with the world.
Through resilience and purpose-driven leadership, Keeley transformed personal challenges into a powerful foundation for compassionate and impactful entrepreneurship.
Advice for Women Entrepreneurs
Keeley encourages aspiring women entrepreneurs to trust their voice and take action even before they feel fully ready.
“Too often, women wait until everything is perfect before starting. But growth comes from action, not perfection. Your lived experiences and perspective are your greatest leadership strengths. Define your own version of success and surround yourself with communities that uplift and support you.”
Her advice highlights the importance of authenticity, resilience, and collaboration in building meaningful and sustainable businesses.
Looking Ahead
As Six Waves Digital continues to grow, Keeley Newman-Goodall aims to expand her impact by helping more businesses develop marketing strategies rooted in authenticity, clarity, and human connection.
By combining strategic insight with storytelling expertise, the company is positioned to continue guiding organisations toward stronger visibility, deeper audience engagement, and sustainable growth in an increasingly digital world.
