Our Origin Story

Why are we named “Sixth City” Marketing? Although our CEO John Sammon started the business when he lived in Columbus, he decided to name the business after his hometown of Cleveland, Ohio, as he was fascinated with the history of the city. If you didn’t know, in the early 1900s, Cleveland’s population was once so large that it was the sixth-largest city in the country. Clevelander’s are proud of this achievement and embraced “The Sixth City” as a nickname. And today, we are proud to have a name that represents the city’s legacy of hard work and building things that last, because that is what we ourselves strive to give to our clients.
