Kie Sutherland
Senior Digital Strategist
I’m Kie (pronounced like “pie” but with a “K!”), a Hoosier calling southern Indiana home for the last 18 years. I’ve graduated from here, married my high school sweetheart, and now have two wonderful daughters. Having spent over ten years as an insurance agent, COVID happened, which led me to look for something new and luckily find NO-BS Marketplace based out of Australia. What I lacked in SEO knowledge to start, I made up for with my decades of experience working with businesses, finding their pain points in insurance and coming up with creative solutions that were easy for them to understand.
SEO/Digital marketing, just like insurance, is loaded with weird terms and phrases that most don’t understand unless they’re fully drinking the Kool-Aid. With NO-BS, our name is quite literally our motto…having no-BS in everything we do, which was the same approach I took when speaking about insurance, and what made NO-BS a perfect fit for me! We pull the curtain back so you can see what the little green wizard (in this case, Google) is doing and empower you with helpful knowledge to hopefully start understanding this industry more than when you started.
I coach Cross-Country at Charlestown Middle School and co-founded Pirate Run Club, a local 501(c)(3) running club for ages 5 to 18. I’m a huge movie/show enthusiast (as you probably caught from above), so be prepared for me to ask what your favorite is too! I’m a boomer trapped in a millennial’s body with a child’s sense of humor, making my outlook on life be determined if I’ve had a snack and afternoon nap!

The NO-BS Marketplace Journey
Today, NO-BS Marketplace is one of the best digital marketing companies, providing quality web design, PPC, and SEO services. The agency was born out of a daring idea that has since become a source of professional help to many businesses worldwide. But how and where did it all begin?
2014: The Legendary Studio 56
In 2014, with Aaron and Tristan Gray at the helm, a new digital agency called “Studio 56” emerged. It focused on providing SEO and targeted web services to help Melbourne-based businesses maximize discovery by local consumers searching online.
While still just in the beginning phases, the founders encountered common digital marketing problems across their clients. The key root causes were tied back to chronic deficiencies in link building.
2016: Building An Outreach Team
After two years, the founders noticed a pattern of headaches in their new link-building business. Major pain-points included missing deadlines and the inability to review publisher links before going live.
The brothers decided to scale internally. They built and trained an in-house team that would help them manage all their link building campaigns. With this came the idea of selling link-building services directly to other agencies and affiliates.
Despite early positive results, it quickly became apparent that meeting demands would be an uphill task. Aaron and Tristan decided that the best solution to this problem would be to invest in better technology that can manage and scale the process.
2017: The Birth Of The NO-BS Platform
In 2017, after substantial technology developments, our newly made NO-BS platform went live to the public. The year following witnessed tremendous success with over $500,000 in sales followed by a +10% monthly growth rate. This unexpected rapid growth forced the company to do another urgent team scaling internally. Aaron and Tristan brought in more writers and outreach members to help meet the demands.
2019: Platform Rebuild
Customer usage increased rapidly in just two years, prompting another urgent solution. The company invested over $100,000 upgrading our platform, a project that took six months. The new website delivered better experience and flexibility for all users.
In the same year, we opened a new office in Geelong, Victoria, Australia to expand our in-office staff. NO-BS Marketplace also launched account management services to provide hands-on assistance to our clients.
2020: 100% Growth Amid The COVID Chaos
While almost everything came to a standstill in 2020 due to COVID-19, NO-BS Marketplace kept growing. The 100% revenue surge necessitated another internal scaling, with the founders opening another office in Melbourne and tripled the team. More expansion took place throughout the year in preparation for the launch of new products.
2021: Launch Of The Content and SEO Services
Having cemented its link-building prowess, the NO-BS team was ready for another challenge. It launched its SEO and content services to the public, offering more affordable and scalable options.
2024: Expanding To The US
In 2024, NO-BS Marketplace began another phase of its growth by opening new hubs in various US cities, including Cincinnati. This new step was geared towards improving customer service and ensuring that clients received quicker and more personalized support.
