Who We Are
B2B marketing strategy and execution. Built for pipeline.
Digital C4 is a full-service B2B digital marketing agency founded in 2010. We specialize in SEO, Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), paid media, content strategy, and marketing automation for SaaS, technology, and education companies. Our clients are marketing directors, VPs, demand gen managers, and CMOs who need senior-level strategy and hands-on execution without adding headcount.
Since 2010, we have helped B2B marketing teams generate more leads, improve conversion rates, and build pipeline across every major digital channel. Every engagement is built around your specific business goals, not generic best practices.
We work as an extension of your team. That means senior-level thinking on strategy, hands-on execution across channels, and accountability tied to business outcomes, not just marketing metrics.
Every engagement is led by senior team members, not handed off to junior staff. Our founders stay involved at the strategy level so you always have experienced eyes on your account.

“Digital C4 delivers more than marketing. We deliver momentum.“
We are not a vendor. We are a partner. That distinction shows up in how we communicate, how we think, and how we hold ourselves accountable to your results.
Both founders are actively involved in client work. That level of attention does not disappear after the kickoff call.

Co-Founder
Jason Q. Nuss
Jason Nuss is a co-founder and partner at Digital C4, bringing 23+ years of experience in B2B digital marketing and business leadership. Before founding DC4, he served as COO at a data center and managed services company in Oregon, giving him a firsthand understanding of what it takes to grow a technology business from the inside.
At Digital C4, Jason focuses on paid media strategy, client onboarding, and building the systems, processes, and team that allow DC4 to scale. His focus has increasingly shifted to working on the business, developing the brand, and ensuring clients are set up for long-term success from day one.
What drives Jason is not marketing for its own sake. It is seeing marketing leaders succeed. When an internal marketer looks good to their leadership team and the company grows pipeline at the same time, that is the outcome he is building toward.
Outside of work, he enjoys fly fishing, writing, and mentoring. He and his wife enjoy traveling to spend time with their grown children, who are spread across Austin and Phoenix.
