👋 Meet the Founder: David Roche

With over 23 years of experience in digital marketing, I’ve been working in SEO since before Google even existed.

Back in the days of Yahoo!, AltaVista, and Ask Jeeves, I was already experimenting with keyword placement, metadata, and backlinking—long before it became standard practice. I’ve seen the entire evolution of search: from clunky directories and spammy tactics to the AI-driven, user-first, algorithmically complex landscape we operate in today.

My name is David Roche, and I’m a British-born digital marketing strategist based in Warsaw, Poland. I run Pixelghetto Marketing, a full-service agency delivering high-quality, insight-led marketing solutions for clients across industries—including finance, real estate, travel, healthcare, gaming, and law.

What makes me different? I’ve lived and breathed the changes in SEO for more than two decades. I don’t just teach theory—I’ve done the work, adapted to every Google update, and consistently achieved outstanding results for my clients.

I have worked with David on a number of web projects and we collaborate with clients on a regular basis. David’s skills as a web designer/developer and a wizard at SEO have helped a number of my clients achieve top rankings on Google and other search engines. He has this uncanny knack of ranking all manner of industries at the top of Google. Highly recommended as a digital marketing strategist and consultant.

I spent years messing around trying to DIY my own website (ironic given that as a financial adviser I extoll the virtues of working with a professional). Eventually I decided to practice what I preach and hire a professional (David Roche @ Pixelghetto) and the result has been transformational. I suspect that I have been a challenging client as I have frequently moved the goal posts and, having tried to do things myself previously, probably know just enough to be dangerous. Despite that David has created a website that delivers. Not only does it look great but also, thanks to his SEO skills, it has generated more inbound enquiries in the last 7 months than it did in the previous 2 ½ years. I would definitely recommend David to anyone wanting to hire a professional to take over their digital marketing efforts.

Owner / Founder

I have worked with David Roche directly since 2005. He has completed 4 amazing projects for me in Countries such as the UAE, Mallorca, USA and Ireland. On every occasion a brief was discussed and he went above and beyond the remit we set. His dedication and professional approach enabled the projects to be completed not only on time and to a standard way above other companies but his personal contribution at every level made the tasks enjoyable and hugely rewarding. I would recommend David and his company to any Business looking to start up or expand their platforms. In 25 years I have never met an individual more dedicated to producing high end personal driven projects that are tailored exactly to the brief set.
