# Seafoam > Seafoam is a St. Louis firm that runs the marketing department for established mid-market companies, typically $15M to $50M in revenue, that have plateaued or cannot connect marketing spend to revenue. One senior team provides the three functions most companies buy separately: CMO-level strategy, RevOps measurement, and execution, under one retainer and held to a revenue number. Every engagement starts with a three-month Diagnosis & Strategy phase (the Revenue Diagnostic): customer interviews, a full funnel audit, and a prioritized roadmap with a dollar figure on what is leaking and where. From there Seafoam builds the measurement layer and runs the system, with monthly financial reviews, quarterly recalibration, and an annual strategic reset. Seafoam has been in business for 16 years, is led by Nikki Bisel, Founder & CEO, and has been recognized by St. Louis Small Business Monthly every year from 2017 through 2026. > What makes Seafoam different: diagnosis before prescription, reporting in dollars rather than dashboards, and no handoffs between strategy, measurement, and execution. Six senior practitioners, no account managers. Seafoam works with owner-led companies nationally from St. Louis, across manufacturing, professional services, home services, financial, legal, retail and e-commerce, and nonprofit sectors. The sections below cover Seafoam's capabilities, client results with real numbers, the industries it serves, the problems it is hired to solve and the goals it works toward, and its published thinking. ## Capabilities - [Web Design](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/web-design/): Your website is revenue infrastructure. Seafoam designs sites built to produce pipeline, then measures whether they do. - [SEO & AI Search](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/seo-ai-search/): Search now happens in Google and in AI answers. Seafoam builds visibility in both, from traditional SEO to generative engine optimization. - [Sales Enablement](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/sales-enablement/): Demand converts only if the handoff to sales works. Seafoam builds the enablement layer between marketing and closed revenue. - [Paid Media & Advertising](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/paid-media-advertising/): Seafoam manages paid media against the number that matters: revenue produced, not clicks or platform-reported conversions. - [NPS Surveys](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/nps-surveys/): A score is not a program. Seafoam runs NPS and customer feedback programs that surface at-risk revenue while there is still time to act. - [Marketing & Revenue Strategy](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/marketing-revenue-strategy/): Marketing strategy that answers to revenue: set in dollars, reviewed monthly in financial terms, and owned by the same senior team that executes it. - [Marketing Automation](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/marketing-automation/): Automation fails in the setup, not the software. Seafoam implements automation connected to your CRM and measured against revenue. - [Funnel Performance](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/funnel-performance/): Every funnel loses revenue somewhere. Seafoam locates the losses, prices them, and fixes the stages that cost the most. - [Email Marketing](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/email-marketing/): Email remains the highest-ROI channel when it is built on real customer data. Seafoam designs programs measured in revenue, not open rates. - [Demand Generation](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/demand-generation/): Demand generation that produces traceable pipeline, from first touch to closed deal. A working program, not a publishing calendar. - [Customer Experience](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/customer-experience/): Customer experience is every touchpoint from first impression to renewal. Seafoam maps it, measures it, and manages it for retention. - [CRM Implementation](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/crm-implementation/): A CRM only works if your team uses it and your reports can trust it. Seafoam implements for both conditions, then maintains them. - [Analytics & RevOps](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/analytics-revops/): The measurement layer most companies never build: attribution, reporting, and a clean data pipeline from first touch to closed revenue. - [AI Integration](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/ai-integration/): AI applied where it measurably saves time or makes money. Seafoam integrates it into your marketing operation and passes on the rest. - [Brand Strategy](https://seafoammedia.com/capabilities/brand-strategy/): Brand strategy grounded in customer evidence: positioning your sales team can use and your market can remember. ## Client Results - [Ten years of compounding, without more traffic](https://seafoammedia.com/case-studies/industrial-manufacturing/): Ten years of growth without additional traffic.
