Formic brought on 52 new clients in 2010, consisting of both Northwest-based businesses and companies located nationwide. Formic’s growth in 2010 can be attributed to building a skilled account team utilizing a unique array of tools and processes and providing a high-level of customer service. Additionally, Formic developed a handful of strategic partnerships to expand its reach nationally.
“As an entrepreneur, my desire has always been to help small businesses,” stated Kent Lewis, President and Founder of Formic Media, Inc. “When I realized the market was not being adequately serviced by existing providers, I decided to put together a talented team and grow one of the nation’s best SEM agencies focused on small and emerging companies.”

“Formic’s team is cross-trained on all aspects of search engine and social media marketing, as well as having a baseline understanding of how small businesses operate,” says John McPhee, Account Director at Formic Media, Inc. “But what truly differentiates us, is our desire to move the needle for our clients’ business, however that looks. We may connect our clients with each other to form strategic partnerships or help secure speaking opportunities or press coverage as a value-add."
Formic also puts a focus on education, which includes regular updates to its blog, Small Business SEM Agency News, as well as guest blogging for iMedia Connection.
