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.”

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.
