Numinous

What Numinous does

Numinous (Numinous Creative LLC) is a Portland, Oregon-based creative marketing agency founded in 2021 by Prassède Kemp. The company operates as a full-service "marketing department for hire" targeting established service-based business owners and CEOs who have outgrown DIY marketing, with a secondary audience of founders who prefer to do marketing themselves with lighter support. The core offering, The Agency, delivers monthly strategy, social media management, email marketing, blog content, and performance analytics at $2,100-$3,500 per month with a 3-month minimum commitment. Surrounding this core retainer are the Brand Bootcamp (3-month intensive at $5,000), The Ascend Collective (beta recurring membership launched April 2026), The Shop (self-serve digital products at $7-$27 via SamCart), and an AI Strategy Consultation ($499). The company has no proprietary software platform; its capabilities rest on marketing strategy, content production, brand development, and execution expertise delivered by a small in-house team (Founder/CEO, Senior Designer, Content Strategist, Content Creator, Video Editor) augmented by contractors.

The business is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no external investors, headquartered in the United States as an LLC, and serves 200+ cumulative clients across verticals including wellness, real estate, custom cabinetry, and professional services. Customer composition is predominantly SMB with occasional enterprise engagements (e.g., Sotheby's International Realty agent Julianne Bond). Revenue is generated through four streams: recurring agency retainers (primary), one-time Brand Bootcamp engagements, recurring Ascend Collective memberships (post-beta), and self-serve digital product sales. Pricing ranges from $7 impulse-buy digital products up to $3,500/month agency retainers, with the highest-margin revenue concentrated in the subscription agency layer. Distribution is entirely organic — no paid advertising — relying on Instagram content marketing, blog SEO, founder podcast guesting, an email newsletter, and a private CEO community inside The Ascend Collective.

Numinous uses AI tools within content workflows via its proprietary C.G.F.V. prompt framework, but it is not an AI-native or AI-differentiated business; AI functions as a productivity multiplier rather than a defensible technical layer. The company reports scaling entirely through organic content with founder-stated "multiple six figure" revenue, a 1-10 person team, and three documented case studies showing double-digit-percentage engagement, reach, and email deliverability improvements for clients.
