Streamline Interactive Communications

What Streamline Interactive Communications does

Streamline Interactive Communications (legal entity Streamline Internet, Inc.) is a privately held, full-service interactive marketing agency founded in 1998 by Seth Chernoff and headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, with a secondary office in San Diego, California. The company serves B2B and B2C clients across at least ten verticals — including education, hospitality, real estate, healthcare, technology, government, non-profit, retail, beverage, and media — delivering customer acquisition, lead generation, performance marketing, student recruitment and retention, website design and development, social media management, and market research services. Its core proprietary asset is the Lead Management Platform, comprising four integrated modules (LeadGenerator, LeadQualifier, LeadOptimizer, and LeadMonetizer) that together provide end-to-end lead sourcing, fraud detection, automated nurturing, and conversion analytics. The company reports having generated over 200,000 leads and 1 billion+ ad impressions for customers over 15+ years.

The firm operates with 1-10 employees using a sales-led, consultative go-to-market motion that emphasizes direct client access — including the CEO — and long-tenured engagements. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services fees for campaign management and strategy work, supplemented by transaction-fee lead generation (cost-per-lead and cost-per-call). Pricing is custom-quoted per client rather than publicly disclosed, and contracts are typically multi-year. Distribution is direct via phone, email, and the company website, with a free marketing review offered as the initial engagement point. No external institutional funding, M&A activity, or parent company relationships are evident, and the firm has remained a bootstrapped boutique operation for over two decades, serving "hundreds" of clients globally including organizations such as LeTourneau University, Landry's Restaurants, Time Warner Telecom, the US Department of Interior, and Patheos.
