300FeetOut

What 300FeetOut does

300FeetOut is a full-service digital marketing agency founded in 1997 and headquartered at 1035 Folsom Street in San Francisco, CA. The firm serves mid-market and enterprise clients across hospitality, real estate, life sciences, technology, education, and the arts, offering an integrated portfolio organized into three categories: Craft (brand strategy, technology audits, information architecture, content and channel strategy), Create (content production, campaign ideation, brand identity, motion graphics, custom website design), and Connect (digital advertising, SEM, website development, re-platforming, and security/performance optimization). Technical delivery is built on NextJS, React, WordPress, PHP, Tailwind CSS, and Figma, with proprietary differentiators including a hybrid headless architecture for performance optimization and a zero-downtime incremental WordPress migration methodology using Pantheon's Advanced Global CDN. The agency reports named engagements with ThoughtSpot ($4.2B valuation AI/BI firm), Highgate ($15B hospitality operator, 500+ properties), Personalis ($284M market cap biotech), Promus Ventures ($1.3B AUM), Parker Palm Springs, ECS Senior Living, Parasoft, and SF State University.

The agency is independently owned by Barbara Stephenson, who acquired the firm in 2015 and converted it from a fixed-bid project model to a retainer-based agency of record structure, complemented by project-based engagements. Pricing is custom-quoted with no public rate card; contracts span multi-year retainers and pay-as-you-go à la carte work. The team is approximately 12-16 people distributed across 13 US cities, going to market through direct enterprise sales, referrals, and inbound. The firm carries no external funding, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue, and holds preferred website provider status with Leading Hotels of the World. The business model is purely professional services with no platform, product, or software offering.
