Enliven Collective Marketing

What Enliven Collective Marketing does

Enliven Collective Marketing is a privately held digital marketing agency founded in 2023 and headquartered in South Bend, Indiana, with active operations expanding into the Chicago market and selected Michigan communities. The firm is founder-led by Jacob Fleming (Founder & CEO) and operates with a lean core team of approximately four to five members. It serves growth-focused small and medium-sized businesses across Indiana, Chicago, and Michigan, spanning industries such as home services, healthcare, real estate, fitness, financial services, consumer-facing SMBs, and select enterprise engagements. The customer base is fragmented across SMB verticals rather than concentrated in any single anchor account.

The company delivers an integrated suite of services built around a SaaS CRM platform launched in 2024. Core offerings include website design and development (offered in three packaging tiers: Essentials up to 5 pages, Business up to 10 pages, and Business+ up to 25 pages), SEO and local SEO, paid advertising management (Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram, TikTok, YouTube), social media management, video production, AI-powered marketing automation, and industry-specific CRM modules tailored for Healthcare (HIPAA-compliant PRM), Home Services, Real Estate, and Fitness verticals. The CRM platform incorporates AI-driven process automation, generative content, predictive lead intelligence, and personalized recommendations, and integrates with Zapier, Google Calendar, Google Analytics, WooCommerce, and MLS IDX feeds. Technology is delivered via third-party tools and platforms rather than proprietary infrastructure, with no standalone developer API or SDK documented.

The business model combines one-time project revenue (website builds), recurring monthly retainers (SEO, social media, CRM, reputation management, Google Business Profile), and professional services fees for paid ad management. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led: prospective clients initiate contact via the website consultation form or direct outreach, followed by a discovery consultation and a custom growth plan. There is no disclosed institutional funding, parent company, or M&A activity, reflecting a bootstrapped operating model. The agency is privately held with ownership concentrated in the founding team.
