Epiphany

Epiphany is a woman-owned business founded in January 2000 by Julie A. Beem, MBA, and Christa A. Nelson, MBA, in Atlanta, Georgia. Originally providing full-service marketing to professional service firms, the company expanded to Iowa in 2002. Following a pivot in 2008 due to a major flood in Iowa and personal changes, the company continued as a sole proprietorship, offering expanded services to include nonprofits, attorneys, financial planners, internet service providers, and retail companies.

In 2018, Epiphany was re-founded, offering strategic and tactical marketing services to businesses and nonprofits, operating out of Marion Co-Working and MERGE in Iowa City. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 prompted a shift to full-time remote work, leading to the creation of the Spark Team Collaboration, streamlining operations and keeping costs down for clients.

In 2024, Epiphany transitioned from being a central billing hub for all marketing services to becoming a team builder and collaboration leader, with a focus on strategic planning, serving as a fractional CMO, and team development, training, and building. The company operates in the advertising and marketing industries.
