Our History
The Birth of a New Kind of Agency
Elite SEM, a performance-driven digital marketing firm founded on search engine marketing and based in New York City, is founded. The mission was to create an agency that would disrupt the standard agency model of ‘churn and burn’ and exemplify a true ‘people-first’ culture. Why? Because when our people are happy, our clients are happy, which means we all grow together.
