About Soma

Chicago-Based Digital Marketing for Small Businesses

Soma Marketing is a strategy-driven marketing partner for small business owners, founded in Chicago and built from the lived experience of running a small business — not just advising them. Born out of Einnim Creative Studio, Soma was created by founder Elita after years of working in mid-size and enterprise environments and seeing a clear gap: small business owners needed guidance, structure, and advocacy — not generic, high-cost agency retainers.

Soma exists to support the kinds of businesses that are often overlooked — owner-led, community-driven, creative, service-based, and independent. We understand the realities of cash flow, capacity, and wearing every hat, because we’ve been in those shoes ourselves.

Today, Soma Marketing partners with small businesses across Chicago and nationwide, offering strategic advisory support, marketing guidance, and long-term growth partnership models designed around sustainability, clarity, and intention — not hustle or overwhelm.

A Marketing Partner Built for Small Business Owners

Instead of one-size-fits-all campaigns, we focus on:

clarity in direction and decision-making
systems and structure that support real-world operations
purposeful growth at a sustainable pace
marketing that aligns with capacity, values, and goals

Our work blends strategy, mentorship, and implementation guidance — helping owners build confidence in their voice, positioning, and marketing foundation.

We also offer flexible billing options that respect the realities of small-business cash flow, with transparent pricing and scalable support.

Our Commitment

We built Soma to ensure small business owners never feel priced out of strategy, clarity, or support — and to create marketing experiences that feel honest, human, and authentic to who you are. We show up as partners, not vendors, and we approach every project with intention, transparency, and respect for the realities of running a small business. Because when small businesses thrive, communities do too.
