Newark, NJ — 6/13/2025 — LeapEngine, a woman- and minority-owned digital marketing agency founded by performance marketer Aya Kikimova, is redefining how small businesses grow in the age of AI, automation, and economic uncertainty. With a relentless focus on results, LeapEngine is helping startups and brick-and-mortar businesses outcompete larger players using precision performance marketing.
After two years of quiet success, LeapEngine is stepping into the spotlight with a new vision: to give small business owners the kind of marketing firepower usually reserved for enterprise brands—without the bloated retainers or cookie-cutter campaigns.
“Our clients don’t need vanity metrics,” said Aya Kikimova, LeapEngine's Founder and CEO. “They need marketing that moves the needle. That’s what we do—drive revenue, not just awareness.”
LeapEngine’s core services include:
-
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) with local and national reach
-
Performance Ad Management across Google, Meta, and emerging platforms
-
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) tailored to eCommerce and service brands
-
Growth Consulting & Content Strategy designed to increase ROI, not just engagement
Unlike traditional agencies, LeapEngine offers flexible packages and fractional marketing leadership, ensuring that clients don’t overpay for services they don’t need. The agency also provides live training programs to help founders and in-house teams master the fundamentals of high-ROI content marketing.
LeapEngine’s growing team includes freelancers and marketing professionals across the U.S., all dedicated to democratizing digital growth for under-resourced business owners.
Recent Milestones:
-
Launched educational programming for women- and minority-owned businesses
-
Led multiple successful Meta and Google ad campaigns for financial and consumer brands
-
Mentored NJ-based tech startups through NJII’s venture accelerator
-
Supported nonprofit initiatives with pro bono marketing services
As part of its 2025 roadmap, LeapEngine is exploring partnerships, niche franchising opportunities, and the development of proprietary AI-driven marketing tools built for small businesses.
“Too many founders are burning out trying to market alone,” Kikimova added. “We exist to be their unfair advantage.”
