About us

Epiphany is a woman-owned business established in January 2000 by Julie A. Beem, MBA, and Christa A. Nelson, MBA, in Atlanta, Georgia. Initially, The Epiphany Group provided full-service marketing to professional service firms such as architects, engineers, surveyors, and general contractors. The company expanded to Iowa in 2002 when Christa moved back to Cedar Rapids. In 2008, the company pivoted following a major flood in Iowa and changes in Julie's personal life. Christa continued as a sole proprietor, collaborating with talented firms across the country and expanding services to include nonprofits, attorneys, financial planners, internet service providers, and retail companies. This expansion led to collaborations with various marketing professionals to meet growing client needs. Epiphany was re-founded in 2018, offering strategic and tactical marketing services to businesses and nonprofits. Services include strategic planning, fund/friend-raising, brand identity, storytelling, digital marketing, web design, social media, media relations, and influencer marketing. The agency operated out of Marion Co-Working and MERGE in Iowa City. In 2020, COVID-19 prompted a shift to full-time remote work, leading to the creation of the Spark Team Collaboration. This initiative allowed each subject matter expert to establish their own business while collaborating on client projects, streamlining payroll and expenditures 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. Christa began handing off services she had been providing to others, focusing on her core strengths and passions: strategic planning, serving as a fractional CMO, and team development, training, and building.

    Today, I had the incredible honor of being recognized for my work in education as a nominee for the Women of Achievement award alongside some truly inspiring women. Waypoint does such vital work in our community, and being included in this celebration was humbling. I was fortunate to share this special moment with my parents, Cam, and my friends Karen and Kristy. A heartfelt thank-you to my beautiful friend Beth for serving as the event’s MC—her wit, humor, and authenticity are qualities I greatly admire. Akwi, our keynote speaker, delivered a powerful message about the circle of protection women can provide one another during times of trial. Over the past few months, I’ve deeply felt the strength of my tribe, who have surrounded me with love and support while I’ve been healing and rebuilding both personally and professionally. I’m incredibly grateful for the support I receive not only from my personal circle but also from my amazing professional community. Your love, encouragement, and belief in me mean the world. A special thank you to Ed at Joe Photo Photo for capturing the memories of this meaningful day. On this Giving Tuesday, I encourage you to consider supporting Waypoint. Their work makes a profound difference in our community, and your contributions help ensure they can continue to impact lives.
