Our Journey

From People-Heavy Agency to the Managed Claude Partner for Small Business

2018

Founded Reel Axis

Chris Lee founds Reel Axis as a B2B demand generation agency, bringing Wall Street discipline (Merrill Lynch, Deutsche Bank) to marketing operations.

2019–2021

Rapid Growth

Technology niche specialization — SaaS, IT, Cloud, Cybersecurity. HubSpot partnership established. OpGen Media and SPG acquired. People-heavy delivery model begins to show margin limits.

2022

Inc 5000 #4273

Ranked among America's fastest-growing private companies. Revenue growing, but headcount-dependent delivery kept margins thin.

2025

ReachMail Acquisition, Narrow AI Partnership & AI Transformation

Third acquisition — email technology platform. Strategic partnership with Narrow AI (getnarrow.ai) and its founder Paul Fung brings the technical foundation for agentic operations. Reel Axis begins replacing manual processes with autonomous AI agents across delivery, operations, and client work. Headcount dependency drops while output quality rises.

2026

Operational Leverage Realized

3x EBITDA achieved through AI-powered operations. AIO practice launched as one of several service lines born from the transformation. Rebuilt reelaxis.com as the proof point.
