Seacoast Stories
From podcast website to connected digital business ecosystem.
Smithline’s role: website strategy, development, and launch (delivered July 2026), with partnership and commercial work ongoing alongside founder Troy Farkas.
“Smithline came into our lives, and it completely changed the game.”
The starting point
An established local media brand with an engaged audience, strong community relationships, and opportunities to develop additional commercial revenue.
The opportunity
Build a more connected commercial ecosystem across content, audience, events, sponsorships, and digital infrastructure.
The approach

- Website and digital infrastructure
- Audience engagement systems
- Partnership development

Server-recorded requests
Partnership inquiries are founder-reported across channels, not website-attributed. Recorded pageviews and partner clicks are not unique visitors or confirmed sales.
Sources and methodology
Server report: 31,459 recorded page requests, July 16 to November 8, 2026, and 1,009 outbound partner-link redirects, September 13 to November 8, 2026. These can include bots, repeat requests, and internal activity.
The 30 partnership inquiries were reported by founder Troy Farkas on October 9, 2026, across social DMs and email. They are not attributed to the website.
Based on supplied November reports. The underlying reports have not been independently audited here. Measures cover different periods, can overlap, and must not be summed. No attributable revenue or completed-conversion claim is made.
