“When you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”~ Max Planck
An introduction from our founder and chief possibilities coagulator, Zen Benefiel.
We appreciate your visit! We understand the nuances of branding, digital marketing, social media and customer engagement. There is a veritable maze of details in the construction of a website and integration with social media that small business owners are challenged to understand. Planck makes it easy, applying our knowledge of WordPress and behind the scenes details of the look and feel you want. We can even craft video presentations using our studio green screen.
Small business owners are tasked not only with knowing their business and marketing effectively, they have to develop a presence online today. That includes engaging customers, proper placement with a Google Business Page, Facebook and LinkedIn Company Pages for content, Instagram and Pinterest for images as well as developing interactive features for their website. It’s a constantly changing challenge.
Planck’s offering combines understanding of small business from years of consulting, peer group activity, education in business administration and organizational development, not to mention our digital skills. We’re a small business, too, operating in a sea of selections that can be more confusing than helpful. We can help you sift through the options effectively, craft a branded presence and keep your costs reasonable.
Social Media Instruction
Do you have enough time? Too often business owners are too busy working ‘in’ the business to work ‘on’ it. Social media is here to stay. We created a series of micro-classes just for small businesses who need a help with learning how to use social media effectively.
Our history with project and strategic planning brings a different level of collaboration and focused work to your company. We help your team design and implement your social media marketing plan. Your team takes ownership of its success.
Your team works as one; able to transfer skills easily to new-hires and help grow your business more effectively. Sounds great, right? Talk to us.
The Digital Landscape
Zen said yes to the digital challenge, learning how to build his first computer in 1990, his first website in 2000 that grew to over 25,000 visits a month and his first top Google page ranking in 2004. He seized the opportunity to learn and grow with the Web, capitalizing on a Master of Arts in Organizational Management and MBA in Project Management.
Metanoia – a change of mind. We know how overwhelming it can be when you feel lost in the digital world. We’ll ease your mind. Our knowledge of webwork and skill in crafting and implementing a social media marketing plan will get you visible in a short time. We can do some pretty cool stuff. We’ve proven it.
Full Service Web Crafting
You want to make sure you hire the right company for the job, with proven skills and results to match. We get that.
We’ve built dozens of websites over the past two decades and helped businesses achieve first page ranking in search engines, too.
“We contacted Planck after finding them on Google. They had the top slot on the local business listings.” ~ B Barko, local business owner.
Max Planck — ‘An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.”
We build relationships on knowledge, performance and trust. Planck’s leadership couples best practices with personality that brings the fun back into the fundamentals. The question is are you working on or in the business?
We want you to be able to work ON the business – it won’t grow if you don’t. As a business owner, consolidation of services is appealing. It brings your expense down and your circle of trust is tighter. Good business practices are built on great relationships, right?
Our expertise, qualifications and results allow us to help your business through coaching, consulting and development on several fronts, including digital. We don’t take on multiple clients at once, so we give you the best care possible. We can even upgrade your Social Media profiles.
We have found that a 3-fold approach really works – personal, professional and developmental. Planck Social Media Agency is the digital part of the three, of course. We’ve got top rankings, organically, for our customers.
“I did not have a website or social media presence for my piano lessons. In a very short time Zen built a website and a Google+ business page for me, but I didn’t realize how effective it would be. Love for Music Piano Studio comes up #1 in the local search for ‘piano lessons’ and ‘piano instruction.’ My calendar filled up quickly and I have a waiting list of students now. Zen really knows what he’s doing and proves it.”
~ Luba Brodsky, Love for Music Piano Studio
“Got off the phone with Zen about my web site problems (it was hacked) and left with feeling confident Zen “owned” my problem – and he resolved the issues quickly. Subsequent follow ups to increase traffic through SEO, Google Adwords and other social media sites continue to build not only my confidence in Zen’s abilities, but optimism over the direction we are heading. I hope he can do the same for my golf game!”
~ Jay Berens – President, RS Solutions, Inc.
“Zen has been building my websites and running my digital marketing campaigns for several years now. His speed at completing tasks, well, I often tell him he works at light speed. They are done before I know it. He is able to explain things simply, too. His LinkedIn workshops get high marks and his social media marketing took 2 Small Biz Guys from 0 to over 150,000 listens. Hire him. You’ll be glad you did.”
Ray Silverstein, PRO – Peer Advisory Boards
