Some of the High-Impact Digital Tools we use with One Objective in mind:
Get and Retain Customers for Your Business
Web Funnels
High-producing websites which call to action, get leads, and convert them to paying customers.
They look great on both desktop AND mobile.
See work below.
Social Media
Syndicate your content across multiple social media sites to lure different audiences into your business.
Video
If a picture’s worth a 1,000 words, a video’s worth 1,000 pictures.
Tell your story in motion because many don’t have the patience to read text.
Use video for both prospect-getting AND lead-conversion.
Portfolio SEO
For local businesses: beat the competition by targeting your business in the search engines for every neighborhood and city around your location.
Faster and much more effective than traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization).
Ask to see live examples.
Ads
To bring visitors to your business immediately, we use ads on Google and Social Media.
Then use retargeting to bring them back in case they left empty-handed.
Optimizing your campaigns and finding new opportunities are key to lower your cost and improve return-on-investment (ROI).
And we know how to do that.

Case Studies: Effective Lead Generation Web Funnels
These web funnels tell a story. They present the value proposition right from the beginning, keep the visitor interested in what the business has to offer while providing social proof (testimonials), information about the company and its members, strong CTAs (call-to-action), and offer compelling lead-magnets in return for the visitor’s contact information.
They are especially effective on mobile phones, where users prefer to scroll up and down a page instead of clicking around between web pages.
Use the scroll bar on the right of each panel (or your thumb inside the panel on mobile) to see the full length of the web funnel.

Ever Wondering Why Getting Customers Got Harder?
Here is What’s Happening
Many companies who built thriving businesses are faced all of a sudden with unpredictable income, the defection of customers, letting their best workers go, and in some cases (Kodak, Blockbuster) – are even forced to close their doors. For good.
It can happen to businesses of any size: small, medium, or large.
And while each situation is different, there is a common thread to them all.
The Problem?
We have found the enemy and it has been living among us. And its name is:
Change!
But there are other types of change that can happen. To businesses. And unless properly managed, can wreak havoc and bring a business to its knees.
It is this Duality of Change that can make or break a business.
Change Comes in Many Forms
Customers
How well do you still know your prospective customers?
Technology
Are you following technological advances in your industry and taking advantage of them?
Media and Message
What also changes is what we can say (being politically-correct, etc.) and how often we need to communicate our message.
Are you capitalizing on new, effective media, and discard obsolete ones?
Is your message above the noise, part of the noise, or below it?
Rules
And it all happens now faster than ever.
Are you still following the old rules?

Random Acts of Marketing Won’t Cut It
“Let’s build a new website; do SEO (search engine optimization); start a Facebook ad campaign; produce a new shiny video; Oh wait – I heard that an email campaign is the way to go.” The list just goes on and on.
Some may work for a while. You may even believe you have conquered the new Digital Marketing frontier. But then change happens. And they stop being as effective as they used to.
No wonder so many business owners are frustrated.
If you were skeptical about Digital Marketing – we can certainly understand why!
Wanted: A Marketing Conductor You can Trust
The marketing conductor tracks what works and notices what stopped working, adjusts marketing strategies and tactics as needed, experiments with new methods, and is responsible for generating prospects, leads, and customers consistently.
Many business owners believe they can be the marketing conductor for their company. But in reality, their focus and attention are on their area of expertise. And so in actuality, what needs to be a daily marketing effort, becomes a sporadic one that usually takes place only when revenue goes down.
That creates the “Income Yo-Yo Effect”.
And that’s why the Marketing Conductor should not be you!

Who We Are
With a strong background in engineering AND business (our founder has an MBA from a top business school in the USA), the marriage of these two disciplines has created special solutions for our clients.
More so, through the use of technology, we were able to create marketing tools that give us an advantage over the competition. It this combination of engineering and marketing skills that make this happen.
Below is a list of a few of the more recognized names we worked with over the years.
The Solution: The 1-Page Marketing Plan
With a Business School background, creating a business plan was something we knew how to do. The problem was – and still is for many businesses: implementing the business plan almost never happens as intended. It’s just too hard.
And so a much better approach is to focus on just one section, yet the most important part: the Marketing Plan. Then ensure it is:
Simple to Create
Simple to Understand
Simple to Execute
And since we live in an ever-changing world, the plan needs to be dynamic and adaptive to changes in the market, technologies, media, and rules.
The 1-Page Marketing Plan is a concept created and popularized by Allan Dib. It is an easy-to-visualize 3×3 matrix, with each row dedicated to one of the 3 main phases of marketing:
Prospect and Lead Generation
Lead Nurturing and Conversion to Customers
Customer Retention
The 1-Page Marketing Plan
(By Alan Dib)
The 3 Machines
- Prospecting Machine
- Lead Machine
- Customer Machine
Each machine systematizes the part it handles. Just like the different parts of your vehicle – engine, wheels, electrical, etc. – are performing a certain function very well.
And when these machines work in harmony, they deliver the experience you expect.
The good news?
Many elements of the machine can be automated.
Yes, we know you have heard of drip campaigns, Social Media posts, SEO, etc. It’s just that no one has ever explained to you before how they’re supposed to work together.

How can you Harness the Power of the 1-Page Marketing Plan?
A simple, 3-Step Process
Step 1: Tell Us About Your Business
Learning about your marketing goals and how you plan to achieve them.
Step 2: We Create a Simple and Effective 1-Page Marketing Plan
It is easy to understand, and its simplicity compels you to actually follow it.
Step 3: Together, We Execute the Plan Daily
And since external changes are bound to happen, it is important to observe and making the necessary adjustments.
The means may change; the objectives should not.

Who Is It For?
- Your income feels and looks like “Yo-Yo”
- You are not sure where your next customer will come from
- You are fed up with marketing methods that stopped working (or actually never worked)
- You prefer to focus on the vision of the company, operations, and/or your area of expertise
- You see marketing as a necessary evil but know that getting customers is the most important process of your business to survive and thrive
- You are being bombarded with digital marketing offers but are skeptical since many business owners (maybe even you) got burnt before
Is that you?
Visions of Success
- A consistent flow of prospects?
- A regular conversion of prospects into leads?
- A predictable process that converts leads into customers, and then have these customers refer even more customers to you?
- Would that give your business stability and a platform for growth, rather than relying on random “hope marketing”?
- Not worrying about paying the bills?
- Allow you to deliver your customers the quality service or product you always wanted?
And maybe, just maybe, enable you to finally fulfill the true reasons that got you into business in the first place.
Others say it’s The Destination.
We think it’s both.
And it all starts by taking the First Step.
The Road Took a Turn
But the GPS Said Keep Going Straight
And while many sections of the road are straight, allowing the driver to sneak a peek and enjoy the scenery, there are segments in which the road takes abrupt turns on the cliffs leading to the Pacific ocean.
Not noticing these curves in time – or blindly following the GPS advice – can result not only in not reaching your destination but in ending the journey prematurely. With a flat tire. Or worse.
In a similar fashion, many businesses’ marketing efforts are just accidents waiting to happen.
While the business is on the road to a beautiful financial destination, unexpected changes take place. And no one tells them to take the right (or left) turns in time: change their marketing methods, change their message, evolve their product/service, or be aware of new rules and regulations.
If they keep doing what they are doing, it will likely lead to drop in revenue, need to let great workers go, customers defecting, low morale, and eventually not being able to pay the bills.

help You Transform Your Business for stability, growth, and peace of mind!

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. It is based on general principles and so can be used in virtually any industry.
Q: Are the Marketing Conductor and the 1-Page Marketing Plan linked together?
A: The 1-Page Marketing Plan is as its name suggests – a plan. The role of the Marketing Conductor is to coordinate the execution of the marketing plan for the business. In addition, the Marketing Conductor is in charge of noticing when change happens and make the right adjustments.
Q: If I have you create the 1-Page Marketing Plan for our business, does this mean that I need to hire you guys also as the Marketing Conductor?
A: Absolutely not. You are free to choose whoever you want as your Marketing Conductor. We just recommend you hire one, since having the business owner functions as a Marketing Conductor is not recommended.
Q: Is the 1-Page Marketing Plan only for Digital Marketing?
A: No. It uses whatever media reaches your target audience. For example, if they normally read a certain newspaper or magazine, that’s where you need to reach them. If they spent a lot of time on Facebook, your message will reach them there.
A: We provide services that cover planning (1-Page Marketing Plan), management (Marketing Conductor), and implementation (web design, Social Media, Video, etc.) We can assist your business at any of these levels. Normally you’d hire us to do the 1-Page Marketing Plan. And if you have already implementors you are comfortable with, we’ll be happy hand over the plan to them or work with them. It is really your call.
Q: Do you provide any guarantee?
A: Absolutely! When we create the 1-Page Marketing Plan we will share with you the first 1/3 (the Prospecting Machine). You will be able to see and feel the difference and appreciate the quality of the work. If you are not 100% convinced of the value we bring to your business, we will refund 100% of our fee, no questions asked.
Q: Am I locked into a long-term contract when I hire you?
A: Not at all. We believe in providing value every step of the way. If you feel you do not receive it (or that your objectives have already been met) you can decide to terminate the engagement at any time.
