Zeal Me.com

You keep referring to a firm ... Where is this firm? Zeal ME is a 21st Century marketing firm that uses a network of talented professional around the country. We have no downtown office or eclectic lobby. The cost of all of that is simply passed along to clients. This firm seeks out and works with like-minded businesses who want top-notch consulting, but don't care to pay for granite counter-tops at the conference room bar. Bob started this firm as an extension of his consulting business. The close-knit, one-to-one relationship with clients is the foundation of the firm.

What is the advantage of using a 21st Century modeled firm? Beyond their office space, one of the reasons advertising agencies are so expensive is that they have their own professionals - typically on a retainer. So even if you don't need a video editor, your fee would go toward paying that retainer. The agencies obviously have to bill accordingly. Our network of professionals are all free-lancers. Many have jobs working in graphic design, copy writing, video production, etc. When we hire them to complete a project, they only bill us for the work on this one project. The way this firm bills it's clients reflects this 21st Century approach.

How much does Zeal ME charge? Each client has a unique situation requiring a unique solution. We have no standard retainer fee as we have no standard jobs that we're working. Our fee would be calculated soon after an initial meeting so you know what to expect when making your decision on hiring a consultant. We also have client's on a project basis. Here is the project, here is the cost. Whatever works best for both of us the way we move forward.

Why can't I find much information on you and your clients? Most of our clients hire us for private counsel. Many of our social media projects would lose their luster if consumers thought an agency was manipulating the sites - which is 100% not the case ... but perception can turn into reality. We also lean toward working with local and smaller businesses as they compete with the nationals. Our presence is typically as a stealth partner.

If your so stealth, how do you get new clients? Chances are, you are at this site after meeting Bob or one of his Zeal ME partners ... or maybe a client suggested you take a look. It's all about word of mouth. Businesses interested in learning about a partnership can drop us an e-mail, or just call Bob on his cell. If you came here through the 140 Character World blog, that's a good thing. You're among like-minded people.
