Building a different kind of company
A business is not about shareholder value, or about making gobs of money. A business is about believing in something big and important and worthwhile, an idea that compels you to share a piece of yourself with the world. It’s finding opportunities to work with great people pursuing similar dreams, people desiring to make their world just a little bit better. It’s about realizing that your life has been blessed with amazing gifts and talents, and understanding that the highest purpose of those talents is to help others.
Some would argue these are pretty idealistic things to expect from a business. We agree.
About Intentionally
Intentionally is a small online marketing company in Chicago. We develop standards-based websites, perform search engine optimization on new and existing sites, provide usability consulting, and craft online marketing campaigns to help our clients improve their businesses. We’ve been involved with major projects for colleges and universities all over the country, as well as companies and non-profits of all sizes.
Intentionally has a way of seeing the world, of seeing business. It says that everything we do, every project we undertake, every interaction with customers is undertaken in a purposeful and meaningful way - or else it is not undertaken at all. This view is why we started this company in the first place. It’s why we’re very selective about who we work with. It’s why we give 10% of everything we make to people who have more important things to worry about than the quality of their website.
About You
The people we work with are forward-thinking idealists - people probably a lot like you. They approach their companies with the same passion we approach ours with. They believe that anything worth doing is worth doing in a remarkable way. Their understand that their business is a reflection of themselves, and they project the best of themselves into the company that they love. Their businesses are a means to a livelihood for themselves and their employees, but they are also much more.
They know that the internet can be a powerful piece of their business, but they understand that having a website for its own sake is worthless. They realize that a website is only as good as the results it generates for them. They know that a compelling, beautiful site that’s easy to find will instantly improve their image in the minds of their customers. They know that a strategic online campaign, when done right, can generate new and repeat business without placing a significant burden on their time. They know the internet can do this for them - they just need the right tools.
They’re fed up with working with companies that don’t share their passion. They wish companies would treat them with the same love and attention they treat their own customers with. They want to like the people they do business with. They want to be treated fairly, honestly, promptly and personally.
If this sounds like you, we’d love to talk.
