We are thrilled to celebrate our 20th year of providing innovative and time-saving solutions for PR, marketing professionals and small business clients. In our early years, we emerged as the technology leader in localized PR solutions for the franchise industry as we understood the importance of creating a strategy for technology transformation. From this experience promoting local businesses to local audiences, we recognized the value of social media marketing in building a loyal, local community of prospects and customers. In 2010, we launched our flagship social media management portal. Today, we offer a suite of no cost and subscription services that serve over 40,000 small and medium sized business owners in the U.S. and Canada.

“Social media offers small and medium sized business owners an affordable and scalable way to promote their products and services and build their businesses’ reputations at the individual consumer level,” said Jon Victor, CEO of Engage121, Inc., “but entrepreneurs who want to take advantage of this potential face challenges. There’s a learning curve, it’s time consuming to do social media ‘right’, and it can be difficult to gain enough of an understanding about social media marketing to make the business decision to invest in it. As Engage121 moved toward its 20th year in business, we knew we had to make social media marketing for small business easy and time-efficient, and we had to give business owners a chance to try it before they made the decision to buy it. And that’s just what we’ve done.”

For example, if a business wanted to promote on Instagram they could use companies like Task Ant, in order to find the best hashtags to help the business to grow. As mentioned previously, there are a lot of ways in which you could boost your business’ potential, and marketing via the various social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc. These could prove to be effective in improving on your brand value.

“The past 20 years have been an exciting and challenging time in the PR and marketing technology industry,” said Victor. “As our company’s focus hung on sls 3d printing for some time and then shifted to this new medium, where the only constant was change, we kept a single, defining purpose in mind for our products and services: helping our clients to achieve their business goals. It has been this singular focus on supporting our clients’ success that has made Engage121 the leader in managing social for small businesses that it is today.”
