Texas business picks Verizon Business as new service provider
September 15 2021 - 8:00AM
Verizon Business today announced its newest customer: burgeoning
Wylie, Texas-based marketing and advertising firm Speak Loud Media.
“We are honored to count Speak Loud Media and owner DJ Shirley
with his small but mighty team as a new Verizon Business customer,”
said Sampath Sowmyanarayan, Chief Revenue Officer for Verizon
Business. “I love his story and his mission to help small and
medium businesses thrive through his marketing and advertising
counsel and services. Businesses like this represent our commitment
to delivering reliable and unmatched quality connectivity and
technology solutions so they can grow and connect in more
meaningful ways with their customers.”
Shirley, founder and president of the three-person operation,
approached Verizon Business when the company’s previous provider
failed to deliver reliable wireless services. After a consultative
discussion with one of Verizon’s small business experts, he
discovered he could also access other affordable, vital solutions
like Business Mobile Secure which both provides device security as
well as on-demand tech support and video-conferencing with
BlueJeans.
Shirley said Speak Loud began as a side gig to support local and
regional small businesses with creative marketing and digital
advertising they need to expand their brands and reach. It quickly
took off as the pandemic began and with Verizon Business on his
team, he isn’t looking back.
“I left my comfortable construction management career to double
down on my passion,” he said. “Although we were fortunate to
achieve quick success, we also quickly realized we needed much more
reliable wireless service and critical mobile security for our
operations and our clients. Technology is central to our offering,
and with products like BlueJeans, we can quickly engage with
customers and create marketing programs like never before.”
Last week, Verizon’s Small Business Recovery Survey, conducted
by Morning Consult, revealed that small and midsize businesses,
like those similar in size to Speak Loud Media, view technology as
a way to grow their business. According to the data, 63% of
decision makers have implemented digital tools and technologies to
enhance the customer experience and create new opportunities for
their business in the past year. And the recovery is underway - 53%
of businesses say their business is doing better than it was a year
ago, and 68% of owners believe their business will be in a better
state a year from now. Full results of the survey -- the third
release in an ongoing series -- are available [here].
