You are here because you are a business owner who knows that your business can have a positive impact on the lives of your customers and on your life as well.
The problem?
You're NOT reaching the people you want to reach - the people who can benefit from your product or service.
IF ONLY more people knew about what you do and how well you do it. Wouldn't that change your business and your life?
How do you reach more people in today's digital age?
Well, you've got to add online advertising to your marketing toolkit.
That's where we come in.
We aim "to level the advertising playing field for professional service providers to be easily found anywhere they are needed around the globe."
We want to help you reach the people you want to help.
iBeFound Digital Marketing can play an important role in the attainment of this vision.
We believe that our helping YOU to easily be found begins with you having a branded, well-optimised website linked to a domain name you own.
iBeFound is a web consulting and digital marketing agency based in New Zealand. It was founded back in May 2014 by Dr. Alla Kiroshka and Dahlian Lamy - partners in life and in business.
We are the Revenue Lifeguard for small to medium-sized businesses. We help local businesses save money and make money by providing cost-effective web design and digital marketing services.
iBeFound was born in answer to the cries of business owners who are fed up with the imbalance between excessive cost and insufficient value that has become rampant in the web marketing industry.
You'll come to see that, though our web agency is relatively young, our founders have many years of experience - in the area of starting/running successful businesses as well as in the areas of website design and internet marketing.
Unlike our competitors, we have personally started service businesses in a range of industries, growing them into 6-figure and 7-figure companies. This real-world experience guides us when working with our clients.
Now, YOU have the opportunity to tap into this experience!
In the process of preparing to launch another business venture, our co-founders stumbled upon a need that they knew they could fill.
Out of that discovery, iBeFound was born.
Before we delve into those details, we should probably introduce you to the masterminds behind iBeFound International Ltd -
Alla Kiroshka and Dahlian RyLee Lamy.
Alla and Dahlian first connected through Facebook in early 2013 because of similar interests in entrepreneurship and internet marketing.
Alla (aka Dr Alla), a trained Facial Reconstructive surgeon, has had experience in starting and running a variety of successful offline businesses. These included:
After years of personal use, and on the advice of family and friends who had been benefitting from her recommendations, Alla decided to go commercial by starting her own line of mushroom-based supplements around 2004 while still living in South Africa.
On moving to New Zealand in 2007, the Organic Health Centre was established in Christchurch as a base for health consultations and distribution of Dr. Alla's Medimushrooms dietary supplements.
Due to the unfortunate and devastating earthquakes that rocked Christchurch in 2010/2011, the Organic Health Centre was completely destroyed.
This struck a huge financial blow to Alla and presented a tremendous setback but, being ever resilient, Alla moved her operations online and began to rebuild her business.
This required learning a whole new set of marketing skills. So, Alla turned to the world of internet marketing.
Dahlian (better known as Dale) comes from quite a different background, holding a Masters in Mathematics and a Bachelors in Electronic Engineering Technology. Dale has spent the better part of his life in the world of academia, getting paid to teach Mathematics from as early as 13 years old.
He started his teaching career in the secondary arena in the late 1990's while still living in his Caribbean homeland. During this time, Dale applied his skills of research and compilation to self-publishing a Physics handbook that met with some limited success. He has a long-held desire to write a series of Mathematics textbooks.
However, life had other things in store for Dale. In 2000 he moved to the United States to further his education, eventually landing an instructorship at a prestigious university in New Jersey. It was here that he revisited the idea of writing one or more texts on Mathematics, and he began to immerse himself in research and writing. Unfortunately, life's distractions steered him away from completing this project for which he had already written over 100 pages.
Like Alla, Dale is an entrepreneur at heart and he has long dreamed of having his own business, but unlike Alla, he had not mustered the courage to fully follow this part of his heart. Nevertheless, he kept his entrepreneurship flame alive by researching and learning about various aspects of marketing, self employment, and business building.
Taking advantage of the wealth of information available on the internet, Dale taught himself web programming, and used his knowledge to build websites for himself and others on a part-time basis. At one point, in the mid-2000's, he was on the verge of starting a web design company but his partner backed out causing that venture to be put indefinitely on hold.
After a change of circumstances in 2012 forced him to reassess his dreams, goals, and aspirations, Dale made a conscious decision to actively pursue his desire of having his own business. So, he began by turning to the worldwide web to learn about internet marketing and the various business ventures available to him.
The knowledge he gained has been used in the creation of mini-sites, online salespages, ebooks, reports and white papers. Dale's ability to explain various topics in an easy-to-understand manner quickly caught the attention of others who actively sought him out. And this is how the paths of Alla and Dale crossed.
In the course of pursuing a common internet venture, Alla came knocking on Dale's Facebook 'door' seeking some advice. Very quickly, friendship blossomed between them. They exchanged ideas and shared their knowledge with each other. In time, they began to discuss the possibility of forming a complete merger.
In late 2013, Dale resigned from his prestigious teaching position and moved to New Zealand to start a new life with Alla. One of the first business tasks that Dale took on was to revamp Alla's MediMushrooms website on the front and back ends.
Once that was completed, they turned their attention to another business venture they had been looking into - a marketing consultancy business geared towards helping offline businesses set up their sales funnel in an effective manner so as to achieve maximum returns.
While doing some market research using the various popular online directories available to New Zealanders, Alla and Dale made some observations and comparisons that led them to believe that the true needs of the business owners were not being adequately met.
Yes, the owners were getting a listing for their businesses, but oftentimes these listings were drowning in a sea of third-party ads or they were miscategorised or the costs to be properly listed far outweighed the promised value.
That got Alla and Dale thinking, and here's what they had to say...
"We envisioned something better... something more!
We want to provide a place where owners get much more than a business listing.
A place where we could give them "not a fish for a day" but where we could teach them "to fish for a lifetime".
A place where we could use our shared knowledge and expertise to demystify the process of successfully adding that much-needed online component to an offline business.
We want to provide a place where business owners could build connections, grow in confidence, and take control in the business marketing arena."
That idea gave birth to our online business directory at iBeFound.com
Starting from just offering business listings in our online business directory, we quickly progressed to providing website design and related web services.
iBeFound International Ltd was created to connect professional service providers with quality, targeted customers by providing the means for them to build connections, grow in confidence, and take control in the online marketing arena.
We aim to level the advertising playing field for professional service providers to be easily found anywhere they are needed around the globe.
Backed by our founders who have a keen eye for detail, a strong sense for business success, and an intense desire to help our clients achieve their business goals, we strive for perfection. At the end of each project, we want our clients to walk away feeling fully satisfied that their vision was realized.
The members of our team have been chosen both for their knowledge and experience in their various areas of expertise as well as their drive to deliver top-notch quality and service. From creating your website to promoting your business on the web, we strive to understand and realize your needs.
iBeFound's team begins with the company directors - the adult members of the family. They all take an active role in the day-to-day running of the business. Each one brings a variety of expertise and experience to the group that helps us provide top quality service to our clients.
