• Loyal Partnership
At Markeona we see ourselves as our clients’ lifelong loyal partners. That’s why we make it a prime concern to invest in understanding our clients’ businesses, the products and/or services they provide and the culture and environment of the work place. By doing so, we seamlessly fit into our clients’ organizations and make them as comfortable as possible while dealing with us.
• Crowning the Client
At Markeona we believe that clients should be treated as royalty. With this in mind, phrases like “this can’t be done” or “we can’t finish this in that amount of time” don’t exist in our dictionary. There is also no such thing as an unpleasant encounter with any member of Markeona’s team. We enjoy a positive, productive, flexible approach and never miss a chance at pampering our royal clients.
• Cherishing Time
At Markeona we believe that time is the most precious asset: with enough time, almost anything can be achieved but when time runs out, no other asset can compensate for it. That’s why, we always work with deadlines and action plans. We believe that wasting our clients’ time or ours is worse than stealing, for stolen money can always be remade in time, but stolen time can never be regained.
• Perfection and Precision
At Markeona we are all perfection addicts. We believe that we have to keep working and critiquing our work until it is as perfect as it can get before we even show it to our clients. We invest a lot in analyzing our clients’ needs before we start working to ensure that the end product matches all our clients’ requirements and adheres to our meticulous standards of quality.
• Reliability and Accessibility
At Markeona we believe that the client “his/her royalty” should never have to wait for a response. Accordingly, we are make ourselves accessible via email, phone, messaging as well as Skype, Viber and FaceTime for our International clients or local clients in need of a quick virtual meeting.
