About Network9

Intentional Design and clear messaging

You know how hard it is to get people to open their wallets? What are you doing today to win new business? Most companies are stuck telling their own story instead of presenting their product as the answer to a client’s problem. This is the old, me-first way of selling.

our superpower

Companies need their website to connect what they sell to what people need.

be honest…is your message me-focused, confusing or just plain boring?

There’s a lot a stake when you introduce your business online—or in person. If potential clients don’t get how you solve a specific problem for them—in an instant— they won’t buy it. Most of the time, companies talk about themselves or bombard people with jargon. Boring!

Even the smartest business owners struggle with describing what they do in plain English so people get it. They want to win new business, but confusion isn’t opening any new wallets.

Our superpower is creating a visual and verbal story that teaches people why and how to buy from you.

When your product aligns with people’s deepest needs and desires, big things happen! This is the new way of selling!

Who benefits most from our work:

Our website and graphic design work supports PR firms in telling their client’s story by achieving clarity and consistency in message and design. It enhances their work…and, they will add an additional revenue stream by extending their services.
Marketing Directors who want to create a brand story across all media, but don’t have the in-house talent to design and execute it. We fill the talent gap.
Sales teams need marketing support. We create visual stories in our presentations for sales teams to break through possible objections and demonstrate value when facing clients.
Legal, tech and financial services companies who must transform their usual confusing, boring jargon into clear benefits.
Non profits, because if they don’t motivate donors emotionally, donations will dry up and they can’t do any more good in the world.

We want to work with leaders who have the courage and vision to become a beloved brand.

The investment companies make often pays for itself with just 1 or 2 new clients. Why wait? Take the leap!

“When a company’s growth is stagnant, it’s usually because new customers aren’t clear about why they should buy from them.” ~Carmen, Boss Lady

Carmen Yazejian

Founder & BOSS LADY of Network9

People always tell me “Don’t take your work personally”, but I can’t work any other way. I care deeply about each and every client’s success and obsess about ways to improve it. Yes, I do take it personally, and think that’s the way it should be.

I’m a 3X business owner, designer, New Yorker, Fire Islander, ex-fashion designer, mother, haiku writer, traveler, gardener, tree lover, expert pie maker, avid reader, music & film devotee, Woodstock attendee, highly opinionated and so much more! Anyone who knows me knows I’m a fan of The Boss…so Bruce, if you are reading this, let’s have dinner!

Carmen supports the ASPCA, Daily Kos, ACLU, Planned Parenthood, National Parks, Future Fund Now, Wounded Warriors and several more bleeding heart causes that matter to me.

I want to work with political candidates to support them with their message and get to a win.

Chris is a problem-solver at heart, and his patience with code that misbehaves is boundless. He’s always up for catching a Yankees game, playing a round of golf or picking a tune on the guitar.
