ZANA Network initially retained the agency to handle media relations, and quickly took advantage of additional services, including social networking, blogging and podcasts. Birnbach also works with clients in financial services and software, technology, Internet security, healthcare and life sciences, consumer, nonprofit and education sectors.

They understand our goals and look to traditional and nontraditional ways to help us achieve our ambitious goals.” Birnbach Communications has been working with online social networks for several years, including launching Couplets.com, the first online social networking site designed to help couples who want to make new friends. The agency also helps other clients navigate social media to reach their customers. “ZANA Network launched with a clear vision and strategy of what small businesses need, and weren’t finding anywhere else. There are other social networks, but they are geared for staying in touch with friends or for networking for your next job – not for actually doing business. There are other sites providing resources and advice, but they don’t offer programs like micro loans, access to government contracts, credit insurance – services that help small and medium businesses do business,” said Norman Birnbach, President, Birnbach Communications, Inc. “ZANA Network continues to expand its offerings and to deliver on its vision, and fulfils a real need for small and medium businesses.” About ZANA Network, LLC ZANA Network is an online marketplace and business development resource for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) worldwide.
