Business & Management Consulting

It was a great experience working with Strategy Up on my digital strategy.  They were able to understand my needs, and helped me improve tremendously my online presence.

I am so glad that I found them, as they delivered everything that we agreed upon with high professionalism.  They do not put restrictions, they are always willing to go the extra mile and assist in any way they can.

We were able in less than a month to work on my social media portals and travel related websites to help me boost my AirBnB business.  I am confident that now, more clients are going to find my business online.

Now I feel extremely confident that my business and my revenue stream will grow  just because of this project.  I would love to have Strategy Up work on my future projects.

Great course Marc, I learned so much

This is a great course… thanks again Marc. Your course has helped build my confidence in promoting my event digitally.

If you are a small business owner in NS, I strongly recommend you register for this free course! Marc Zirka is extremely knowledgeable and shares his wisdom in a relaxed and informative online structure. I just completed this program and took away SO MANY valuable lessons. Highly recommended!

Marc is an expert at Digital Marketing and Telecommunications. I got to know Marc as one of his students on a Digital Marketing course he taught, in partnership with the Halifax Metro Business Association. Marc has both the practical and theoretical expertise to not only excel at teaching but truly engage his students. I have taken many university courses, including completion of two Graduate degrees, and Marc was a higher caliber instructor than most of my university professors !”

I have recently had the pleasure to take the course, “Marketing in the New Digital Era” with Marc Zirka, and I have been thoroughly impressed by his dedication to adult learning. His wonderful use of business experiences, real-life examples, and an open and constructive teaching style made for a fantastic learning experience. Thanks for helping me take my business to the next level!

Taking Strategy Up’s “Marketing in the New Digital Era” course was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my business. It was an amazing 12 week crash course (because yes, there is that much to learn) starting with the fundamentals, and incorporating real life examples of how each stage is implemented. Does this make me an expert? No. But now I know what I don’t know when it comes to marketing, and that’s immeasurably valuable. I was especially fortunate have Marc to help guide my class through it all. He’s not only a fountain of information, but he breaks it down in a way that take the intimidation factor to almost zero. On top of that, he really listens and cares about each person and their journey, whatever stage they’re in. If you have the opportunity to work with Marc and Strategy Up, jump at it!

We feel so lucky to have found [you]… Strategy Up, and it’s clear from your report that you really understood our small operation. From the beginning we felt like you were invested, and all the little things you did — like meeting at our home (and bringing pizza!), rescheduling calls, and challenging us to think differently made us feel valued and that we were in capable hands.

It also means a lot to know we can call on you again. With all that’s happening right now, who knows what the future will bring. Either way, we are feeling more confident that the business can survive.

As a management team we have been dealing with a number of challenges from new products and teams, movement of work, changing of roles, growth and more in the recent few months. I thought Strategy Up did well in preparing a few foundational models and topics to address a broad spectrum of relatable and usable content for all role levels from junior managers to senior managers and in between, as well as focusing on values that brought us together from a leadership, engagement and unity perspective. We have continued to work with Strategy Up on a go forward basis for other exciting initiatives to invest into our staff and their knowledge, support and careers holistically. A sincere thank you to the Strategy Up team and their passion, enthusiasm and professionalism.

“My experience with Telcovision Group (the parent company of Strategy Up) through Marc Zirka has been outstanding. Telcovision delivered a quality product, on-time and with no surprises or drama. The experience for my 600 participants participating in the digital start-up simulation was an unqualified success. Beyond the simulation, Marc did a great job helping me to articulate the learning objectives of the exercise and communicate those to the participants in a way that delivered real value to them.”

“It was a pleasure to work with a very professional team. They offered a fresh perspective about the strategic approach for my business.  I would recommend them.”​​
