Chesney
Communications

According to Google analytics, the average website has a "sticktime" of less than 60 seconds. Why, because the majority of websites are merely "brochures" which are skimmed by the reader who un-engaged, clicks off. Chesney Communications is the innovator of "You on Your Website" and helps companies and organizations dramatically increase "Visitor Involvement" with web videos that "Connect". The ABL website is but one example of Chesney's work. Upon accessing our website, visitors immediately meet our President, Mimi Grant and learn first-hand what the organization can do for them. Not a sales pitch, a welcoming and "connecting" engagement. Further, the website is integrated with member comments on video. Whatever your company does, Chesney Communications expertise and technology will dramatically increase "visitor engagement" and elevate your web presence. Best of all, Chesney's mobile studio brings the lights, camera and action into your offices.
