Optimizely and The C2 Group

Enabling companies to unlock their digital potential with content, ecommerce, and marketing on Optimizely.

The C2 Group specializes in creating world class content management experiences. We value our partnership with Optimizely, because Optimizely is an industry leading content management and marketing platform for mid-market and enterprise clients. C2 focuses on implementation, support, and client adoption of the Optimizely suite of products. We prioritize intentionality in our actions and delivery, enthusiasm with engaging the team and task with positive energy, and a low ego approach to client relationships. Our mission at C2 is to enable talented people to thrive.

The C2 Group becomes one of only three agencies in the world to achieve Optimizely Platinum Partner Status with fewer than 200 employees.

To the best of my knowledge, we are one of two family-owned Platinum partners worldwide.  I am humbled and owe a lot to C2’s team, but we wouldn’t have gotten here without what I’ve learned from my West Michigan mentors,” said Michael Kunzler, CEO and Visionary at C2 group.

The C2 Group is a legacy partner with roots going back over a decade. We began supporting Ektron which became Episerver, and eventually became Optimizely. We've been product experts as it's evolved over the past 15+ years and it's exciting to support a partner that is providing extraordinary value. According to a Forrester study, Optimizely DXP customers can expect a 370% ROI within three years of implementation. C2 is committed to ensuring our clients see these types of results through quality implementations, user experience design, digital marketing efforts, and ongoing support and optimization of the platform.
