How Kentico Sparked the Reason One Partnership
Summary: It’s the kind of story you don’t hear every day: two agencies bumping into each other at industry events, realizing they share the same values, and eventually merging into one powerhouse. For Reason One founders Ben Cash and Sean Kozey, it was a chance encounter turned into a perfect partnership—all sparked by their shared love for Kentico.
From Competitors to Collaborators
In the agency world, competition is the norm. You see the same faces on RFP shortlists and at tech conferences. But for us, it wasn’t a rivalry; it was like finding a missing puzzle piece. Instead of treating each other as competitors, we discovered a synergy. Both teams were aligned in their commitment to Kentico as the platform of choice, especially in the nonprofit and healthcare sectors. It felt a bit like the classic “When Harry Met Sally” moment—realizing that our competition was actually complementary.
The Chemistry That Built Reason One
The story of Reason One is rooted in shared goals and a natural chemistry between two teams. At Kentico conferences, Sean Kozey and Ben Cash found themselves constantly crossing paths. Both agencies excelled in sectors like nonprofit, healthcare, and associations, but each had distinct strengths that made them a perfect fit. One team focused on creative innovation and client engagement, while the other brought deep technical expertise and platform mastery. Together, we realized we were stronger as a unified force.
Partnering with Kentico wasn’t just a strategic choice; it was driven by a shared passion for creating exceptional digital experiences. With a common vision, combining our expertise became the next logical step. And so, Reason One was born—a dynamic merger of two agencies with a clear mission: to push boundaries and deliver impactful results for clients.
Kentico’s Role in the Success Story
Looking back, it’s clear that Kentico was more than just a CMS platform; it was a catalyst for connection. With Kentico, we found a flexible, scalable solution that enabled us to grow rapidly and take on larger, more complex projects. The results speak for themselves: Reason One has earned several Site of the Year and Site of the Month awards—a direct outcome of our deep integration with the Kentico platform.
Beyond the accolades, the real strength of our partnership lies in the ongoing collaboration and open dialogue with Kentico’s team. Through continuous feedback and communication, we’ve influenced product updates and stayed ahead of industry trends. This level of cooperation has enabled us to craft innovative, tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of our clients, particularly in nonprofit and healthcare digital strategies.
A Shared Vision for the Future
As we look ahead, the partnership between Reason One and Kentico is only getting stronger. With new projects on the horizon, we’re excited to explore cutting-edge solutions that drive client success.
