After more than two decades of building one of Tampa Bay’s most successful digital marketing agencies, Lori Piencykoski is expanding her influence beyond client services to create a collaborative learning platform for marketing professionals nationwide.
Piencykoski, who holds the prestigious Master Certified Internet Web Designer certification, founded Netco Design in 2000 and has since guided businesses ranging from startups to million-dollar corporations in establishing dominant digital presences. Now, she’s channeling her expertise into Modern Marketing Minds, an educational community designed to connect learners and experts in web development, SEO, paid advertising, and social media marketing.
The new venture represents a natural evolution for someone known in professional circles as the “Google Queen” and “SEO Maven.” Throughout her career, Piencykoski has maintained a dual focus on delivering results for clients while educating them about digital marketing strategies.
“Lori’s insights have empowered me. Through her tailored classes, I’ve grasped the nuances of website editing and the interplay of business strategies to maximize returns,” noted one client in a testimonial about working with the Florida-based agency.
Modern Marketing Minds will offer members access to live workshops, SEO challenge chats, and show-and-tell events where participants can present projects and receive constructive feedback from peers. The platform aims to provide real-time collaboration opportunities for marketers facing campaign challenges, along with personalized support for websites, advertisements, and social media strategies.
The community-focused approach mirrors Piencykoski’s client service philosophy at Netco Design, where relationship-building and clear communication have been central to the agency’s growth. The firm offers comprehensive services including web development, search engine optimization, search engine marketing, advanced web analytics, email marketing, pay-per-click advertising, and content strategy.
“Engaging Netco Design transformed our digital visibility. In a span of 5 years, from being virtually invisible, we’ve secured a prime spot in a competitive domain,” shared another client about their experience with the agency.
Piencykoski’s commitment to staying current with industry changes has been instrumental in both her agency’s success and her ability to educate others. She regularly updates her knowledge in web design, eCommerce, SEO, SEM, branding, and reputation management, ensuring that both her clients and future Modern Marketing Minds members receive cutting-edge strategies.
The launch of Modern Marketing Minds comes at a time when digital marketing professionals increasingly seek collaborative environments for skill development and networking. The platform will feature interactive video workshops on topics such as Google Ads optimization and web performance, led by industry experts who provide immediate feedback to participants.
For Piencykoski, the educational component has always been integral to her work. She takes pride in demystifying complex digital marketing concepts, whether guiding clients through Google listings or explaining WordPress backend functionality. This teaching approach has earned her numerous five-star reviews and powerful testimonials from businesses that have experienced transformational results.
“Earlier engagements with other firms led to hefty investments with negligible results. Netco Design’s approach? Transformational, and worth every dime!” reported a client who switched to Netco Design’s services.
As Modern Marketing Minds continues to take shape, it promises to extend Piencykoski’s impact beyond the Tampa Bay area to marketing professionals nationwide who seek practical, results-driven education in digital marketing. The platform will emphasize hands-on learning through week-long SEO challenges, virtual showcases for recent projects, and ongoing opportunities for professional collaboration.
With over two decades of experience elevating digital footprints for businesses across industries, Piencykoski’s expansion into educational services represents a significant development for marketing professionals seeking to enhance their skills and connect with like-minded practitioners in an evolving digital landscape.
