Exciting news! New benefits website product with Trustnode and opportunity to be part of the initial launch

What if you teamed up cutting-edge technology and proven communication strategy to create an amazing and affordable benefits website product? That’s what we’re doing with Trustnode! And we want you to be part of it.

When I started Benz, our first big client was California Bankers Association. At that time, Kevin Dunn was leading the transformation of their health plan—providing benefits to over 100 banks in California.

Fast forward a few years, and Kevin and his co-founders start Trustnode, one of the most forward-thinking and exciting companies in our industry. We’ve seen their product grow from its beginning concepts, and I’m honored to be on their board of advisors. And now, we’re even more excited to work with them to create a user-friendly, easy-to-implement and affordable benefits website, complete with all the fixings, including social media. I know—it’s about time!

We always say that the first step to success with benefits communication is getting your information online. But not all companies can afford to create the fully custom and elaborate websites that our Fortune 500 clients do. And we haven’t fallen in love with any “out-of-the-box” solutions out there. That’s why we’re thrilled to partner with Trustnode to create this product and make sure more companies can get quality benefits information to their employees and families.

Want a benefits website of your very own?

We’re doing a small pilot right now and looking for just a couple more companies to be part of the first round of development. After the initial pilot, we’ll be offering the website to just 25–30 companies for fall enrollment of this year. Let us know if you want to take part.

The benefits website will include all the essentials: key info about benefits, important contacts and resources, wellness, and consumerism education. Social media integrated, of course. But what makes this site really special is Trustnode’s interactive modules. They feature Harvey and a cast of friendly and engaging cartoon characters who help people understand and interact with their benefits. Cartoons and benefits? Yes! Read what creator Mike Mills said in Benefits Selling about all the science behind this approach.

Want to get in on the pilot or be on the list to have your very own site this summer? Contact us right away! We can’t wait to get this out for everyone to see!
