Belniak Media

What Belniak Media does

Belniak Media, Inc. is a privately held, founder-owned full-service digital marketing agency headquartered in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, founded in 2001 by Gary Belniak. The firm delivers web design and development, custom programming, e-commerce systems, SEO, PPC management, social media marketing, email and e-newsletter campaigns, corporate branding and print collateral, trade show graphics, and video/multimedia production. Its underlying technology stack is built on PHP, HTML, CSS, MySQL, JavaScript, and WordPress CMS, augmented by a proprietary e-commerce platform called SublymeCommerce and custom-built integrations including SAP-to-website data synchronization and IP-routed quote cart systems for international distributor networks. The company hosts more than 80 client websites on its own infrastructure and completed a server-wide PHP 8.1 migration in November 2022.

The agency serves a heterogeneous client base spanning small local businesses, mid-market firms, and enterprise customers including Parker Hannifin Corporation, JLL, Roquette America, and Proceq. Core verticals are B2B manufacturing and industrial companies requiring complex system integrations, scalable e-commerce, and international distributor routing, supplemented by a long tail of SMB clients. Notable engagements include a multi-decade SAP-integrated e-commerce partnership with Humboldt Mfg. Co. (since 2001), approved-vendor status within Parker Hannifin's Parker Agency Portal, and full-service agency-of-record responsibilities for Slide Products, Inc. since May 2021.

Belniak Media generates revenue through three primary streams: project-based professional services billed at hourly rates with upfront deposits (typically one-third to one-half of project value), recurring retainer arrangements for ongoing SEO, PPC, content development, and marketing support, and subscription-based dedicated web hosting billed ahead of renewal. Distribution is entirely direct and consultative, with President Gary Belniak personally overseeing all client work and offering an initial complimentary meeting to scope engagements. The firm operates with a core team of approximately 10 full-time staff supplemented by freelance specialists, has never raised external capital, and has conducted no acquisitions.
