What is Extanz and what does our name mean?:
The name Extanz (a phonetic version of the word ‘exstans’) comes from the latin ‘exstare’ (its present participle to be precise and test your knowledge of English grammar) and means to ‘stand out’ or ‘project’. And that is what we do. We help you use new media to enable your organization to stand out for and from others. Social media is a way of projecting who you are and what you do, enabling a third space for all those connected to you.
Where is Extanz?:
Right here. Where you are. Or where you want/need to be. For those of us who still feel the need for a ‘carbon’ place of being, Extanz is based on the beautiful Colorado front range.
