In the fall of 1996, there were three of us: Ron
(Dr. Milliman), Dan Stone (Ron's assistant at Western Kentucky University), and
Paul Smith (Ron and Dan's mutual friend who worked for IBM).
The one thing we all had in common was our burning
desire to be in some kind of business dealing with current technology and the
WWW. We met everyday for lunch at a local Mexican restaurant to kick around
ideas. We each had considerable experience with various aspects of marketing,
computer technology (both hardware and software), and the web. So, we decided
to simply pool our abundance of knowledge and experience and form a consulting
business with emphasis on internet marketing and e-commerce.
The name A3 came from the three amigos. However,
since then, two of the original three amigos, Paul and Dan, decided to venture
out on their own, leaving me, Dr. Ron Milliman, to develop the business, which
I have done quite successfully. Our team has greatly expanded, adding several
key players, making us one of the finest consulting services of this type in
the country.
Heading up the team is Dr. Ronald E.
Milliman, with over 40 years of business experience including:
§
sales
§
sales management
§
marketing on the internet/worldwide web
§
advertising
§
market research
§
direct mail
Ron has developed several businesses of his own,
been a consultant to businesses large and small, and is internationally
recognized and widely quoted. He has a Ph.D. in marketing from Arizona State
University and is currently a full professor at Western Kentucky University. At
the university, he teaches marketing, including an up-to-the-minute course in
marketing on the ever-changing world wide web.
In addition to being on the board of two
corporations, Ron is a member of several marketing associations and has
published articles in many of the leading marketing journals.
John has a MBA from Michigan State University and
invested several years in sales with Texas and IBM before joining the A3 consulting
Team. He has a great deal of experience in developing marketing plans and
helping clients implement them, generating more revenue for their businesses.
John is a major contributor to the A3 Team, and we are proud to have him
onboard.
Kathy, after attending the University of Colorado,
worked for a major New York City advertising agency on several key accounts.
Later, in her pursuit of more freedom and independence, she opened one of
several successful businesses in the New York area. After a moving to Florida,
she ran a very successful motel and semi-retired to persue her first love -
photography.
As the computer age began to grow, Kathy expanded her horizons into the area of
web design.
To go with her technical talants, Kathy also possesses excellent administrative
and people skills. Her photography and art background, combined with her
up-to-date knowledge of coding, design, graphics, search engine submission,
etc. make her a key member of the A3 team.
Belinda brings to the A3 team many years of
experience with HTML coding as well as with the newer Cascading Style Sheets.
She is well versed in several graphics programs, including Paint Shop Pro and
Photo Shop, and has vast resources for scripts and other useful design tools.
In her previous job for a photo lab, Belinda worked extensively with
photographic manipulation. As an animal lover, she designs and develops web
sites free of charge for animal rescue groups.
Belinda's skills and talents make her a very valuable member of our A3 team.
Ms. Goldsmith has a BA degree in HR Management
from Tulane University. She worked with Shapiro Data Technologies for five
years prior to joining the A3 team. In the short time Susan has been onboard,
she has made a major impact, greatly improving the digital communications
system for dealing with all personnel related issues.
