There are plans to add about 1-2 new employees per month over the next year.Founded 14 years ago, Media Genesis credits its steady growth to a pool of a few hundred clients. It has opened the satellite office in Chicago to grow that client base. Its work ranges from a reality TV show with Time Warner to helping public sector agencies write grants.”We’re doing some really great and fun stuff that is increasing our exposure both nationally and internationally,” says Antoine Dubeauclard, president of Media Genesis. Media Genesis started as a partnership between four EDS co-workers who set up GM.com and then decided they could do the same on their own. Today, Media Genesis specializes in services ranging from consulting, interactive multimedia, audio/video, application development, E-learning, online promotions, and hosting.Source: Antoine Dubeauclard, president of Media GenesisWriter: Jon Zemke
