| The engineer and architect of MindShare Design's patent-pending e-mail marketing technology, Steve Smith turned a one-man web-design firm into one of the leading e-mail technology providers. Growing the company without outside financing, Steve's solid business principles and strong leadership make MindShare Design the e-mail service provider for 800+ customers and one of the few growing, profitable companies in the industry. Today, MindShare Design's diverse offerings and advanced architecture are indicative of the Darwinian approach Steve takes with MindShare Design, for he realizes that, more than ever, the most successful company will be the one most responsive to the customer's needs. His experience speaking at DIRECT Magazine's annual CEO E-mail Roundtable underscores Smith's deep understanding of the commercial e-mail industry. A strong critic of spam, Steve believes that the future of the industry rests in high-value, results-oriented e-mail technology that enables e-mail marketers to more effectively communicate with potential customers. |
