OUR PHILOSOPHY / PEOPLE

MISSION STATEMENT

By creating an operating environment where our leading experts can express their abilities to the fullest, 3RINGSTUDIOS offers the highest levels of quality and service to companies and organizations wishing to be at the cutting edge of Internet design and functionality, and to utilize these qualities to facilitate maximum potential exposure and presence.

THE COMPANY

3RINGSTUDIOS is comprised of a group of freelance professionals who have been chosen to provide their services based on outstanding performance in their area of expertise. Headed by Project Manager and 3RINGSTUDIOS owner, Paul Marek, this team of exceptionally talented artists and programmers blend technical wizardry with artistic emotion to produce some of the most beautiful and functional websites on the Internet.

When working out of the main studio in the hills of Caledon, Ontario, Canada (45 minutes NW of Toronto) the team enjoys the calm of the countryside as a welcome balance to the hectic pace of everyday operations. When not working out of the Caledon studio, each member of the team works virtually from their own offices - quite literally from Vancouver on the shores of the Pacific, to Halifax on the Atlantic Coast, to the sunny beaches of Bocas del Torro in the Panamanian Archipelago.

We’re a virtual company with virtual walls. We’re able to work with companies and organizations from around the world - without ever meeting. Let our team put our strengths to work for YOU.

THE PEOPLE

PAUL MAREK

Paul Marek first opened 3RINGSTUDIOS in November 2000 after working briefly as a freelance web developer for 3 months - upon graduating from Trios College / Computer Technology Institute in Mississauga, near Toronto.

With diplomas for Web Site Development and E-Commerce Integration (IBM and Microsoft Systems), Mr. Marek decided to offer a full service internet solutions firm to small and medium size companies in the Greater Toronto Area, using freelance developers to assist in completion of projects.

While developing his initial web projects, Paul became very interested in two main features of Internet web development - flash production (which is animated video / audio streaming for the web [ flash movies - examples ]) and search engine optimization (the process of ranking a website in the top positions of search engine results for given keywords [ SEO - examples ]) . Seeing the potential of both these recently introduced technologies, he chose to focus on specializing in these areas. By developing the skills necessary to produce above average results in these areas, Mr. Marek began to produce above average results in these areas. (see the “examples” links above)

Within a few months of start-up, larger corporations began to contact Mr. Marek to have 3RINGSTUDIOS assist them in achieving the outstanding results for their web sites that had been proven for his earlier clients.

Since the summer of 2002, Mr. Marek has taken the growth of 3RINGSTUDIOS over the 1000% mark, with even greater growth potential in the near future.

CHRIS MINZ

Chris Minz, AKA: “Dr. Minz”, is certainly one of the top flash animators in the world. The good Dr. taught himself flash while on a sabatical in Thailand, and ever since has been stretching the limits of Internet viewability to the edges of television production. In fact, a few of his animated music videos have made it to television - getting airtime on Canada’s MuchMusic.

MICHAEL HARDY

Michael Hardy brings years of television production, editing and copywriting to the whole mix - to help add the final “smoothness” to each project. His tenure as Editor at MediaTelevision (CITYTV) has exposed him to a wide spectrum of marketing avenues that can be employed in any situation they are required… a “value add-on” for each project we create.

Michael currently does content and promotional writing, as well as marketing research for us from his beautiful getaway in sunny Bocas del Torro, Panama! See his leisurely pursuits on his website we’ve created (soon to be updated ion ‘06 with our new CMS): www.LeisuRevolution.org
