President of Media Genesis is named Southeastern Michigan leader
December 2008(Troy, Mich.) - Crain’s Detroit Business has picked their “40 Under 40” best and brightest leaders in Southeastern Michigan and Media Genesis’ President Antoine Dubeauclard has been chosen as one those leaders making an impact in the business community.
Crain’s evaluated this year’s 400 nominees based on the candidate’s personal and professional achievements.
“I have never seen anyone with as much drive and dedication to our clients, staff, and partners,” said Media Genesis Founder and CEO, Brad Frederick. “Antoine has endless energy and has a well-balanced focus on all aspects of the business making Media Genesis a truly great company.”
Dubeauclard, 35, began as a salesman at Media Genesis, a Troy-based Web development company, in 1997 – a year after the company was founded.
Now, 11 years later, he owns half the company and is an expert on Internet and application development strategy. Under his leadership, the company has averaged 50 percent growth over the past few years.
“We have a wide-range of clients from automotive manufactures, retail, nonprofits and law firms, but most are Michigan-based,” Dubeauclard said. “My goal is to step-up the company’s growth nationally.”
His role includes oversight of Media Genesis’ sales and creative departments, and strategic partnerships. He often writes and speaks on Internet related subjects and sits on many boards including an advisory committee for the Residential College at the University of Michigan.
“Not only is Antoine instrumental in coming up with extremely unique business and marketing ideas, but he also realizes that having a solid and creative team of people is why clients choose to work with us,” Frederick said.
Dubeauclard first began programming at age 7 when Internet programming was at its infant stage. By the late 1980s, Mr. Dubeauclard developed some of the earliest Internet games after assembling and leading a group of international game developers. Before coming to Media Genesis he worked for Knight Ridder Information System and University Microfilm Inc.
Past winners have included Danialle Karmanos, chairman of the Board of the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; Marshall Mathers, also known as Eminem, an American rapper, record producer and actor; and Brad Frederick, founder and CEO of Media Genesis.

Media Genesis Advises Young Entrepreneurs at Panel Discussion
December 2008(DETROIT, Mich.) In a local economy struggling to make the switch from manufacturing jobs to a 21st century economy, good ideas have become even more powerful tools. Ideas are exactly what a panel discussion held on November 20 at Wayne State University stimulated.
The discussion was a part of Improving Detroit Through Entrepreneurship Advancement, or IDEA, which aims to promote entrepreneurship and the entrepreneurial spirit among high school students. IDEA has a series of specially designed lectures and panel discussions, as well as visits to businesses and universities, designed to expose students to real-world business environments.
The program is a unique opportunity for Detroit high school students to meet and experience authentic professional areas. Many students face uncertainty after graduating from school, and IDEA is a chance for them to engage with the business world, and emphasizing business education for Detroit students in particular is a particularly valuable endeavor.
Sponsored by a diverse range of partners including Foley & Lardner LLP, Media Genesis, Detroit Public Schools, and Little Caesar’s, the program is set up to guide teams of students through the process of developing a model business using lessons they’ve learned throughout the course of the IDEA program.
Various local businesses, entrepreneurs, attorneys, and motivational speakers will all share experiential knowledge with the students over the course of the program. The panel discussion at Wayne State was one event for IDEA, featuring Antoine Dubeauclard, President of Media Genesis, as an introductory speaker and AnnMarie Connolly, Human Capital Enthusiast for Media Genesis, as a panelist.
Dubeauclard spoke about being an entrepreneur for a start-up business, giving history and insight into his role at Media Genesis for the audience, comprised mostly of high school juniors and seniors.
Over the course of the panel discussion, Connolly answered a range of questions concerning human resources, including subjects like hiring, retention, and evaluation. The panel also featured David Charlip from Kelly Services and Nancy Green from AMCOR.
“Having the opportunity to speak to high school students about entrepreneurship was a privilege for me,” Dubeauclard said. “I’ve been interested in business since I was a young man, so I appreciate the advantage that insight and experience can provide to developing entrepreneurs.”
