Atlanta-based firm jumps up 9 spots in one yearon annual Atlanta Business Chronicle list
Atlanta (August 28, 2007) – For the second consecutive year, Kellen Interactive has earned a spot on the Atlanta Business Chronicle’s list of top Atlanta-area web design and development companies.
Kellen Interactive placed 15th in the recently published “Atlanta’s Largest Web Design & Development Cos.” The web group – which is a division of Kellen Company, a professional management and consulting firm – moved up nine spots from last year’s top 25 list.
Kellen Interactive leaders say their achievements – both financially and in terms of client and workforce expansion – stem from a commitment to quality customer service and the ability to provide a wide range of Internet and interactive media solutions.
“You have to have a good infrastructure in place to provide the best service to your clients,” said Josh Linard, Business Development Manager. “We have an exceptional team at Kellen Interactive. Each person brings a different skill-set to the table, from Web development and e-learning to Internet marketing and corporate identity development. Because of this, we are able to provide full-service solutions, one-on-one customer service and project management every step of the way.”
In 1996, a newly formed Kellen Interactive catered to small dot-com initiatives and mom-and-pop firms. About three employees handled Web-based work for 12 clients. Today, a full-time staff of 15 serves more than 200 clients – including Georgia Institute of Technology, Georgia Natural Gas, CBIZ Medical Management Professionals, CoreNet Global, Fidelity Bank and Cousins Properties Inc. – in the Atlanta region alone.
“With employees nationwide, we had many specific requests that needed to be filled,” said Brandi McKean, Marketing Director of CBIZ Medical Management Professionals “Kellen Interactive created a virtual file-sharing network, a dynamic area that is completely managed by our HR staff, an interactive calendar, and several other user-friendly applications that exceeded our expectations. We are now able to make changes to the Intranet and upload files without knowing any web development technology. With the help of Kellen Interactive, our company Intranet is valuable, beneficial and successful!”
Kellen Interactive utilizes programming tools such as ASP, ASP.NET, Dynamic HTML, Flash, Javascript, Shockwave, SQL, VisualBasic and Dreamweaver. Web developers, graphic designers, programming specialists, copywriters, database and application engineers, computer illustrators and e-marketing experts all work together under one roof to create unique, custom web sites.
Although the company initially focused on Web site development, evolving technology has led to more involvement in creative design and branding, search engine optimization, e-commerce, flash design and e-mail marketing.
“I recently worked with Kellen’s graphic design team on an exciting new Awards Project for one of our properties,” said Janine Powell, Area Property Manager for Cousins Properties Incorporated. “ What I liked most was they made themselves part of our team by sharing in the success of the project. They had ideas for us, they brought the ideas we had to life, and the end result was something everyone was proud of. They were also flexible. When we ran into any sticky situations, they worked with us on a great solution.”
“We are still serving our very first client and we’re expanding every year,” said Linard. “We offer a full set of services designed to keep a company’s Internet and creative communications in sync with their current and potential customer base.”
This growth in new business is primarily attributed to Kellen’s diverse range of Information Technology skills. Various testimonials praise the Web team’s ability to improve their clients’ visibility in the online world.
“I wanted to compliment you on the work you and your team have been doing for our Web site,” says Jim Seltzer, CEO of PrizeRoom.Com, a new client. “ The work is absolutely phenomenal. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am when I look at what you created. Keep up the good work!”
