ConsumerBase LLC is an Evanston, Illinois, USA-based data marketing company that is well known player within the direct marketing industry.
The company’s Chief Executive Officer is Larry Organ, a Canadian born entrepreneur.
History
ConsumerBase began in 2001 as CustomOffers, an email marketing company. In January of 2002, CustomOffers was purchased by Canadian firm Mosaic Group Inc. for just under $50 million (U.S.).
Mosaic Group (previously listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol TSX:MGX) organized CustomOffers into an operating division and named it Mosaic Data Solutions.
By the end of 2002, however, Mosaic Group faced severe financial difficulty due to excessive debt and filed for bankruptcy protection.
In 2003, Larry Organ repurchased the data solutions division out of bankruptcy and, once again, began to lead it as a stand-alone company with the new name of ConsumerBase.
Corporate Organization
ConsumerBase continues to provide email marketing as well as Search Engine Marketing and other data products. It is divided up into three divisions; Data, Digital Agency and Websites.
The company is still headquartered in Evanston, IL and has expanded to include offices in Atlanta, GA; Cincinnati, OH; Denver, CO; and Fort Myers, FL.
Controversy
ConsumerBase stirred considerable controversy in the spring of 2006 when Forbes magazine ran an article entitled “You Can Surf But You Can't Hide” in which the author voiced privacy concerns over ResponderInfo, a product carried by the company.
Additionally, ConsumerBase has a patent pending on a process it employs for data collection. The company captures behavioral information online by recording search engine clicks from email campaigns, stores the data and markets it for use in both online and offline marketing campaigns.

The International Negotiation Institute (INI) is an international organization, founded in 2007, with the stated aim of leveling the negotiation playing field and removing financial considerations as a block to disadvantaged organizations and communities improving their negotiating competence through negotiation training.
INI is a humanitarian effort and was founded primarily as an alternative to militarized resolutions to conflict and dispute. INI immediately extended it's scope, from supporting organizations involved in mediating armed conflict, to include all financially underprivileged public service organizations and communities that find disadvantage at the negotiating table through lack of skill.
History
At 12:38am, on the sixteenth day of January, in the year 2008, William Frances Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth, approved the articles for the non profit organization the International Negotiation Institute Corporation.
Structure
The President of INI is Azam M. Z. Zia. Originally from the United Kingdom, Azam studied law and founded the teaching and educational excellence organization, Total Education Services, before coming to the United States of America in 2007 where he accepted the role of Associate Director with one of the programs at the Program on Negotiation at Harvard Law School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. When the program matured and left the law school, Azam went on to found the International Negotiation Institute with the intention of creating a free, unending supply of world class negotiators and conflict resolution professionals to train, intervene and support those struggling for peace and equity throughout the world.
Training School
A significant majority of the projects undertaken by INI involve training. INI's Training School is a new faculty, established in 2007 with the stated mission to Establish INI's Training School as the centre of excellence for tomorrow's negotiation and conflict resolution professionals.
The training school has two main branches;
Delivery: Best Practices
The first branch of courses offered by INI's Training school are generic delivery methods.
Since the school began it has been left open to contributors from all over the world to send in their best practices. They are then developed and used as material for the courses.
Groundwork
The second branch of courses are project specific courses. They are written in partnership with law firms, focus groups and humanitarian organizations. Groundwork courses are used to prepare trainers for actual projects.
Intervention and Support
Some of INI's work involves managing active conflict on behalf of parties involved. Groundwork training is also used here.
Just Make Intention
Just Make Intention is INI's donation and voluteer recruitment programme.
Articles
INI has an open invitation for articles from all negotiation professionals, to be published on the website and to be tranferred to course material.
