Not personally familiar with Kim Neilsen or his business, so I was surprised after reading all of the above to see this:
Quote:
ATK Owner Kim Nielsen Honored with XBIZ Web Industry Pioneer Award
Presented January 10 at the 2012 XBIZ Awards, the Accolade Recognizes Nielsen as a Leader in the Adult Entertainment Industry
He holds a Bachelors degree in business administration from University of Washington, a MBA in marketing from University of Michigan, Executive Education in Strategic Marketing from University of Pennsylvania?s Wharton School, and a PhD in marketing from University of Florida. Nielsen taught courses in Principles of Marketing, Quantitative Methods for Business, Personal Selling and Sales Force Management and E-Commerce at undergraduate and MBA levels.
Nielsen worked for several years at General Motors in the Advanced Marketing Methodologies department before being promoted to Manager of Market Research for GMC?s Truck Division and later to Program Manager of the GM Syclone and Typhoon high performance truck programs. During his employment at GM, Nielsen developed and validated new tools for conducting market research. It was there he truly learned how to understand and cater to consumer trends.
Taking the knowledge, Nielsen created his own high performance motor shop in Michigan, lending to his entrepreneurial experience. After returning to school and receiving a PhD, Nielsen launched ATK, growing the company from one site operated off a single PC to one of the most lucrative, respected, and sexy network of websites in the world.
?Kim Nielsen embodies the spirit of a true pioneer,? said XBIZ founder and president Alec Helmy. ?His unique entrepreneurial vision, astute business acumen and flair for unparalleled niche-oriented content services have positioned ATKingdom as one of the most influential brands of our time. It is with great pleasure that we recognize Kim?s outstanding contributions and achievements throughout his exceptional career.?
2012 looks to be a big year for Nielsen and his companies. Principal photography recently wrapped on ?Revenge of the Petites,? from Nielsen?s new adult feature film studio, AMKingdom.com.
Written and directed by Harry Sparks, ?Revenge of the Petites? will be one of the largest adult releases in 2012. The nine-day shoot included a cast of 22 adult performers, 30 extras, and 25 crew members. ?Revenge of the Petites? notably redefines adult entertainment as the first feature to merge niche markets like petites, hairy and exotic with traditional adult elements.

Nielsen states, ?I am extremely appreciative of the recognition from XBIZ. We?ve managed to achieve great success in the adult arena because we apply marketing science principles to what we do and focus entirely on consumers. We remain profitable, while promoting positive depictions of sexuality and avoiding unscrupulous business practices.

Something ain't quite right...
Hope ATK gets squared away and everyone eventually gets paid.
