liveBooks Founder Michael Costuros Launches Business Consulting Firm Serving Entrepreneurs in the Photographic Industry

Industry Veteran Will Work With Owners to Help Their Businesses Thrive


SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - July 21, 2010) -  liveBooks, Inc. founder Michael Costuros today announced the formation of evolutionStudio Inc., a business consulting and coaching firm supporting entrepreneurial photographers to succeed in their business ventures.

"In the last few years numerous photographers have been inspired to start ventures outside the typical photo studio business model, but many of them are facing critical issues challenging the success of their businesses," said Costuros. "Through evolutionStudio, I am using the experience I've gained helping liveBooks evolve and grow steadily over the last seven years to help these entrepreneurial businesses achieve their full potential."

Still dedicated to the continued success of his first company, liveBooks, a leading provider of websites for creative professionals, Costuros remains involved in the business through his role as board chairman and major shareholder.

"Michael has been a huge contributor to this company over the years and, with his passion and knowledge, there's no doubt that he will be a great asset to other businesses as a consultant," said liveBooks President and CEO Andy Patrick. "We will continue to benefit from Michael's strategic insight at the board level."

Since he founded liveBooks in 2004, Costuros has held many key roles as a member of the leadership team that has grown the company to become a leading brand with multiple investors, 50 employees split between offices in the US and EU, and more than 10,000 clients.

Today, evolutionStudio offers two services: a unique month-to-month consulting/coaching combo program, and website consultations designed to make client websites more effective at getting both the right quality and quantity of business they desire. More services will be offered later in the year.

"I believe that the services I offer are totally unique in both structure and method, which is why I am able to deliver tangible value quickly, and don't require a multi-month commitment," says Costuros. "Every evolutionStudio client engagement is as unique as the clients themselves. For some, I help resolve relationship issues with partners, investors, vendors or employees. For others, I work with them to achieve challenging revenue goals or find the best strategy to take their businesses to the next level. The constant elements are close collaboration, my total commitment to the client's success and complete confidentiality."
