Former DaimlerChrysler Diversity PR Expert, Alan E. Miller, Starts All-New Multi-Ethnic Agency

    DETROIT - DaimlerChrysler Corporation's Manager of Corporate Diversity 
Public Relations, Alan E. Miller, resigned recently to be the Chief Executive 
Officer and President of A. Miller Group, Inc.

    The Sterling Heights-based company will be a First-Tier supplier to
DaimlerChrysler and provide principal public relations strategy for the fall
launch of a New York based Internet company for women of color.  Financial
terms of the relationships weren't disclosed.

    The only agency of its kind with a focus on the multi-ethnic consumer
market, the A. Miller Group will develop and implement proactive programs and
events that support its clients' marketing and public relations objectives and
commitment to influencing the increasing people of color consumer base.

    "Multi-ethnic consumers have worked very hard to establish their
$1.4 trillion purchasing power and they're becoming very selective, forcing
corporations to make a concerted effort to develop programs of respect that
capture and retain their business," said Alan E. Miller, CEO-President of
A. Miller Group, Inc.  "We have the expertise and connections to successfully
develop and implement aggressive, proactive projects in cities that our
clients emphasize as strategic marketing objectives."

    The A. Miller Group is a multi-ethnic public relations and events planning
company specializing in media strategy and public relations, supplier
relations and effective community relations/public affairs programs.  The
group includes an African American Public Relations Alliance, Asian American
Public Relations agency, Native American and Hispanic journalists and Arab
American Association.

    The A. Miller Group is the brainchild of Alan Miller.  The company is
located at 36760 Metro Court in Sterling Heights, Mich.

    Miller is noted for developing partnerships and fostering strong working
relationships with multi-ethnic organizations and journalists of color.  He
started the agency because the diverse media and public relations/events
market is not being served by any general market, African-American, Hispanic,
Asian, Arab or Native American public relations or all-inclusive events
company capable of planning and implementing niche market programs that would
adequately reach and influence people of color consumers.

    Miller, who had 15 years of service at DaimlerChrysler, planned and
coordinated many of the company's assembly plant roll-offs during 1988-1993.
He created and developed the automotive industry's first Diversity Public
Relations Manager's position in 1997 and the company's multicultural ride and
drive events.  Miller, also a Michigan poet and playwright, created the
company's award winning "Spirit in the Words" poetry program in 1994 and
received Poets&Writers Inc's "President's Citation" in December 1999.  He
developed and coordinated numerous high image events including "Unity '99:
Journalists of Color" Convention in Seattle, Wash., national tour of "The
Invisible Made Visible: Angels from the Vatican," Charles H. Wright Museum of
African American History opening, and General Colin Powell -- Baltimore's
Blacks in Wax Museum event.  He also planned and implemented Chrysler's first
diversity marketing/public relations event for the national PBS documentary
"Hoop Dreams" that included a community based education outreach program
called "The Chrysler Hoop Dreams Challenge" for diverse youth residing in 23
major urban areas.
