Experienced High-Technology Leader Takes the Helm
BOCA RATON, Fla.--(Business Wire)--
Kahzam (OTCBB: KHZM) - an emerging leader in the fast-growing comprehensive
web-based platform developer for associations and affinity groups market - has
named J. Franklin Bradley as President and Chief Operating Officer of the
company. Bradley has more than 35 years of pioneering experience in breaking new
ground and launching new companies, both domestically and internationally in
both high-tech and healthcare fields. In addition, he is intimately attuned to
the association and affinity group markets, which are core targets for Kahzam.
Under Bradley`s day-to-day operational direction, Kahzam is building a
comprehensive platform of next-generation online search and portal services,
targeted for the $30 billion dollar Association and Affinity Group market. The
Kahzam platform features fully integrated multimedia content, social networking,
e-commerce and advertising that can be customized to meet the diverse needs of
individual Associations, Affinity Groups and other similar organizations, as
well as their millions of individual members. By doing so, Kahzam will meet
associations` greatest two needs - enhancing member services without raising
dues, and generating additional revenue, again without raising dues.
To accomplish this market penetration, Kahzam has developed a portal-based
next-generation search engine, which is the core of a package of web-based
Social Networking and Portal services Kahzam is offering to business and trade
associations, not-for-profit foundations, social and charitable non-profits and
other groups dependent on the continued support and goodwill of members or
close-knit networks of donors.
Following two combat tours with the US Navy Seabees and a variety of positions
with television stations, printers and an internal advertising agency, Bradley
launched the first hospital Public Relations program for industry giant Hospital
Corporation of America. Proving the concept, Bradley became the firm`s chief PR
trouble-shooter before being brought in-house as Vice President to create for
HCA the industry`s first in-house Public Relations and Marketing Communications
department. In this role, Bradley began effectively using high-technology to
expand HCA`s reach in marketplaces across America and around the world.
In addition to pioneering a unified public relations program for America`s most
successful for-profit hospital company, Bradley also worked closely with several
hospital trade associations, including the American Hospital Association and the
Federation of American Hospitals.
Bradley left HCA in 1984 to create two full-service ad/marketing companies -
Notch/Bradley and Lindsey Bradley & Maloy (LB&M). Notch/Bradley was the first
healthcare-only ad/marketing agency in America, and - for nearly two decades -
was the most successful healthcare-only agency as well, serving more than 250
hospitals, hospital companies, trade associations and healthcare providers. LB&M
focused on high-tech markets - serving the emerging decentralized telephone
providers, Cellular and Silicon Valley hardware and software developer
marketplaces, as well as the new market of Internet-based corporate clients.
LB&M specialized in serving start-up client companies and launching new
high-tech clients.
Notch/Bradley evolved into - and was ultimately spun off as - the marketing arm
of an international hospital company based in London and Dubai; while LB&M
became LBK Holdings, a firm specializing in branding and strategic planning for
start-up high technology companies, with Bradley serving as managing general
partner. One of LBK`s clients was Kahzam - a subsidiary of groupmolinari of Boca
Raton, Florida - and CEO Stephen Molinari was so impressed with LBK Holdings
that he, in essence, bought the company and put Bradley in charge of executing
on LBK`s strategic repositioning recommendations for Kahzam, and to take Kahzam
public - which he did earlier this summer.
Under Bradley`s direction, Kahzam is currently beta-piloting its proprietary
portal, search engine and closed-panel Social Networking services in final
preparation for a formal program launch early in 2010.
