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.
