Kahzam (OTCBB: KHZM) – an emerging leader in the fast-growing web-based platform developer market for associations and affinity groups – has named Jim Lindsey as Vice Chairman and Chief New Business Officer of the company. Jim Lindsey has more than thirty years of managerial, creative, and account supervision experience with bottom line responsibilities for international, national, and regional advertising agencies including McCaffrey & McCall, Lindsey Bradley & Maloy, Hill Holiday, and Fairfax/Saatchi & Saatchi and Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide, where he served as Vice Chairman.

Working closely with Lindsey’s new-business development efforts, 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 under Lindsey’s leadership, 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.

Lindsey built a career in the advertising field that made use of his incredible interpersonal skills to build books of business for some of the leading firms in the industry. As Vice Chairman of Saatchi & Saatchi Worldwide, Lindsey significantly influenced and directed corporate development, specializing in West Coast and Pacific Rim clients. He also served as Executive Vice President of Hill, Holliday and Wakeman & DeForrest’s West Coast operations.

In addition, he has been responsible for national and international agency operations involving business development, marketing, advertising, and strategic planning for worldwide clients including MGM/Orion Films, Sears, Marriott Resorts, Mercedes Benz, DeBeers, Int., T. Rowe Price, Geneva Corporation, Infinity, MONEX plus Epson Computer and Printer Products. Other notable clients included Jenny Craig, Shaw Industries, White Westinghouse, PacTel Communications, Vartech, RCA, Sears, Mayflower, McDonalds, Carls Jr. and Falcon Jets.

His work with MGM/United Artists and Orion Films plus other independent producers includes movies such as Rain Man, The Big Easy, Betrayed, Stuntman, Dances With Wolves, Driving Miss Daisy, Porkeys I and II, Silence of the Lambs, Childs Play, Road House, Love at First Bite, three James Bond releases, The Witness and My Bodyguard. While Executive Producer of Metromedia Producers Group, he also created and produced primetime specials and network series releases.

Returning to his native South, Lindsey joined with Frank Bradley, Kahzam’s CEO and President, to create LB&M, a full-service agency specializing in high-tech and start-up businesses. In mid-decade, LB&M became LBK Holdings, a firm specializing in branding and strategic planning for start-up high technology companies, with Lindsey 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 Lindsey in charge of executing on LBK’s strategic business development recommendations for Kahzam, and to help take Kahzam public – which he did earlier this summer.

Lindsey has been honored with more than 50 Addy Awards, Clio Awards, and Golden Quill Awards. In addition, he has managed hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising contracts with advertisers around the world. These positive relationships are the foundation for Kahzam’s new business development needs.

With Lindsey’s market-driven input, 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.
