Heidi Roizen Program
Recommended by an advertising agency to Heidi Roizen,
“One of Silicon Valley’s Most Powerful Women” (Forbes Magazine),
kf!g was retained to launch her new CD called “Skinny Songs.”
Heidi, provided a wealth of material for kf!g. An acclaimed
serial entrepreneur, corporate executive, venture capitalist
and faculty member of Stanford University, she is famous
for her intuitive understanding of market opportunities.
While a student at Stanford in the late 80s she founded
T/Maker, which developed the popular image content
software ClickArt™.
After selling her company in 1986, Heidi became Vice-President
of World Wide Developer Relations for Apple Computer. Later
she served as the Managing Director of Mobius Venture Capital,
a technology venture fund with $2 billion under management.
She is currently a Venture Partner of the prestigious venture capital
firm,
Draper, Fisher and Jurvetson(DFJ). In addition she serves on numerous
Boards including TIVO.

kf!g developed a strategic program which addressed women,
weight loss and the business media. It was our story telling of
Heidi’s incredible talent and vision and ultimate weight loss
through exercising to her own music, which resulted in high
profile interviews from Kara Swisher’s All Things Digital to
Fox Business with Neil Cavuto, Martha Stewart to Oprah
Magazine, Bloomberg to the New York Times to
CNN Health International…kf!g maximized every media
opportunity.

Martha Stewart and Heidi Roizen

Besides all of these accomplishments, she loved music. Wanting to lose
weight she searched for music to get her“pumped”for exercising.
Unable to find this type of music, she decided to develop her own lyrics
and tempos to inspire women to have fun exercising. She later produced
a CD in Nashville and hired kf!g to launch it.

Space Hacker Workshop with Citizen’s in Science, kf!g worked
directly with XCOR, Made In Space, Citizen In Space, SETI,
Infinity Aerospace, along with researchers from the University
of Texas and the University of Central Florida. kf!g organized a
media campaign which achieved wide coverage such as Wired
Magazine, Space.com, Scientific American and The San Jose

Later , when SVSC co-sponsored a suborbital conference with
CASIS, we worked with Zero Gravity Solutions Inc., Infinity

Space Global, Made in Space and Possum to have a successful
event. NBC’s Tech Now, Bloomberg News, Bay Area News

Naveen Jain Program

Entrepreneur:

Recommended by several colleagues, kf!g was retained by the
Chief Marketing Officer of Intelius, Susan Koehler and founder
Naveen Jain to represent him and heighten public awareness

kf!g has worked to increase public and corporate awareness
of Naveen by placing him as a speaker and working with
conferences like the Aspen Brain Forum, the Pivot Conference,
SV Forum, the Economist Ideas Conference and Global Entrepreneur
Week. In addition, kf!g arranged bi-monthly salons for celebrated
Founders and CEOs to meet Naveen in a casual environment to share
ideas and create new ones. All along, kf!g had been positioning
Naveen Jain as a leading Entrepreneur and Innovator.

of his many interests: CEO and Founder of Intelius,
Chairman of Moon Express, X Prize, Co-Chairman of
Global Development and Education Trustee of Singularity
University and sponsor of Kairos Society and iCareweCare .
kf!g overall message would be that Naveen was an
Entrepreneur, Visionary and Philanthropist.
Visionary: Moon Express
kf!g positioned Naveen Jain, Chairman of Moon Express
(ME) , a Lunar Lander system/company, as a leading
contender for the $30M Google Lunar X PRIZE. To create massive media attention, we planned a spectacular
flight test event to occur on the same day when the final

U.S. Space Shuttle "Atlantis" landed. We crafted
story ideas to romance the subject of moon exploration...
the historic end of one era and the beginning of another
in commercial space exploration... the merits of mining
the moon for much needed resources, etc.
Through innovative story telling, an overwhelming number of press attended the Moon Express product launch,
which resulted in a front page story in the NewYorkTimes,
as well as being featured in Bloomberg,TheWall Street
Journal, CNET, BBC , Forbes, NBC, Los AngelesTimes,
BBC among others.

Philanthropist: Singularity University, X Prize and
iCareweCare.
Naveen Jain's many philanthropic interests needed to be acknowledged. For this to occur, kf!g created unique campaigns around
each organization.
We promoted Naveen's appointment as a Trustee of Singularity University and his awarding 2 scholarships to leading African women
for SU's graduate students program. As X Prize Co-Chair of Global
Development and Education, he spearheaded many ventures
to find solutions to agriculture, poverty, health and clean water.
We continued to work on major launches in these areas. After sponsoring iCareweCare, a student run social network, he had kf!g create a
media launch which we held at the Disney Museum in San Francisco.

Together with conferences and speaking engagements, we have
communicated his philanthropic efforts from Silicon Valley to
Mumbai .

Next, we alerted the public to the opportunity to clone one’s dog
for at least $150,000 and announced the auction date. By the time
the auction took place, press coverage caused all cloning slots to sell.
We then developed a new promotion to prolong the press frenzy.
James Symington and Trakr at Twin Towers

Touched by the number of letters from dog owners who did
not have the financial means to participate, kf!g developed a
once-in-a-lifetime "Golden Clone Giveaway.” This contest offered
one additional dog cloning slot to the person who wrote the
most “clone worthy” essay, explaining why their dog deserved
to be cloned. Although many of the entries were noteworthy,
it wasTrakr who stole the judge's hearts and won the contest.
Trakr, a German Shepherd police dog, along with Canadian
police officer James Symington, rushed to the scene of the 9/11
attacks on the day the Twin Towers collapsed.

As the first two-person submarine to fly like a jet underwater, kf!g
developed story lines around new modes of transportation, ecology,

reach speeds of up to eight knots and barrel-roll with the grace of a
dolphin. Even our invitation to the event was the drawing of the
Deep Flight Aviator, doodled on a napkin by legendary submersible craft engineer and inventor, Graham Hawkes.

Vidal Sassoon
Hair is basically brown, black, red, blonde, long, or short.
For Vidal Sassoon to continue to be in the forefront of the
public demand, kf!g created strategic marketing and
customer acquisition campaigns. For twenty years we
developed innovative programs that drove business.
In addition, during this body of work, kf!g served as
consultants to theVidal Sassoon management team on
two revisions of the corporate identity and the repositioning and design of the new product line.
How did we maintain a twenty-year client? By creating
hundreds of successful programs for VS that drove
customer acquisition from the first "ambush make-over" to
the first celebrity stories of “getting ready for the Oscars.”
The following is an example of one program:
The Vidal Sassoon brand was stagnating and losing
its luster. Our job was to refresh the brand as part of
the “Now Generation.” To that end we approached MGM
to secure a partnership for their launch of Legally Blonde.
In keeping with the playfulness of the movie, we worked
with MGM to establish “National Blonde Day” to coincide with their launch date.

Vidal Sassoon and major media

We created artwork and content for the National
Blonde Day website. To “Stand Up to Blonde Oppression,” we had Vidal Sassoon Salons take people blonde
that day, for free. We then established partnerships
to promote national platforms and increase visibility
in 12 major markets. We initiated a media campaign,
which resulted in significant international media.The
result… kf!g increased business for theVidal Sassoon
Salons by 11% over a three-month campaign. Our
campaign was highly successful and we did a
repeat performance with MGM for Legally Blonde 2.
Over 21 years representing Sassoon...BILLIONS!

what they say about us....
“When Peter Laanen recommended Mikey

and Ed to launch the Groasis Waterboxx, it was
the best tip I ever received. They did more than
agreed upon, always looking out for my best
interests. We have had millions of media placement around the world and they have created
partnerships with everyone we needed for the
right kind of exposure… from the National Park
Service to the Bureau of Land Management to
Robert Mondavi Winery and UC Davis.”

“Mikey has been doing public relations for
me and is superlative. She is aggressive as a
person in this role needs to be, yet is never over the line,
