“One of Silicon Valley’s Most Powerful Women” (Forbes Magazine),

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

CNN Health International…kf!g maximized every media
opportunity.

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

a CD in Nashville and hired kf!g to launch it.

18. 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.

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

24. 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!
