ZKid Names Mike DeMaio to be Head of Advertising and Creative Marketing CHICAGO, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- ZKid Network Co. (OTC:ZKID) (BULLETIN BOARD: ZKID) names Mike DeMaio to be head of advertising and creative marketing. Mr. DeMaio has been a major force in the advertising business for twenty-five years. He has consistently championed innovation and creativity as the keys to successful marketing. Most recently, he oversaw the restructuring and sale of Burrell Communications to Publicis Groupe, the Paris-based holding company. From February 2000-July 2004, Mr. DeMaio repositioned Burrell from a middle of the road advertising company to a multifaceted marketing and strategy thinktank. His new aggressiveness brought new business from Toyota, General Mills, Adidas, Fruitopia, Verizon, Hewlett Packard and McNeil. In the process, Burrell's profitability leaped over the next four years from 449,000 in 1999 to 3.7 million by the end of 2003. Prior to Burrell, Mike was best known as the President of Eisaman John's & Laws (EJ&L), widely considered Chicago's most creative and high profile agency. In it's 15-year run, EJL produced many of Chicago's most memorable campaigns with Michael Jordan for Chevrolet, WLUP, Motorola, Neutrogena, and many others. EJL was featured in the Chicago Tribune, Crain's Chicago Business, and Backstage Magazine as the Midwest's top creative shop. Mike was named Adweek's Creative All-Stars 5 times and featured in AdAge's 40 under 40. Mike graduated from Yale University and is a licensed attorney. Mr. DeMaio said, "I'm thrilled to be a member of the ZKid team. I strongly believe that ZKid Network Co. is a great value added product in the exciting arena of cause related marketing. I believe that I can catalyze ZKid Network's mission of safe internet for children in this dynamic arena." Donald Weisberg said, "It is a coup for ZKid Network Co. to have someone like Mike DeMaio to join ZKid Network Co. His creativity and ideas will position ZKid Network Co. to look outside 'the box' not only as a media content company, but also a company which promotes aggressive and innovative marketing strategies. Mr. DeMaio will be immediately thrown into the fray as he will be involved in new negotiations next week."
