Hello,

Looking back on 2008, it has truly been an exceptional year. With the groundbreaking Presidential election on the national scene, new organizations, brands and opportunity are given birth. And some quite extraordinary experiences for us here at KCOMM. We'd like to share a few highlights.


Alternative Energy Event at UCLA

The spring 2008 KCOMM Signature Series event was entitled "2008 Clean Energy and Power Forum: The Next Generation of Clean Tech Solutions." It took place on Tuesday, April 29, in Tom Bradley International Hall at the University of California, Los Angeles. Hosted by KCOMM, the National Renewable Energy Lab, QuantumSphere, ROTH Capital Partners, UCLA and Y&M Partners, this extraordinary gathering was the largest KCOMM Signature Series event to date. The assembled group of experts and dignitaries included community, business and government leaders committed to addressing clean energy and power issues facing our world with a focus on near term business opportunities and commercialization of real solutions. Topics included advances in battery power and storage, fuel cell and hydrogen generation systems, solar power, and clean water.

International Trade Event

We were invited to join an exciting effort underway involving next generation business development on the international front. A special event held at Warner Brothers studios in Burbank featured the President and CEO of Warner Bros. The topic was an innovative trade program called the Enterprise Ireland project and the Warner Bros. role in contributing to the program's objective of accelerating the development of world-class Irish companies to achieve strong positions in global markets. Sinan Kanatsiz met with Her Excellency, Mary MacAleese, President of Ireland, as well as the Honorable Finbar Hill, Consulate General of Ireland. Other attendees included actor Colin Farrell and writer Ray Bradbury. Click here to watch video clip.

Looking Ahead: Multicultural Relations and Legal Services

At KCOMM, we have endeavored to create a unique set of strategic services designed to support our clients in innovative and original ways that move beyond the traditional marketing communications mix. As an extension of that commitment, we are adding expertise in two specific areas that will offer value to our clients. The first is an extension into multicultural and youth marketing services. The diversity of today's cultural environment and the need to maximize the potential of our youth have motivated us to focus on these two interrelated opportunities. The second service extension is a program to offer legal services to our clients, in particular as related to issues in business and marketing practices.

Celebrating 10 Years in Business

We would like to conclude this month by thanking our clients, our friends, our business associates, our families, and the many others who made it possible for us to celebrate our 10th year in business. Here's to a vibrant, happy, and productive year in 2009!



Sincerely,

Sinan Kanatsiz
Chairman / CEO
KCOMM
