About Us

Brad Kauffman, CEO of Original Social MediaBrad Kauffman is the founder of Original Social Media, a brand management and social media marketing agency based in Hermosa Beach, CA.   A “super-connector” with thousands of Facebook Fans and a LinkedIn network of over 4 million people, Brad understands how to engage people online and off.

His social media successes are grounded in his belief that the entire world will soon operate like the small town he grew up in, a place where business success depended on being transparent, caring, and original.

Thanks to online social networks, the entire world is becoming a small town, and Brad’s unique perspective and skillset have become incredibly valuable.

Brad loves helping small local businesses but has the expertise to help large companies as well (he’s worked for Toyota/Lexus, Petsmart, and consulted to other large brands).  He’s earned an MBA in brand management and entrepreneurship from one of the nation’s premiere business schools, and combined those skills with a national-award-winning background in journalism, sales and internet marketing.

His thirst for knowledge and innovation has continued into four areas that will soon be vital to all businesses:

  • mobile marketing (local search & applications)
  • search engine marketing (Google SEO)
  • social media marketing (especially Facebook, Youtube, LBS)
  • community management (especially WordPress blogs and Facebook)

Brad recently created the Find Pet Friendly Hotels iPhone application, and an example of what Brad could do for your business can be seen by visiting the social media communities he’s built and maintained on:
