Omni-Net.com Names Richy Glassberg President & CEO

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 19, 1999--

Highly Regarded Internet Industry Executive Given Mandate To Build Online Interactive Marketing and Ad Rep Firm From The Ground Up

Omni-Net.com, a subsidiary of Enhanced Services Company, Inc. (OTC: "ESVS") and an affiliate of Zulu-tek, Inc. (OTCBB: "ZULUD") and BrandsforLess.com, announced today that Internet industry veteran Richy Glassberg will join Omni-Net.com as its President and CEO, effective immediately.

Mr. Glassberg was senior vice president and general manager of Turner Interactive Sales, a division of Turner Broadcasting Sales Inc., where he headed up all online activities for CNN.com, CNNSI.com, CNNFN.com CartoonNetwork.com and WCW.com.

"Glassberg's appointment as president and CEO is a significant step in building an effective team of experienced professionals who will run and grow the client base of Omni-net.com and signals the online advertising industry that we are committed to creating a sizable online advertising and marketing sales rep firm," noted Robert Chmiel, chief operating officer of Enhanced Services. Chmiel added that although online the advertising industry continues to grow at record pace, the advertising and promotional service for many content sites is underdeveloped and in some cases entirely unexploited, which creates a significant opportunity for Omni-net to build an environment. "Richy is among those executives who early on saw the potential of the Internet as a major major growth medium for advertising and commerce," added Chmiel.

Mr. Glassberg will be based in the company's New York headquarters and will expand its sales offices and increase hiring of staff in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

"The industry has grown to the point that now is the perfect time for a multimedia ad rep firm like Omni-net.com to become a major player in the online world," said Mr. Glassberg. "There now exists a critical mass of talented people who have grown up in the business and know how to capitalize on the existing and future opportunities that the online medium offers. By starting this business under the Omni-net umbrella and creating an encompassing network of sites, the efficiencies exist for branding and marketing campaigns as well as for creating targeted ad buys. This is an exciting time for me to help build a company from the ground up."

Mr. Glassberg is a founding member of the Internet Advertising Bureau and serves on the IAB Board of Directors as vice chairman and treasurer. He joined Turner Broadcasting Sales in 1990 as an account executive for TBS Superstation and TBS. In 1993, he relocated to Los Angeles to manage the ad sales offices for the two networks. In 1995 he returned to New York as senior account executive for CNN and Headline News and was instrumental in the creation of Turner Interactive Sales. Prior to joining Turner, he was in ad sales for MTV Networks.

He is also a member of the FAST Forward Steering Committee; a broad-based Internet industry coalition dedicated to accelerating the development and use of digital advertising. Additionally, Mr. Glassberg serves as vice chairman of the Interactive Media Liaison Committee for ABC Interactive, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
