Chris Brady has held prestigious positions in the television industry for more than twenty years and has been a driving force behind the development of internet based applications in the business world.  In this regard, he currently runs z-mation LLC, an online consortium of web animators, gamers, and consultants and has created the popular z-mation.com and pfrag.com websites. He is a partner in Liquidus TV, which has developed several ground-breaking integrated systems which allow customers to create and propagate video on demand programming and advertising directly off their desktop computers.

Before joining Liquidus TV he was one of the founding partners of Sverdlik Brady LLC, a media consulting and sales representative firm. Along with his partner Roger Sverdlik, a veteran network and cable television executive, Mr. Brady created a dynamic new market for unwired cable advertising and built the business model for advertiser supported programming ventures for the Gannett Corporation (USA Today) and several smaller independent producers.

Prior to that he was Vice President of Advertising Sales for Telamerica Media Inc. where he oversaw the company’s New York sales office and its transition from the direct response arena to major national brand advertisers. Previously, he held sales and sales management positions at News Corporation, starting as an Account Executive during the historic launch of the Fox Broadcasting Network in 1985.  Mr. Brady then played an instrumental role in the creation and development of widely respected ad sales operations for News Corporation’s launches of two major cable networks, serving as Vice President of Sales for the FX Network in 1995 and as Senior Sales Executive during the start up of the Fox News Channel in 1996.  
 
In 1998, Mr. Brady founded Media Partnerships, Inc. a software company funded by private capital that was one of the first organizations to design and build web-based software solutions enabling media suppliers to sell their advertising time to agencies utilizing a fully integrated electronic platform. Mr. Brady began his career in the television station business, holding sales and sales management positions at WTTE-TV in Columbus, OH, KLJB-TV in Davenport, IA, and Telerep in New York.
 
Mr. Brady is married to Elizabeth Herbst, the SVP Media Director of the Broadcast Investment Group at Starcom Worldwide. They live in Chicago with their seven year old twins, Maggie and Patrick.
