Paul Bzeta is a successful entrepreneur who currently splits his time between New York City and Calgary. The oldest of 3 children, Bzeta grew up in an entrepreneurial family where work ethic was served at the dinner table every night. So it wasn’t a surprise to anyone that after graduating college and spending 12 years working in television news (Global Television, CTV Television and CBC Television) that he struck out on his first entrepreneurial venture. In 1994, Bzeta became a partner in a software startup focusing on solving the pain of managing large advertising campaigns. In 1999, Bzeta co-founded Jet Stream Digital Media, named as one of Alberta’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2001 and 2002 by Alberta Venture Magazine. Bzeta was named to Calgary’s Top 40 under 40 in 2002. During this period, Bzeta founded or co-founded several other companies in video production (Zoom), outdoor advertising (Splash Boards) and e-Learning (ClearEngine). The call of television briefly returned when he was recruited by Corus Entertainment, Canada’s largest media firm. Bzeta and his executive team led a successful and aggressive production, video on demand, digital signage and broadband practice. With full ownership of P&L, Bzeta also successfully wrote and executed an application for a new television broadcasting license - currently before the CRTC. When Corus moved its head office in 2005 to a beautiful new building in Toronto (and with baby number 3 on the way), Paul elected leave Corus and launch another business in the world of digital media. Kicker was launched (as he describes it “in my basement in t-shirt and shorts”) as a film and video production company. Today, with offices in New York and Calgary, global brands like Novartis Pharmaceuticals, SiriusXM, Exxon, Nike, Walmart and hundreds of other fast growing firms across North America trust Bzeta’s expert counsel in video marketing and production, virtual reality and interactive video.

Bzeta is a dedicated family man, a frequent traveller, public speaker, hockey lover and when time permits - a very average golfer.
