Khubani's first order of business in his new role, is to bring his expertise in direct response television to the group, in order to launch a broadcast campaign to raise awareness and financial support for the good work the organizations does.

"I am honored to be involved with an organization that builds up the lives of children and adults who have intellectual and developmental disabilities and are often overlooked," said Khubani.  "I am looking forward to working with The Arc and the other board members to bring more awareness to our cause through advocacy and education through mainstream channels."

AJ brings a wealth of knowledge in business and marketing which is of great benefit to the organization," said President and CEO of The Arc of Bergen Passaic Counties Kathy Walsh.  "We look forward to working with him on a number of exciting projects."

Founded in 1983 by AJ Khubani, TeleBrands has grown into an award-winning global empire and a leader in the "As Seen on TV" industry. Though once exclusively sold through direct response television marketing (DRTV), Khubani realized the true potential of bringing infomercial products to retail. In 1987, TeleBrands was the first DRTV company to expand into brick and mortar locations beginning with AmberVision Glasses. Khubani designed the iconic red "As Seen on TV" logo which has been a defining characteristic of the industry and has revolutionized the category in the retail sector. TeleBrands has launched more innovations than any other marketer in history, selling hundreds of millions of "As Seen on TV" brands including Star Shower, Colorama Coloring Books, PedEgg, Pocket Hose and many more. TeleBrands Press was successfully introduced in 2012 with several titles including "Dump Cakes," with over 2-million sold.  TeleBrands' products are sold through major retail chains worldwide in over 120 different countries.
