Happy Independence Day, My Fellow Americans!

I know I’ve neglected this blog for awhile, blame it on an Attention Economy Crash, but with this Independence Day…You’ll start to see this blog picking up speed and becoming insightful (I hope!) once again.

Cheers!

I’ve been busy at ad:tech San Francisco last week, covering sessions for AdTechBlog.com. A great, but slightly taxing experience to write for all of the assigned sessions. I look forward to having the opportunity to do it again next year.

Here’s some of my witting that has been published so far over at the ad:tech blog:

• Mobile Advertising: Does Adidas Show it’s Already Here?
  Showcasing case studies from Transformers, Verizon and a particularly great case study on Adidas’ “Basketball is a Brotherhood” campaign and how mobile helped Adidas’ NBA stars like T-Mac connect with people at a personal level. This was one of my favorite sessions.
• The Modern Agency: We’re Still Trying to Find One
  We’ve been debating the “Modern Agency” for some time. This session, with panelists from Carat to AKQA, shows we know we need a Modern Agency, but it is apparent we still have trouble understanding exactly what that is.
• A Socratic Dialog on Media and Entertainment
  Discussion with people from Martha Stewart Digital, Ogilvy West, CNet and a former Walmart exec on the fracturing of media – from Hulu to Video-on-Demand to podcasting – and how to formulate the right mix of media for your audience.

If anyone has feedback on the articles, please comment on the appropriate page above at AdTechBlog.com.

To everyone that has been twittering and commenting to my articles here at Emergence-Media, thank you for all of your feedback. I’ll be sure to respond to all of them this week. This week is Web 2.0 Expo week, but I’m still feeling exhausted from last week’s ad:tech madness.

Hello All,

We’re two weeks away from ad:tech San Francisco on April 15-17! I’ll be working with Steve Hall of Adrants and other cool bloggers to cover ad:tech for AdTechBlog.com. I can’t confirm what sessions I’ll be covering yet, but it will be fun.

If you’ll be at ad:tech San Francisco, feel free to drop a comment below, an email or call me at (415)-683-3656. I’ll be twittering the event at twitter.com/danielriveong. Let me know what happening parties will be around or just ping me to grab a drink and exchange war stories.

And thanks to Ariel Waldman of ShakeWellBeforeUse for the connection.

Cheers,

Daniel

I know I havn’t been active lately, but I’ll be at the Search Engine Strategy conference tomorrow for the whole period from Monday, August 20 to Thursday, August 23. It’ll be an extra busy week because I’ll be at Burning Man after that.

I’ll be blogging through the week so leave comments here if you’re at SES and want to go grab lunch, or if you have questions you’d like to ask those attending or presenting at SES.

Cheers!

Daniel

This terrible LOLNinja image is based on an image from bluman

e-Storm is hiring again! This time we’re looking for a Search Marketing expert to help work with the SEM Team on PPC strategy with our clients and helping the team implement the latest tactics.

You’d be working in our downtown San Francisco office, right near Union Square and the Chinatown Gates. We were one of the first agencies (that is still around) that tried out Overture (remember that?) and AdWords. We’re looking for someone who can push the envelope like the way we’ve always have.

Plus, you’d get to work with me (that’s always a plus) and the rest of the e-Storm SF crew, which includes a known local DJ to one of our AMs who has an impressive furby collection.

If you know anyone that would be interested in working with a kick-ass, business/marketing strategy-orientated, and open office environment, please let them know! Full details can be found at the following location:

• Craigslist San Francisco > Search Engine Marketing PPC Specialist

Feel free to email me directly.

As you’ve noticed, I haven’t been blogging for close to one month now. I’ve been extra busy with work, an actual social life (egad!) and the introduction of a new member into my family (my newborn nephew).

On the work side, e-Storm International has been busy with welcoming hires (we’re still hiring), some new clients and also working on our international travel client, Vayama.com, which has just launched. As part of the Vayama campaign, I’m helping lead the SEO and PPC campaigns with the rest of the SEM team.

Check out Vayama (see the excellent review at CNET Webware):

Will begin blogging in a day or two…

If any of you are curious why I havn’t blogged in 10 days, it is because I’ve been out sick with some sort of stomach flu (I think) for the past week. I think it has been going around my office. Well, it’s a new week and I’m back in action!

Indeed, I just made my first blog post below:
Social Media Marketing and the OMG-WTF Crowd

More to come!
Cheers,

Scott Beale’s Laughing Squid is a San Francisco Institute. Only Scott and his Laughing Squid team could put together a party that bring people normally found in Silicon Valley (including the Web 2.0 folks) and Burning Man and get them rocking in a carnival atmosphere until 3am in the morning.

This passing Saturday, November 18, was such a party at San Francisco’s Might in honor of Laughing Squid’s 11th Anniversary. With steam engines, burlesque shows, a psychedelic buddha – this is not your regular party. From the usual famous web 2.0 crew to Burners in full costume, everyone was there. Can’t wait for next year.

See more below…

My colleague and I are going to be driving down from San Francisco to San Jose for SES 2006. We’ll be very busy, but if anyone is interested in trying to meet up…let me know!

And course, feel free to invite us to your smashing SES parties! Wooty, woot!

I’ve been riding the wacky Internet rollercoaster since 1997. That was back in the days when PointCast was hailed by Wired Magazine,”Kiss your browser goodbye: The radical future of media beyond the Web“, and “The Spot” was a “hip” online TV series before its time.

And now I’m finally dipping into the Blogosphere (a little late I know), marking my own little corner on the Internet.

What is Emergence Media About

Emergence Media seeks to focus on the evolving PR and Marketing Landscape as it pertains to the ever changing Internet. However, with my experience and career in SEO and Analytics, my articles will probably be biased towards these areas.

The name “Emergence Media” is an acknowledgement of:

1. The unfolding nature of the Internet as a meta “media platform”, from the days when “Content is King” to the current era of “Social Media” and “Conversational Marketing” and beyond.
2. The emergence of a new form of “customer relationship activity” brought on by the blurring of PR and marketing – at least online.
3. The fact that the World Wide Web (what most people take as being the entire Internet) is a system manifesting “emergent properties“.

An Open Policy

I am open to experienced professionals in the Internet-space, especially marketing and PR, to guest blog on this site. Some of us may have great ideas, want to push them out, but may not have the time to start a blog. I hope Emergence Media can help be an available medium for such folks.
