December 14, 2009 by Elias Shams 2 Comments

Digital Media Wire will honor Rohit and 24 other executives to watch in Digital Entertainment at a reception for industry leaders and members of the press at the 3rd Annual Digital Media Insider @ CES at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas on January 8. I was told there will be a special guests too. The honorees will be profiled online and will be recognized in a special January feature on the DMWmedia website.

I met Rohit over a year ago during the Social Media Outlook event hosted by Washington based Potomac Tech Wire in Ritz Carlton, Tyson Corner. He is SVP, Digital Strategy & Marketing, Washington, DC based Ogilvy 360 Digital Influence. He is also Author of the book “Personality Not Included”. His book is really fun to read. It is about the secret how to make your company more authentic regardless of your position and the size of the company with tons of examples. You can buy his book on Amazon.

Thanks for this mention Elias! Good concept for the blog – I hope DC is about more than that too, so it’s great to see folks turning a spotlight on innovation and all the other things aside from politics that happen in this town.
