About Me

Hi there!

I'm Faris.

I'm a strategist and a geek.

I used work at Naked Communications.

I'm now the EVP Chief Technology Strategist at McCann Erickson New York.

I'm trying to work out how we communicate in a networked world, how we can make people happy, how we can make awesome stuff that is useful or entertaining or both.

Sometimes I talk about technology and communication at conferences.

I have written about brands, media, communications, technology and that for:

The Financial Times, Maxim Magazine, Mediaweek, Contagious Magazine, Front Magazine and Knowledge Magazine (UK)

Media Magazine (USA)

and

AdNews (AUS).

I also write this blog. I hope you enjoy it.
