We’re here in Vegas at New Media Expo and having a great time. So far, we’ve interviewed Tim Bourquin, Founder of the Expo and Internet phenom Gary Vaynerchuk of Wine Library TV. Our photographer, Manuel Sanvictores, snapped this photo of our interview.
If you’re in Vegas, please reach out to either @groovemonkey or @americancliche to say hi.

Looking forward to all the great info and interviews coming from the show. Love to learn about what business models are being developed and used in new media. Especially in regards to creating relevance for advertising. New media is becoming very dynamic and liquid. Most web 1.0 ad targeting struggles with the new media dynamics. Also love to know how performance marketing fits in to the new media landscape.
