Here I am in discussion with Glen Frost about the Burson-Marsteller offer in Asia-Pacific. This interview was shot May 26th in Sydney.

This is the first of many videos I have with my friend and mentor. This one shows me thanking him for his address to the staff of Edelman Korea (I had recently been appointed the Managing Director), followed by Richard saying some candid and very true things about the dynamic of the agency business. He mentioned my new office's revenue of...

Recently I sat down with Jeff Ansell - one of my great PR mentors going back to Hill & Knowlton days in the early 1990s - to discuss modern communications trends and reflect upon some of my experiences over the years in North America and North Asia. I also spoke about the public trust of the communications professional, and the difference...

SBS television in Korea interviewed me a few years ago concerning productivity; in a business where our product is time financed by clients to achieve their communications objectives, PR professionals must optimize the value of their time through continuous education and commitment to excellence.

Sometimes PR people can act like doctors who make bad patients when it comes to doing their own media interviews. Therefore, I've always been pretty determined to avoid hypocrisy when I advise clients to prepare messages and do a dry-run interview Q&A beforehand by always doing the same myself. This is a very informal rehearsal tape for a...

Here's some footage (converted from VHS) of an Edelman event organized at the American Chamber of Commerce in Korea during November 2002 to launch 'The New Edelman Korea.' The format of this video is almost like that of a wedding video, which is appropriate given that I met my future spouse at this event for the very first time.

Here in a recent interview with Jeff Ansell, I talk about PR's 'junior' role in the global financial crisis, the need for a more intelligent c-suite optimized consulting, and how changes in the modern media are shaping the future of marketing and communications.

Among my duties as the North Asia president of Edelman was the hosting of Richard Edelman on his annual visits to Tokyo and Seoul and this involved numerous public platform introductions, including this one to the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan during November of 2006. Our global CEO's visits were a key factor in the explosive 11-f...
