Interviews with Digital Media Thought Leaders

Testimonials

While I retired several years ago, I continue to follow Phil’s analysis of technology trends and the companies that are making them happen. He is at the intersection of technology and society. Most technologists have difficulties understanding how their work fits into a bigger picture. And, most people outside the technology activity don’t understand it. Phil brings those two together. And does a good job at it.

I have been following Phil’s insightful research on digital media since he was one of the first Internet stock analysts on Wall Street in the nineties. I know when I read Phil’s work that I am going to come away with actionable insights and think about the digital future in a new way. Time and again, I have watched him correctly predict paradigm shifts within media and associated industries. When he hones in on a new theme, I listen. His research is captivating and ambitious, but doesn’t get lost in the clouds. He certainly hasn’t lost his touch!

“Even after years of experience, Phil seems to have an insatiable appetite for learning, and the insights he gleans often prove to be prescient.  He has a remarkable way of distilling the practical from the theoretical and conveying this to his audience.  The digital media landscape is shifting rapidly, and I value his perspective on new companies and potential trends to inform my own points of view on this industry.”

“It’s easy for people to simply report on what is happening in the digital space.  I get dozens of email newsletters like that every day.  But, Phil, has a unique talent that allows him scan the digital landscape, consider the developments in context, and point out the implications for the future.  Information is cheap and plentiful these days, but critical thinking and wisdom about the fundamental shifts taking place in our lives as a result of the rapid development of digital  are hard to come by.”
