About Me & Flagged For Follow Up

Ian Sohn | About Me

My name is Ian Sohn. I have more than a decade of global strategic marketing, new media, strategic alliances, business development and public relations experience with some of the world's most valued brands like Nokia, Sony Music, Mattel, Universal Pictures and more.

I'm currently a senior vice president of consumer marketing and a strategist with the 360° Digital Influence Group at Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide. 

I'm now based in Chicago [my hometown] after spending the previous 10 years in New York.  I have a 2 year old son, Henry, and wife, Sophie.  That's our 2008 holiday card:

I holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and an MBA from New York University.

In addition to Flagged For Follow Up, I contribute to  the Ogilvy PR 360° Digital Influence blog and the Ogilvy PR Travel & Tourism blog.

Finally [and sadly] I remain a committed Bears and Cubs fan - and will be raising my son to do the same.

What Flagged For Follow Up is All About

While I enjoy blogs that are focused on one topic, I also enjoy those that meander a bit.  I shall meander ... if only slightly.  On any given day I might post about music, media, PR, advertising, technology, [here's where we get a bit off-topic] my family and the Chicago Cubs.

This blog is not a bully pulpit from which I will be quick to criticize.  But I will constructively criticize on occasion, and will certainly add my opinion when warranted.

My intention from day one was to point out people, places, things and ideas that strike my fancy for one reason or another. Those things that I've "Flagged for Follow Up" and want to share with others.

If there's anything you want me to post or have any questions, drop me an email ian[dot]sohn2[at]yahoo[dot]com or leave a comment.
