Hi, I'm Ari, and I am the author/moderator of the New Mediaist.

About this blog
The purpose of this blog is not to try and sell you something, or generate wealth for me (that’s why there are no advertisements!). This blog was originally created as a method to keep in contact with my friends post-graduation, as many of them are now scattered around the world. A few of my posts were soon being passed around the blogosphere, and new friends - ones I didn't know in real life - started to read my blog. Hence, the New Mediaist was born.

About the author

My formal education is in business management. I have been active on the Internet since 1990, and involved in online development and marketing since 1996. Although I used to code & design sites regularly, today I focus mainly on strategy development and project management. I am a Google Advertising professional, and have managed keyword portfolios of 40,000+ terms. In addition to consulting for others, I've operated dozens of websites personally, the most popular of which received over 20,000 unique viewers per day.
I am currently employed in Internet Marketing in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In my spare time I make films, eat, sleep, and skip over commercials on my homemade PVR.
