About Ashmi Elizabeth Dang
I am an award-winning digital marketer, specializing in entertainment, where I’ve worked in the digital space for 10 years.
Throughout my career, I’ve sought ‘what’s next’ as the core of my work and held creative roles at top companies including HBO, Capitol Records, Warner Music Group, and Interscope Label Group.
Fascinated by all that technology has to offer, I love exploring the changing ways people communicate, trying out emerging platforms that support that evolution, and looking for ways to develop engaging experiences connecting entertainment, digital media, advertising and marketing strategies.
In 2002, I started writing online before launching my own website, Screen*Play (2005-2007). It began as a site about pop culture from an industry insider, but slowly grew into what is my area of expertise – the intersection of entertainment, new media and technology.
BY:AD is the hub of all that – the cumulative efforts of my activities as a digital strategist, new media & technology enthusiast, and fan of pop culture.
Thanks for visiting BY:AD…Enjoy!
