My research, writing, and speaking

Below are research reports and presentations from so far in my career. I also contributed to Don Tapscott’s books Macrowikinomics and Grown Up Digital, as well as Mike Dover & Sean Moffit’s Wikibrands. I’m currently co-writing Stop Wasting Money on Advertising with Paul Barter.
