Gerd's background is in Music (he won the Quincy Jones Award in 1986 and is a graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music) as well in Technology, Communications and the Internet (formerly as CEO of LicenseMusic Inc, and currently as CEO of Sonific.com). Gerd's work focuses on the converging sectors of music / content, technology, communications and culture, and he is considered a leading expert on topics such as The Future of Media, Digital Marketing, Advertising, WebX.0, Social Networking, Online Communities and UGC (user generated content), Digital Copyright and the Digital Content Economy, Globalization and other Media Mega-Trends, Mobile Lifestyles and Mobile Entertainment, the Future of Advertising, Branding, Marketing and PR, and Digital Privacy and Intrusion.
Gerd's keynotes, talks, videos and think-tank appearances are renowned for his hard-hitting, provocative yet inspiring and motivational style.
