Chief Digital Officer

Hello! I'm Adam Blumenthal.

Since 1993 I have been leading Digital Innovation projects with the world's best known brands. I'm a deep generalist, equally adept from Biz Dev to Strategy to Creative to Implementation.

I've led dozens of award-winning productions - as a leader at preeminent Madison Avenue agencies, with legends of the entertainment industry, and in fields for social impact.

I'm a partner at Nucco at Unit9, one of the world's preeminent digital design & production companies (AdAge Production Company of the Year 2019, Campaign Technology Company of the Year, 2020 & 2021).

And I'm an adjunct professor at Brown University with a specialty in virtual reality.

I'm a first-generation Digital Native, interactive since 1980. After more than 30 years I share here the perspective of a lifetime creative-technologist, by passion and profession.
